House Cleaning & House Hunting

Just wanted to update you all on what has been happening at the Bumgardner house over the past few weeks. The babies have been appointment-free. They had their 4 month checkup which I updated you on in the last blog. I still need to schedule an appointment for them to get one of the shots that wasn't in at the time of their appointment. The babies have been very healthy lately. That is always good. We have been attending church the past few weeks. We have been sitting in the balcony and last week for baby day we sat in the back with them. We haven't taken them to the nursery yet. We want to make sure that RSV season is definitely over.
It has been so fun to see the babies' personalities come out. They all have been doing a lot of cooing. They all have turned over several times. Anniston can bear weight on her legs. Sometimes when we are trying to burp her she wants to stand up to burp or so it seems. They smile a ton and are becoming very playful. It is too cute. Daddy and I got a little sad a few nights ago as we reflected on a picture book that Jason's mom put together for us while I was in the hospital. We talked about how big they were getting and how fast. I cried and let's just say that I ended up sleeping with the picture book. It is a bitter sweet thing to see your babies grow up.
Jason & I have also decided to put our house on the market. We feel it is time to make the move so I have been busy getting the house ready to show. The plan is to have it on the market by some time next week. Please pray for us as we look for the right house and for our house to sell at the right time also so that we don't have to move twice.
We have also been dreading Grandma & Grandpa Bum leaving on a well deserved vacation. They will be gone for 16 days starting on May 25th and it has been nice to have them around to help. They have been wonderful.
I also got to celebrate my first mother's day with my babies actually outside of the womb. I consider this to be my 2nd mother's day. Jason helped the babies make their fingerprints and footprints in clay. Too sweet.
I think that is about all for now. I will update with some new pictures hopefully tomorrow. You will have to check them out.
Thanks so much for all of your prayers and encouragement.

I totaly understand how fast they grow! Brian and I watched video's of Carson last night for an hour after we put him to bed. I have tried to enjoy every moment with him since he has been born. Now more then ever I wish I could rewind time. I can't wait to do this again.
The babies are beautiful. I will be praying for a house for you. It's an exciting time for you guys.:)
