… with Hailey and Brianna!

7:30am: Breakfast! This morning it consisted of a Yogurt tube and whatever else she might have agreed to eat. She’s getting really picky these days.

Brianna watched from the bouncy chair (with Hailey’s doll), she had already got her morning milkshake.

8:00am: Naptime for Brianna, play time for Hailey
10:00am: Nursing time for Brianna, then play time all together! Brianna got to experience the jolly jumper for the first time, she didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it. Probably just got annoyed as Hailey pushed her in circles. Oh the life of a little sister.

11:00am: More naps for Brianna (or tried to make her nap…) Hailey put her doll in the jolly jumper and pushed her around when I wouldn’t let her go in it.

12:00pm: Lunch time! Then playing until nap time.

1:30pm: Nap time for Hailey, nursing time for Brianna. (thus I never get a break because one or both kids are always up). Then we have a photoshoot.

2:30pm: Hailey is up. Brianna looks adoringly from her tummy time spot.

3:00pm: We pushed Brianna’s nap off and went for a quick walk! Cut short because the neighbours were spreading manure and it was dusty and smelly not too far down the road.

Followed by a rousing rendition of Pat-a-cake (Hailey’s fave and a song she bursts into singing at random points of the day)

Serious faces from Brianna mean it’s nap time!

4:30pm: Nursing time for Brianna and we start dinner.

5:15pm: Dinner time. And Brianna begins to get fussy (another nap time) so either Scott or myself alternate eating with Hailey.

5:45pm: Clean up a bit and play time until bed.

6:30pm: Cluster feed for Brianna followed by bedtime for Brianna.

7:30pm: Bedtime for Hailey!

7:40pm: Collapse on the couch, edit photos,work on the photos books I need to get done asap and surf the internets.

10pm: Bedtime for the adults to gather energy for tomorrow.

All my life I have dreamed of the day when I would have my forever home. Thought about the details, how I might decorated it and what it would look like. For the past 2 and a half years Scott and I rented a home and every day I would just know that we were one day closer to someday owning our forever home.

When we first got married we purchased our first piece of property. A 68 acre piece of land with an 800 head finishing barn.  No House.

Then we started renting another pig barn, a 2000 head finishing barn with more land.

Pigs and land take time and money, so with each purchase we were farther (in my mind at least) from owning our home.

In December my grandparents talked about selling their farm. A beautiful house, workshop and 72 acres. Scott started dreaming and talking about buying the farm. I figured there was no way we would be able to afford it. In February we went to talk to them about and they thought it was a wonderful idea and would hold off on putting it up for sale. Scott worked numbers and the next thing we knew plans were made, the loan was granted and we had bought another farm. WITH A HOUSE!

We move this weekend. As in 4 days from now. And I just stared packing.  Someone hold me please.

So you want photos? Well you are no stranger to this house, Micaela & Kent’s wedding was held at this beautiful piece of property.

Last week my computer crashed (hard drive fried), and along with it went all my photos, so I don’t have the photos I had of it last week so I’ll just have to take some new ones when we move to show it off.

Right now I’m surrounded in boxes and am very thankful that Hailey is so sleepy today so I can get a good start on packing everything up.
