The never ending search...

It seems never ending at any rate. So, it's almost a month since Ken graduated and I'm still at my in-laws and Ken is over on the Island. We have yet to find anywhere to live. We had tried to buy a townhouse, but it all fell through, which was good, as neither of us where completly comfortable with it and it just all felt way to rushed. So after spending eight days over on the Island in a hotel room with two small children we made our way back to the mainland for Christmas still homeless.

We since decided to rent and wait on the buying, but we seem to be having just as much trouble. It doesn't help that Ken is working 12 hour shifts, so his time is really limited. We found one place that was beautiful, but a little on the small size that didn't happen b/c the woman renting it didn't seem to keen on kids. Then the other house Ken looked at was large and had the most "beautiful" rose coloured carpets (yes, i'm being sarcastic). But since there aren't many options out there, unless we want to pay a lot of money, it looks like it could very well be the pink palace, as i call it. I would post some pictures, but i'm on the wrong computer. But at this point in time nothing is certain, since we have yet to hear from the property managment company wether or not we can take it. So, it's starting to look like I could be here until Febuary...:(





i can't tell you how tired i am of waiting. Ihad pictured myself setting up my new home and getting to know my new neighbourhood, having family time once again, by now, but no i'm still here, still waiting, still homeless. At least Micah seems to be starting to sleep a little better. He has a good morning nap and is going to sleep by himself without much crying. And today for the first time his afternoon nap was longer than 45 minutes. Oh and he laughed for the first time the other day. It was a full body laugh and lasted a few minutes. It was so cute. I actually had tears in my eyes. He is the smiliest (is that a word) happiest baby, when he's not crying at the top of his lungs b/c he's overtired and can't get to sleep.

Isn't he the cutest!! Of course, i think so, i'm his mom!! But, oh how i love his smiles and his baby talk. And he smiles like this all the time. So precious!!

In case you were wondering, he is now four months old as of Dec 28. I know, he looks a lot older. He is a big baby. The 3-6 month clothes are starting to get tight on him already.
