Light bulb!!

So, yesterday morning, I was getting ready for work and I noticed Kaity staring at me. So we start talking and she says, "Mommy, you have brown eyes!" Then, "Daddy has green eyes! Abby has brown eyes!" And I stepped in and said, "No, Abby has green eyes." K-"Oh! They are pretty!" So I ask her what color her eyes are and she tells me they are brown. Instantly, I see the light bulb turn on! With the biggest eyes I've ever seeen on this girl, she says, "Mommy! You have brown eyes, and I have brown eyes! Daddy has green eyes, and Abby has green eyes!" I was so tickled that she had made that connection!

Change, change, change....

So, life has been pretty hectic lately. I started a new job about two-and-a-half weeks ago. I'm a teller at a bank. I've really enjoyed it! We are leaving the girls with a girl in the ward. She has a little girl that will be turning 1 next week. The girls really love going over there and are always talking about "Miss Shelly" and "Baby Lilli". I am so glad we have found someone we can trust and that the girls actually look forward to seeing!

We are in the process of moving into our new rental. We've decided not to buy just yet. Travis is hoping to get some certifications done quickly so that we can move closer to our goal of making it back to Oklahoma. We definitely don't want to go through the stress of paying rent and a mortgage again, or two mortgages, so we're waiting to decide how long we'll be here before we make any permanent plans. So, the house we are moving into is quite a bit bigger than the apartment we are in and has a nice sized yard for the girls to play in. It's also out in the country a bit, so we don't have as many neighbors. I'll take some pictures as soon as I can get the flower beds cleaned up some.
