Dreams and change of plans...

I went to bed last night at 1:00 it was so late because I was talking to the people who wanted to adopt the three kids we can not handle. So, I went to bed and had a dream that completely changed all plans about the kids. In the dream we moved to Cleveland only with three kids and when we got there we never talked to the kids we left to family, we never saw them, and we never ever got to keep in contact with them. It was no dream it was a nightmare. I considered the dream and I figured that I DID NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER want that to happen to the family. We looked at some houses online and found that for another half a million it is ok if it is for keeping the family together. All in all we are keeping all 6 kids together and we are all moving to Cleveland together! Somebody came in for a viewing and LOVED the house! How exciting is that?!?! They wanted to settle on December 5,2010!!! My birthday!!! I will have the BEST 40th present EVER!!!! After the 5th we will box everything up we need and move out! The kids start school on Monday and are all very happy. Tonight was meet the teacher! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Emerson's third grade teacher! Yu want to know why I LOVE her SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO much?!?! Because I taught third grade with her. She started the same year, had a baby the same year, and left the same year when she had her little girl like me! Kaitlyn's 4th grad teacher is ok. She is a plump and likes to be called Mrs. Blosh because her name is Mrs. Blosheol. Claire's pre-school teacher is SO LOVE-ABLE!!! Her name is Mrs. Yawner LOVE her too. Dustin is Loving his pre-school teacher because he is only 26 and loves soccer. How funny. It seems they are only a year apart. Tell you kids good luck in school!

p.s I deleted all the posts about giving up the kids.

Boden

I emailed a woman I thought I could be friends with through blogging she emailed me back and stated, "why are you lifting all of your photos off the boden catalog and trying to pass them off as yourself?" I wanted to giver her a truthful answer so I told her, "my kids applied for the Boden Summer 2010 and Winter 2010 photo shoot in the spring." That is what really happened. Just to make it clear I took the images from Boden's website (with permission from Boden) and said they were my kids, in which they are. Sorry about any "innocence" about all of that. Just to confirm I am a real person.

It is offical

It is official. The for sale sign is up! Sure I would have loved to been home to see that but it is all ok! Emerson said to me, "Mommy, I am sort of getting tired of it here." I was so shocked when she said she wanted to leave. "Do you want to go home or what" she smiled at me and said, "yes, I miss Dustin." I guess they have some special bond I wasn't exactly aware of. Well, I have to saw we are leaving a few days early. It was a vacation, sort of, for me and her of corse. We are leaving tomorrow. I must go home and call the cleaning lady! We have our first open house next sunday, in a week! I am so excited that each kid will have their own bedroom and bathroom! The master bathroom has double sinks and we each have our own place to get ready! That does mean separate closets! I wasn't very excited at first that we had to buy a whole new house, sell the old, and all of that. I hope we don't have to relocate again. I am going to hire a nanny and go out to Cleveland and study all of the houses and pick ours. I will be out there for as long as I need. I have to pick the house, get all the stuff for the house, and lastly decorate the whole house. As sad as it sounds I do have to give up my dance teaching job. There is three tap teachers at the dance studio and now there will only be two. I am going to look for a tapping job in Cleveland. I am going to be the mean mom this year and not let my kids do any activities. They can do stuff at home. The worst part about the WHOLE ENTIRE move is we have to give up our baby, Milo! I love that dog SO much and I have to give him up! My parents offered to take him but it was to much for them, as I could sense. The reason the baby has to go is because he was becoming too much controlling 2 kids, moving to sippy cups, one kid going into cups and being potty trained, one kid peeing the bed, one child having the 7 year old girl attitude, and lastly the 9 year old phase. Ordering special dog food was WAY TOO much money and I was really getting worried it was out taking the kids! We are enrolling them in Cleveland Catholic school for the second half of their school year. The Catholic school ends at fifth grade and then they will go to public school. The house will be ready to move into when we leave. The only thing we are taking is clothes, and ourselves. We are selling everything else in a huge yard sale! By the time we move EVERYTHING will be decorate and ready to live in! As soon as we can I will show you some pictures of the finished house!

XOXO,

Lydia

p.s. I will still blog for you. Just from a different place.

sorry for the long post

Logan and Luke 1 year old

I recently adopted two 1 year old twins from United States and their names were and still are Logan and Luke. They haven't tried skiing and I don't plan on trying for a few more years. That concludes all of my family. Come back for more post later this week.

Dustin 3 years old

Dustin is a Daddy's boy and always will be. He tried skiing and had a strong dislike! I am not even going to say what he said. He loves riding scooter and bike. He is very quiet and shy to non-family members. Going to his 1st year of pre-school in the fall!

Emerson 7 years old

Emerson is my 7 year old. She is the biggest Mommy's girl! She is going to 3rd grade in the fall and is not very excited. She loves seeing her friends and having them over! I always knew she was a Mommy's girl at heart! She was also the one who convinced us to adopt, move, buy the house we are in now, and put in a pool. I hope she is a sales person someday!

Claire 4 years old

This is my little girl named Claire. She is summer happy but can't wait for her final year of pre-school. She tried skiing with the rest of us but when she got to the bottom she said, "I am a summer girl and I don't think you can change that!" Ever since last winter she counted down the days to summer. I wonder if she will start again next winter?
