Well, well, well. It's been too long. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about the day that things will settle down and I'll be able to post more frequently and catch up with the blogging community.
We sold our house about a month ago and we just have a couple of weeks left before closing! We sold it on our own but I think we decided that realtors earn every penny of their commission.
Now that the school year is off to a wonderful start here are some of the many interesting things we have encountered in the past two months on our way to work: a snake spanning the width of the road, chickens, chicks and roosters in the parking lot, a bull in the middle of the road staring us down, an arachnid the size of my fist attended my second period class, numerous skunks, goats, packs of dogs, several escaped cows, a doe and two fawn, two wild hogs crossing the road, and wolves.
Although we seem to be working round the clock we both feel a great sense of fulfillment knowing that this is exactly what we are meant to do.
On a very positive note both kids are extremely happy with their caretakers and look forward to going to Nanny's house every day! Remy likes to name all of her friends one by one and tell us who is going to be there. She's also very protective of Ben. The caretakers have said of Ben that he is loveable and happy and smiles all the time. There is one particular elderly woman who just loves our Ben and cuddles him all day long! Of Remy they have said that they are impressed with her abilities to communicate and that she is very intelligent for her age. This big change is the best thing that could have happened for her. Where she was reserved and scared around other people before now she is talkative and relaxed in social settings.
I'll be posting lots of pictures today catching up on milestones in the Plagge family.
