Wake up Call...

Payton woke me around 3:30am telling me she had a nightmare... As she crawled up into bed with me to calm down she said "Daddy is coming home today! Is he home yet?" Uh... it is the middle of the night kiddo! This morning she asked if Daddy would wrestle with her tomorrow like he promised. Guess I better inform him of his plans for the day!

Gotta love kids!

With our, hopefully soon, upcoming move we have been preparing the girls by talking about everything that is going to be happening in the upcoming months. We have been talking about buying a new house that they can pick their rooms and paint colors, how we will be close to their aunties and grandparents.... Payton was VERY concerned at first. She said "I love my room and my bed, and my toys!" We have FINALLY convinced her that we are packing up everything in the house and she will not have to leave her things behind. She basically thought we were going to pack a suitcase and move in with my sister and her family! Poor thing...

Addie on the other hand, is just excited that "Grammy is coming to our house!" They are SO different:)

On the Move

Well, a lot of you know this, but the Stewards are moving to Appleton, Wisconsin! Brian can post about his new job opportunity... basically out of the blue Brian got a call from a company in Wisconsin that he has been looking at for YEARS. They had a new job opening they thought he would be good for. A week later he had a job offer and we decided to take it. We will be MINUTES from both my sisters and their families!! And only a few hours (3 1/2 instead of 8) from our parents. We are really excited, but it is bittersweet for me especially. I have some really good friends here that I will be sad to leave behind... But it will be awesome for our girls to grow up with their cousins! The next few months are going to be crazy with Brian commuting back to MN on weekends. I will stay here with the girls and work. My mom graciously offered to come stay with me as long as it takes to sell our house here. Say a prayer that it won't take too long!
