October 2018 A New Adventure
October started out as a slow easy month. We got news that Devin didn't get a position he put in for, so we were just settling in with a new baby. Life was just going on until we got a phone call on Kamille's 4th birthday.
Devin got a transfer offer to Watford City: same position, same pay, more hours, and better schedule. It's also super close to my parents (4 miles away to be exact). My mom can now help me with the girls on Sundays and do fun things like sewing, scrapbooking, and canning with me (without driving 4 hours round trip every time). We loved our ward in Stanley, and our neighbors and friends, but it was time for our next adventure.
Life got a little more crazy, we were very lucky to find an apartment so fast and its big enough for our family and in our budget. We were able to get rid of a lot of stuff and pack up our house. We had a lot of friends help us with loading and unloading and even packing and cleaning. We still have a lot of cleaning to do and a little more stuff to go through. We truly have been blessed this last October month and have seen the Lord's hand in everything.
Kamille turned 4 on the 9th. She is in 5T clothes and now dresses herself. She usually gets it wrong the first time like: inside out, backwards, or bad matches, but she's working on it. She loves to do her school work and I found out that she is really good at the matching game. She loves her sisters and thinks she is the enforcer. If I say, "don't touch that!" She has to tell Lillian 1000x not to touch it. We are looking at starting figure skating classes for her. Ever since she watched the Olympics with me, she has been obsessed with ice skating. I just found a class for her and I'm pretty excited.
Lillian is growing so fast and won't slow down. She is the tallest and biggest 1 year old I know. She does turn two in January... but seriously she is almost in 4T clothes and almost wears the same shoes as Kamille. I'm hoping it just a growth spurt but the eating won't stop. Some days she eats all her breakfast, finishes Kamille's, then moves to Devin's then mine. Now that we have moved we are cracking down on potty training and she get's so excited every time she goes. I guess the 5lbs of Halloween candy makes GREAT potty treats! haha
Olivia is growing everyday. We go in for her 1 month this week and will see how much she has grown. She is just starting to smile back at me and loves cuddling. I think her favorite thing is bath time. It's so cute to watch her relax in the water. She likes to make lots of noises when she eats and it's kind of cute little growling sounds. We love our cute addition.
Devin is working a lot right now. He is getting 105 hours this next paycheck so that will be nice. He really likes this area and his morning meetings are so much closer then when we lived in Bowbells. He is doing KETO with me and has already lost 18 lbs the last 3 weeks. I'm so glad he is my support system.
I am unpacking, cleaning, laundry, and taking care of kids. That's my life! haha I'm trying to get a few more picture sessions in before it gets too cold, so that will be fun. I've lost 11 lbs these last 3 weeks on KETO and I'm excited to stay on it longer than a month this time. We are hoping for 6 months this time. I also looked into a league volleyball team here and they are starting another season in January. I'm super excited about that! Thanks for reading our family updates. Not too much excitement going on, just life!
