All is calm, All is bright

I know it's super late right now, but we are at my in-laws and I am waiting to go to bed, but Devlin won't go to sleep!  So I'm letting him fall asleep in the big bed, which is apparently easier for him.  

Anyway, today was Christmas!  We had a blast spending the last couple of days in Fort Collins and spending time with family.  We also spent quite a bit of time looking for places to live, which has been stressful for us.  Jaren is going to be starting his last semester of college before graduation and we are coming back to Fort Collins!  He was also extended his job until graduation; at that point they will re-evaluate to see where he will go from there!  We are so excited that he has a stable and flexible job through his last semester.  

Christmas has been wonderful this year.  Devlin and Kade loved opening presents and seeing all of the cool things inside.  Devlin's favorite was, of course, his train that he got from Santa.  Kade's favorite was an old fashioned toy telephone with eyes that Devlin gave to him.  Also, Kade starting doing the "real" crawl today and we actually got it on video!

We are looking for a place to live and have an amazing prospect, and we are potentially signing a lease tomorrow.  Pray that all goes well!  

If all goes well with this place, I have big plans!  We would have a nice, big yard and a garage!  I would be able to have my piano back too.  I am planning on bringing my mom's inventory to this place and using the space to sell it and get money for her headstone.  I am also planning on selling my own things (I will have to make a post dedicated to that subject later).  

Well, I realize that I'm really tired and my kids are now asleep (yay!)  

Hopefully I'll be able to make a post tomorrow announcing us having a place to live and then I can post pictures :)

Merry Christmas!
