Hanging around at Dot-Dot's House

So, since we are living at my mom's for a while while renovating the new house Mac has spent a lot of time outside pushing the walker up and down the driveway and checking out Dot-Dot's beautiful landscaping compliments of my sister's landscape design talents. Notice we are getting some extra use out of the Halloween outfit!ha!

Trick or Treat!

Yes, Mac was a fireman and a VERY cute fireman at that! We went trick or treating with the cousins and some more friends and had a fabulous time. I forced Zach to walk him around in the hiking pack and carry a bucket(very obvious the candy collection was not for the one year old), but Zach was a good sport. We are looking forward to more holiday festivities to come ...

On Repeat

Well, we have made the move and are now residing at my mom's house and by the looks of things we will be here through the holidays. The new house I believe has a few more projects than we thought... like we didn't even notice there was no laundry area! I guess that's what you get when you buy a house built in the 30's or 40's anyway .....
So, Mac's vocabulary is improving everyday and he has now mastered da-da, dah-dah(Dot-Dot is my mom), ahhight(light) but his favorite word is "I". We have been singing this song about cows in the bathtub since birth because of this "lovely" CD Zach's friend Austin and his mother gave us(all songs are about cows in some way). The songs goes .. "I saw a cow in the bathtub reading a book, a big book about ice cream..." Mac has picked up on the first word and right after I end the song he says, "I." So essentially I am on repeat with this song all day ....

Making some progress ..

Well, it looks as if the Greene family is making some progress in many ways...
Mac is now standing on his own - yet to take a step put loves to pick things up, stand, scream and then plop back down on his booty. Never the less that's progress.
Zach has made a smooth job transition and is now working with his dad and another guy doing commercial and residential appraisal. It is fabulous because every morning when Mac and I go to walk we can stop by daddy's office and pop in(not sure if Zach appreciates all our little drop bys but ...)
Though the market has slowed, I have had a few closings this month, which with the new house and all the projects we are facing were very welcomed. As far as packing up our little home I am definitely making progress! Most everything is boxed up and ready for the big move next weekend. Mac is going to love living at Dot-Dot's(my mom) for a few weeks ....

Feeling Stressed ...

So, here we are October 5 and only 12 days till we have to vacate our home of 2.5 years. I know that doesn't sound like long but it is the house I brought my little baby home too last year, so I do feel a twinge of sadness, however, that small emotion is overcome by my stress. The last time we moved we had about 15 pieces of furniture to our name and a few boxes of mostly wedding gifts now somehow over the last 2.5 years we have filled our house and to pack and move seems so daunting! The added stress could also be because I am pregnant and hormonal but ....
Yesterday I wanted to start packing but where do you start dishes? decor? clothing? ugh .. this sucks ... To add to it Zach will be on active duty for a few weeks post move and I will be overseeing to remodel of the 1940's shack we convinced ourselves was the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood with soooo much character ... I just needed to vent a little bit ... wish me luck in the next 12 days ...

Finally some pictures!!!

Here are a few pictures just to get ya'll up to date .... Mac is at a great age and so much fun!

The worst blogger ever!!

So, I thought I would be able to keep up with this darn thing but I am such a slacker. The real story is that a tree from our neighbors yard feel into ours crushing the powerlines and causing our circuits to blow everywhere in the house. There were lots of cracked blubs and of course now half of our outlets won't work!! However, Zach's precious TV was spared because of a surge protector but our computer suffered some casualties .... thus I have not been on the computer much lately unless I am at the office for real estate stuff.
So here is the Greene family update without pictures ... AGAIN
We are expecting a new addition somewhere around March 15th. I will be so happy for Mac to have a sibling to bother instead of mom all the time. He is growing an exploring so much and is just on the verge of walking(secretly I am hoping he is walking by Halloween so that when we go trick or treating he can actually walk to the door and I don't have to put him in a stroller and be one of those parents that are obviously just bringing their baby around for the candy!ha!) By the way Mac will be a fireman for Halloween ... the perfect little outfit was at a consignment sale I went to where I bought all of his fall/winter clothes for under $50 .. amazing! I am ready for the weather to cool down so he can wear them and I can stop sweating like a pig whenever we are playing at the park or going for a walk ... and of course I am ready for all the fall festivities!
Hello to all Mac's little cousins and all the out of town friends. WMac sends a belated happy birthday to Ellie Stewart!!:)

Please overlook all the errors I just made typing that ....
