An Update

Wow, it has been over 2 months since I last posted on this blog and it hasn't been because nothing has been going on... because quite the opposite has been true. Life around this house has been crazy! It seems like we just hit the ground running after Christmas vacation and the end is no where near insight. I mean we will be celebrating Easter in less than 2 weeks and I still never blogged about Christmas. Ha! So here is a list (in no particular order) of all the things this family of 5 has endured in the past few months:

• The kids and I headed to Gatlinburg, TN for a weekend trip with our good friends while Brandon went on a boys' camping trip in Pisgah, NC. We both had an awesome weekend!
• We celebrated jointly P and Henry's birthday by having one big bash at the Bowling Alley on Post. It was a hit and all the kiddos had a great time!
• We now have a sixth member of the family in terms of a new pet. Gizmo is a chocolate lab and is about 18 months old. She has been a good addition to the mix and is fairly well behaved for a puppy. 
• Did I mention P turned 6 and Henry turned 3?!?! When did this happen?!? How did they get so old... my babies are growing up on me. 
• We put our house on the market. Its officially for sale! We will be PCSing to Fort Huachucha, AZ around the end of July. After almost 4 years here, we are ready for something new. We gave the house a deadline of June 1 if after that we haven't had any viable offers, we will transition into the rental mode and try to find a renter for our house. This is a stressful journey for us! We love our house so much and have done a lot to it. We just hope a family will come along and like it as much as we do and put in an offer. This process just stinks because we have no control over the situation... we just have to stay positive and have a little faith. 
• Since our house is on the market, Brandon and I have been working hard on getting the house in tip top shape. We still have a few projects left on our list. We are trying our best to make our house look like we are ready to leave it :)
• A few weekends ago, the kids & I visited the Nashville Zoo with good friends while Brandon stayed home and painted the entire downstairs. The weather was great and all the kids had fun. We ended the day with dinner at Chick Fil A. 
• Scott is finally taking steps!!! He isn't quite a full fledged walker but he is walking and taking at least 10 steps at a time. He is so proud of himself... we are liking this new phase. Except for he keeps me on my toes now more than ever :)
• Spring Break is next week and we are headed down to SC for the week! Cannot wait to get there and have lots of fun with our family & friends!!

So there you go just a little update on what the Doggettes have been up to lately. Hopefully I will get better about posting more regularly!
