If you still read our blog and are interested, here's an update:
We are still moving to Mississippi, in fact, we've got less than a week. Our current home is a wreck. Things are either half-packed, strewn about, or trying to be sold frantically on craigslist. (which if you want a futon, desk, filing cabinet, or anything baby - let me know!)
Here's our new place in Mississippi:
We are trying to get ready for our big move. The kids are excited for making new friends and playing in our new backyard. C is excited to be a "southern belle." Ever since she saw The Princess and the Frog, she has been dying to be Tiana. She speaks with a southern accent and really wants to go to New Orleans. When I told her we were only 1.5 hours away, she jumped around very excitedly singing songs from the movie. Her typical answer to one of my questions is, "Sure thing, Sugar!" (Of course, with a Louisiana accent - pronounced Show thang, Shuga)
A is doing well and ready for the baby to come in Sept. It's not easy to pack, be a mom, and move being almost 8 months pregnant. Plus, we're going to hot and humid Mississippi - that'll be a change. By the way, we decided to find out what the baby is going to be (mainly because we didn't want to move baby things we weren't going to need - and because we had it in an envelope and couldn't wait). So, we shall announce that we will be having a little girl!
B is really enjoying our moving boxes and is a big fan of popsicles. He also likes to pick up ants, spiders, moths, and anything that moves in front of our house. He's a true boy, except for when we see him dressed up in dresses and trying to put on C's fake lipstick or brushing his hair...
J is getting ready for the new job and finishing his DMA long distance. It's going to be a rough 6 months ahead, but we're bracing for it.
Anyways, it has been great in Ann Arbor and we're going to miss it here. However, on to the next phase in the deep south.

I'm so excited for you!!! What a super cute house, and it will be so fun to have so much space. Way to go J, your students are going to love you.
Good luck with getting ready for the big move. I love the house you're moving to!
good luck with the move and congratulations on the new little one. my wish came true, as i was hoping for another girl. give c and b a big hug and kiss from me.
So fun guys! That IS the deep south. What a fun experience! Going from CT to NC in the hot summer has been an adjustment for us too but I just keep reminding myself of how nice it's going to be to be able to go running in gorgeous weather come Fall and even in December and January!
Congratulations on another sweet baby girl!! And I wish we lived closer so I could have your babies over to play all day and let you sleep or pack or feel sane for 5 minutes or something. You are loved. Hang in there. Life is beautiful! :)
