The West Way: Life happens

So much has changed in our lives since I wrote last and honestly I have no excuse for not being on here and updating. I'm going to confess that many days I don't feel like our life is anything special to write about. I know there may be a mom or dad out there that is going through the same things we go through and would like to know how we do life (and if there is I would LOVE to hear from you). We could all learn from each other. So today I'm not just going to tell you about the good things that have been happening in the West household, but the bad, the ugly and sometimes funny. Here is a quick list of the past couple months

Our Peanut was born in January, we applied for her birth certificate and passport in February, we had to make a trip to London two days before we moved to pick them up because even though we were assured they would be in our hand way before that, they weren't.
We flew on a semi full airplane for 10 hours with a 2 year old and a 2 month old. I can't complain too much because both kids were FANTASTIC, we only had 1 blowout and 1 change of clothes for mom and Peanut.
About 2 weeks after we arrived back in Texas, Peanut got RSV and Little Man got croup in the same week, so breathing treatments, and steroids all around
All of our belongings arrived approximately 2 months after we got home, thankfully everything was in one piece and working, I think I might have had a meltdown had something been broken.
During all of this Little Man refuses to poop in the toilet but will gladly turn his rear end to you while he tells you he already pooped :|
Bubba got a possible job lead in Washington state for it to fall through 3 days later, we are still a little bummed about that one, but we are very hopeful that a new job is on the horizon and we will be able to share that good news soon.
It's now June and we are living in my parents house that is for sale and everyday we hope that we get a call from their realtor saying that it's being shown, so far no such luck. It REALLY needs to sell!
Peanut is going to be 6 months soon and I am still having trouble getting her to sleep through the night, any suggestions out there???
Little Man is FINALLY using the bathroom and in underwear with maybe 1 accident a day (I really hope I didn't just jinx myself)

As you can see our house has had some ups and downs the past couple of months and we are getting ready for some more changes in our lives. Our kids are troopers and it doesn't seem to phase them to much when we make big changes (and for that I am extremely thankful). Hopefully by this time next year I can say that we have been settled for a while and there won't be any major moves or changes in the immediate future, but for now we play it by ear. I love my family and their flexibility to our life and I love that my husband supports me staying home with Little Man and Peanut. If I sound like Debby Downer (and I hope I don't) I'm not really sorry, life happens, the good, the bad, the funny and the ugly. So since so much has happened, here are a few pictures of us :)
