Updates on the move
We found an OB who will do the surgery so I can move with the family June 26th-30th. Won't know til june 29th what the delivery date will be. but should be sometime between july 5th and july 12th.
i think spence is finally accepting that we are moving and may be getting excited about it. last night he was playing in the den and aidyn was in the kitchen. she was busily pulling plastic cups from the cabinet and tossing them across the kitchen. spence yelled at her and told her that she needed to stop making a mess because no one would want to buy our house if it was messy. then he went into the kitchen, moved her out of the way, and picked up all of the cups and placed them back in the cabinet. he has been really great help for me while daddy has been away.

We Found a House
I took a week to find a house while the kids stayed with grandparents and cousins in Arkansas. They had way more fun than i did. But we found a house. We have a contract and will close on this house June 28th. It is SEVEN minutes from Jeremy's office!!!!!! The kids and mom and dad got to see the house saturday. Everyone seemed excited about the new place. We will give you photos of the inside once it is ours.
Our movers will pack and unload us June 26-30th. Still haven't found an OB to take me in Tennessee, so I may be in Georgia through July 13th until my OB releases me to travel with baby.
How many times can i say, "Crazy."

No news
Our home is showing but no offers yet. This week Spence is in Nashville with Jeremy while Aidyn and I are home for an OB appointment. The boys are staying with cousin Jack. Thankfully Mary Alice and Phillip are taking care of Spence while Jeremy works. Next week all of us will go to Nashville and stay in a hotel close to Jeremy's office. I will spend the week looking for place to live. And we still aren't sure if we will celebrate Spencer's 3rd birthday in Tennessee or in Georgia bc his birthday is Friday the 8th. But we know it will be a Red party because he has been asking for weeks to have a Red party, and to invite Lightening McQueen, Sally, and Mater. (which totally serves justice to mom and dad since we have made fun of Nascar forever and now our son asks to watch car races on tv).

Last day of Preschool
Spencer was so proud to take his flowers to his teachers. He loves American flags, so it was an easy choice for him to pick these flowers. He also made cards for Ms. Kathy and Ms. Susan.
Grace Ingram's Birthday

Aidyn loved riding the pony. Spence's favorite critter was the newborn bunny.
Mary Joyce and Aidyn--Tonggu girls reunite
During the week we learned of our move, in the midst of packing boxes, taking loads of stuff to storage facility, meeting with realtors and such, our friends Chet, Dusty, and Mary Joyce visited us on April 27th. We only had a little while to give hugs, eat lunch, and play. Since that meeting Chet has been transferred to a new ministry position in Florida. They move in June. And they have a baby girl due a week after us. I keep telling them that they must stop copying us on all our life events.

Happy 10th
Today, we were supposed to be relaxing on the Pacific coast. Taking a scenic ten day driving tour of California, Oregon, and Washington for our 10th anniversary. We booked the trip back in October before life got to be so hectic. Last week J cancelled our reservations, since, you know, we are having a son in approximately 8 weeks, J moves to Nashville to start his new job in one week, and we have to sell and buy a house this summer.
Those who have known us our entire marriage know that the current state is pretty normal for us. Never a dull moment. I'm looking forward to all of the fun the next ten years will bring. It's gonna be hard to top the first ten.
Happy Anniversary,
mk

Still in chaos.
What a whirlwind we have lived through the past two weeks.
J found out about the move on april 23rd. we spent that week boxing up items and that weekend moving 50+% of our stuff to storage, to Goodwill, to recycling center and to our curb for a Free garage sale.
Spencer saw that the movers, Josh and Brennan, had loaded his toys into the moving truck and he decided to liberate them. We ended up spending the afternoon getting stitches on his nose because he fell on the loading ramp.
The Grands picked the kids up on April 29th and they have been in alabama since then.
J and I spent that week staging the house. (if you ever need someone to pack all of your belongings and make a room ready to sell, please contact Kim S. and if you ever need someone to clean the inside of every light fixture, every fan blade, stain and paint your window sills and door trim, clean every square inch of your home, please contact Sarah L.) we have great friends!!
J and I spent a weekend in Tennessee looking for housing and came home empty handed. I flew down to Alabama for a week to see the kids. He is going back to Tennessee this weekend to keep searching for a house and to look at apartments. I will fly home next week.
Today the painters finished nuetralizing the kitchen, laundry room, stairwell, aidyn's room, guest bathroom, and hallway. J says it is as dull as dull in our kitchen now without the pretty stripes. and hopefully the landscapers will come do the backyard soon. the house is finally showing. took forever for the pics to get online with mls.
For all of those who have requested throwing us a goodbye party, we still don't know when all four of us will be together at home. The kids will be in alabama til may 19th and J leaves for the new job on may 20th.
miss you and hope to see you soon. please pray we have a place to live soon. i start my weekly OB appointments on May 28th so would be great to be settled for the last month of pregnancy.

Everyone Knows I'm in Over My Head
Where to begin?? Well, the pictures chronicle the last couple of weeks. Everyone knows that I babysit and that eleven weeks from now, Lord willing, we will have a healthy baby boy in the Duncan household. If only we knew when and where??
On April 11th, we all went to Nashville and stayed with our cousin Jack, Mary Alice and Phillip. Jeremy interviewed for a new job and Marsha and the kids stayed thru the weekend. On the 15th Marsha drove the kids to Uncle Sams and handed the children off to Poppa. They stayed in Fairhope til Friday with Gannie and Deedee. Then Grandpa and Grandma left Arkansas, got the kids in Alabama and brought them home. Whew. We all spent the weekend working on the house. Grandpa did a fabulous job on our guest bathroom floor. Grandma helped out with the kids and the boys cleaned out the creekbed. And the deck crew finished up the new deck on Tuesday morning. Monday night Jeremy rushed home between work and school to surprise us with Titans and Vandy stuff as he announced his new job in the Tenn/Kentucky market. He starts there on May 21st. So we have a lot to do in the next few weeks. I've already rented a storage garage. Am meeting with a realtor tonight and another on Friday. Chaos reigns here. I'm sad, sad, sad to leave atlanta bc I have loved living here. we have wonderful friends and neighbors, many who have already volunteered to keep the kids, help pack, or help show the house. but we look forward to new experiences in a new place. . . . and hopefully some snow.
