Trying to Stay on top of it all...

THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW!!!!
Mike is striving to get all his requirements completed for graduation
We are trying to pack up the house, de-clutter and plan for a garage sale
Everett is 8 weeks old
The kids have gotten sick way more this Winter than ever
We were looking to rent a home in Tri-Cities, but are realizing now that its a buyers market which means...
We are trying to get approved for a loan, search for houses from a distance, debate on whether one of us should make the 4 flight, 3 hour time change trip for 3 days or if we can make such a big purchase all through skype, email and the reliable opinion of family and friends.
Keeping up with the day to day activities of life with 3 small children...meals, laundry, cleaning, playdates, birthday parties, nail clippings, baths...you get the idea.
Sleep...enough said
taxes...

Anyway, my point is clear, there is too much to do and much too little time. 
Here is my update:

Loves her mini princesses
Loves to wear dresses and skirts
Plays really well with Lincoln, usually.
Still has to touch her little brothers faces..continually.

Is so smart
Always wants to be Mommys helper

My advice on house hunting- don't buy until YOU see it! It's a big purchase and one you want to make sure you LOVE. It's worth the flight/time/money to view the home yourself.
Best of luck with your upcoming changes- exciting, but overwhelming at the same time!
