Snow

Yes, that is right, snow! Lakeview recieved its first dose for the season, probably about 2 inches. Livi was so excited to see the snow that she kept on saying, "its raining snow mommy, its raining snow". Hopefully this doesn't mean that it is going to be a bad winter. I'm not sure I could handle that again this year.

Yes I know it has been way to long since my last post. We have been pretty busy in the Bell household. As you most of you know we were supposed to be moving this month. Well things changed and it looks like we might be moving to Utah instead for Damon to finish his schooling. He is looking at going to an accerlated nursing program there. It would be much better for him. He has to take a placement test in October and we will know more in November if we are moving there. So for now we are living with my parents. It can get a little cramped at times but we are so grateful that my parents are willing to let us live here, and they are great with helping out with Olivia. Other than trying to figure out where our lives will take us next we are doing really good. Below are some photos of Olivia in her cape that we had made for her. She always has a real good time playing super princess.

Sleeping Beauty...

So this afternoon Livi fell asleep on the recliner while watching Babe, I just thought it was so cute. I love how precious a child looks when they are asleep. These are some photos that my sister Megan took.

So nothing really exciting has been going on. Damon, Livi, and I are all living at my parents while we wait to move. We have found a cute little house to rent in Winston,OR, which is about 10 minutes away from Roseburg, so Damon won't have to bad of a commute to school. School starts for Damon Sept. 29, so we are planning to move around the 12 or so. Olivia is getting very talkative, she is always seems to babling away about something or another. We haven't started potty training, I've decided to wait until after we have moved, many moms have told me that doing it before a big move is just not a good idea. Other than that we have just been hanging out thinking of things to do with a toddler. I get so tired trying to entertain daily. She has so much energy. Last night she was up bouncing around until 10pm. Her bedtime routine has been thrown off since our move. But 10p.m. how can she have so much energy, she didn't even seem tired when I put her to bed. I realize I haven't posted any photos recently so here some of Livi throughout the summer. Enjoy!

SOLD!

Yesterday Damon and I went and signed papers on the closing of the house. We sold it, it's final. I really can't believe how easy it was for us, we didn't even list the house with a realtor. We just told a boy I went to school with about it, and next thing we know him and his girlfriend want to buy it. I feel really blessed on how easy it has been, I have heard horror stories on how long people have had to wait to sell theirs. I get comfort in knowing that we should be moving to Roseburg just because the house has sold easily and everything is just falling into place. I post some photos of the house in the next couple of days. You'll get to see my cute little kitchen I have to leave. Just can't believe we actually sold our house and we made money of it, WOOHOOO!
