Rummel Family: Busy winter

Been a while since I made a post. We've just been hanging out at home, trying to stay healthy, and busy with preschool and church on Wednesday nights. The boys go to the Awana program, Alex in Cubbies and Adam in Puggles, while Erin is in the nursery and I go to the women's bible study. Andy is the game leader for Awana and directs the games for the older classes. He's a bit of a celebrity in church sometimes.... I can hear whispers of the kids say "Look Mom! That's the game guy!" They dont know his name, but his part of Awana is for sure their favorite. :)

Erin finally has two teeth on the bottom! And she's running to keep up with the boys---not to be left behind. :) The boys have gone from calling her "Baby Erin" to "Miss Erin" or more commonly in their playing, "Tornado Erin!"

Quite recently, we're in for some change. We've been wanting to add on to the house and recently figured out it would cost an arm and a leg. So we thought for the same price we could buy a newer existing house. I prayed alot since Christmas, trying to discern if a move was really God's will for us. There are so many reasons not to move, yet circumstances were kinda pointed that way. This past weekend we actually found one that met our list of things we wanted in a house. So we put an offer on it and it was accepted. Today, our house is on the market. Not sure how I'm going to keep this place neat and tidy for random showings, but I hope the buyers understand what a house can look like with 3 kids 5yr and under! Interestingly, when we went to see the house we are purchasing, the owners were not aware of a showing and pulling in just after we did. Our realtor was late, but we knew the owners! Turns out Alex's preschool teacher and her husband built and own the house we hope to close on. It was kinda nice to have them point out things that a realtor might not know (like neighbors). Anyway, the new house was built in 2005 and is about 5 miles from our current home. It's absolutely beautiful and huge! I'll post more about it later, but we are excited. The boys are not against moving even though they havent seen it yet. We told them it still has woods and a cool basement to play in. :) We dont close til the end of May, so we're praying for patience....and a buyer!
