Spring is in the air!

Spring is almost here and after a cold and long winter, I welcome it with open arms! For those who live up north and are still experiencing cold days, I'm sorry! We have averaged 70 here and it has been great.

The warmer weather makes us open the windows and PLAY OUTSIDE! Jake especially has been outside from the moment he wakes up! We drag him in for dinner and then out he goes again!

The girls are doing great, they are enrolled in dance class and have been doing great at that. They ask every day if it's Thursday, dance day!

The transition has gone great! We have met some fantastic people in Vidalia and I'm happy to call this home. I'm beyond grateful for everyone who has invited us to dinner, answered questions, and been there for us when we needed something.

Most of you know I have sold 31 in the past, since the move, I have decided to try a new adventure. I signed up to sell Scentsy...you can read all about it at www.neenabloxham.scentsy.us! I've said before, I don't sell it to make money, I sell it as a way to concentrate on something else besides kids! I love them dearly, but it's nice to get out and think about something besides laundry, dinner, and tantrums!

Chris is still doing great at work. He too loves Vidalia and we hope we will make this a permanent move (hint to Republic)!

Take care,
The Bloxham's

WOW!

I don't know where to begin. My emotions are all over the place right now, I'm driving my family nuts.

Change is good, I understand that. I'm leaving my comfort zone though. I'm leaving so many things, it's hard to list them all. Let me start by saying that I have the most amazing support system here. From neighbors, to our church, to the multiples club, and doctors we have gotten to know here, I know that if I need help I have it. I'm grateful for everyone associated with these groups, in fact an amazing group of women went to dinner Friday to wish me farewell. Through the dinner, they helped me wipe my tears since I was SO emotional about all the changes that are coming our way. They laughed with me, and agreed with me when I explained my fears. I can only say thank you to these women. They have cheered me on through some of my darkest days and I'm internally greateful to each and every one of them.

The move is here, as the kids say one more night night and the packers will pack all of our stuff in boxes. They have been unbelievable calm through all the changes. Remember, Chris has been away for 5 months and they have handled this transition with grace. They are unbelievable children and I'm proud to be their mother.

I know Vidalia is only an hour and a half away, but it's a new town with new people. I must overcome my anxiety of finding the support system I have here, there. I must say EVERYONE has been so supportive there. I have contacted the Presbyterian church in Vidalia to let them know we are coming and I have started to attending the playgroup there. From the minister and his wife, to moms from the playgroup, everyone has been great.

Chris has settled in quite well. He has gotten to know a lot of city officials and has taken his new role with Republic well. I'm afraid he will be working long hours and have nights when he is going from meeting to meeting. We will make the best of it!

So here we go.....a journey I'm sure will work out, but I can't feel anything but nervous as it approaches.

Changes are Coming!

Things have not changed much, we found a rental in Vidalia and starting to settle into that. Mom and I painted 2 rooms and then hired a painter to finish the rest of the house!! Kudos to painters, it's not something I enjoy! We ripped up the carpet in two rooms and replacing that next week as well. The rental is half the size of our current house, on a positive note, it's half the house I have to clean! Chris and I have decided the official move will happen in January, I plan to call the moving company next week and set the date. As the title states, changes are coming!

The kids are doing well, still loving school. They have adjusted to Chris being gone and commuting back and forth between two houses really well.

Life is GOOD!

Things are moving right along in the Bloxham house, Chris is loving his new job, the kids love preschool, and I couldn't be happier as a mom!

We are still planning on moving to Vidalia. It seems a bit more complicated when you are being relocated by a company and they want to handle every little detail. It sounds as though it should be relaxing, but it's not. Our house is going on the market probably in a week or so, if you know anyone looking in the Pooler area, send them our way! Chris is still commuting on weekends and is happy in Vidalia. Mom is here helping me with the kids and just started at Cracker Barrel last week. She has been a huge help with Chris gone during the week. I know the kids LOVE to have her here and she loves being around them. I so wish my parents could live closer!

The Kids LOVE preschool and ask every day including weekends if they are going to school. Here are some recent pictures that my best friend from Katie Sharp Photography took.

As you can see the kids are growing up. I can't believe that they will be 4 in December! It feels just like yesterday that I was pregnant on bed rest!

I hope this post finds everyone doing well, we will be in touch as things start to progress here!

Preschool Already?

There are times when I look back and think to myself the triplets are already 3? We are getting closer to 4 every day! Sunday, we will be attending the Open House at Bloomindale First Baptist preschool. It's amazing that the kids are ready for preschool!

Chris is officially residing in Vidalia during the week and commuting home on weekends. He seems to be enjoying his new role and is adjusting to life in a small town. I came up with the kids to my parents in Maryland this week so we officially have not been through a week without him yet! I know next week will be a challenge, but we have preschool to keep us entertained in the mornings!

Blessed

It's been brought to my attention recently that I have not updated the blog lately, and you are right! I guess life just starts happening and we forget to do certain things! I'm very grateful for the family and friends that we have. It's people like you who keep me positive. You keep me grounded. You keep me real. Thank you, no matter how we parent or the stresses that we face, we always try to remember to smile! Here is what is going on:

Chris: Working hard and working hard at being a great father!

Neena: Just trying hard to do the right thing! My 31 business is going well and I'm very grateful for it!

Kids: They are 3 and doing well! Will post pictures soon.

Sickness?

Will we ever get well? It seems everyone including Chris and I are coughing, have sore throats, or running fevers. Agg....life slows down, but then you start climbing the walls inside your house! The kids are cute when they tell me they have a sore throat, they tell me their mouth hurts! It took me a while to figure that one out!

It seems we have regressed back to the first year, Isabella and Jake are waking up 2 to 3 times in the middle of the night. No real reason why, they just want to see us...not real happy about that! Thank goodness for Kendall, she loves her sleep (just like her mom and dad)!

My cousin Kelly is coming into town this weekend to visit with her two children. We are going to see Pooh at the Children's Theatre on Saturday and hang out and let the kids play. Her kids are older which means my kids will be entertained!

I had my first Thirty-One party on Monday! I love it! I have another one on Thursday at my friends Laura's house. Once again, so thankful I found something I love (bags) and could bring my love of bags to others!

We are off to Katie's house to help her organize and to let the kids play!
