What's going on - quotes and staging our home

First, let's start with a few quotes from today and yesterday.  I just love overhearing the kiddos from the other room. 

Kara has lots of words (or words we give her credit for, in any case).  Just so she doesn't get left out, let's start with her:  "Bum-buh" (for bumblebee) "Buh-bun" (for her bunny, Bun Bun) "Ma Ma"  "Da Da"  "Meh Meh" (Mimi) "Bru-ber" (brother) "Day-dee" (Katie - she doesn't say this one very often) and my favorite, she already had plenty of food on her tray, but she said over and over while freaking out after I sat down with a plate "Na Na... na na... na na..." - yup, she knows a banana when she sees one.

Katie - "O.k!  I'm going to church now."
Connor - "Mary!  You forgot your baby Jesus."
Katie - "Oh... he's too whiny and fussy.  I'm not taking him to church."
Later, when I was telling this to Grandparents and Daddy, Connor added that he, Joseph, had taken baby Jesus to a small church just for him.  Phew!  I was a bit worried. ;)

Katie, while building a tower with dice. -  "O.k.  I have a tall tower, now the righteous will run into it."  (Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous man runs into and is safe."

Connor - "O.k., Katie.  Let's get on the Pharisee Boat!"   (yeah... no clue about the context/idea behind that one).

In other news, we are planning to list our home next week.  Yikes!  It's been, well 5 years really, of getting the house really.  But we've been planning toward this from when we were pregnant with Kara. With Kara being, shall we say, high-maintenance we new last year was not the year and aimed for this March.  Looks like we will (Lord willing and weather permitting) take pictures next week and list next week also.

So, what's the plan?  Just that.  List the house.  If the house sells, we'll be in North Bend until we figure out our next move.

Oh, have we mentioned that Kara's walking?  11 months, beating her sister by a full 2 months (and her brother by 7 months).  Wow.  God has been SO gracious in that anxiety/worry about her gross motor has never even been a consideration.
