Rogers Family: Bryson-Alisa-Elliana-Kade: house hunting

So we finally got Bryson's release date from his current workplace in Cumberland City. His last day there will be June 18, and he starts in Chattanooga on June 21. We've got a lot of work ahead of us! I've been searching online pretty much all day today for a house to rent with not much luck. I think with the economy so bad everyone is wanting to rent right now, so all the rentals are taken! I sure hope we can find something soon. The good news is T.V.A. will be moving us. That's a HUGE help. They moved us to Clarksville from Tuscaloosa and that was incredibly nice. Moving is no fun and this will make our 6th move in about 4 1/2 years of marriage!!! Hopefully, this will be our next to last move ever. We'd like to try to save up a decent down payment before building a house. Once we build we plan on staying where we are.
Elliana hasn't shown any interest in even standing on her own since her first step on the 5th. Go figure. That girl is a mess. She's so much fun. I wish I could keep her as a little baby forever. She's growing up way too fast. She's so funny just to sit back and watch. Earlier today after one of her naps she was playing in the floor. She was pulling on the seat of her outdoor swing and grunting. I'm not sure what she wanted to do with it, but it was funny watching her work to pull it this way and then the other. She was concentrating on her little task so hard too. I really wonder what she's thinking sometimes. It's be neat to get into the mind of a baby don't you think?
Baby Kade has been sure to make himself known these past couple of weeks. He's really been giving some powerful kicks and punches, especially for me just to be a little past 21 weeks. He really seems to be much more active than Elliana. Elliana moved a good bit, but not like Mr. Kade! I love it. It is so reassuring for me to be able to feel him squirming around inside of me. It's one of my favorite parts of pregnancy...and trust me I don't have a lot of favorites when it comes to pregnancy! The end result is worth every bit of the backaches, swollen legs/feet, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weight gain, stretch marks, wacky hormones, sleeplessness, and heartburn! :)
Mother's Day, I almost forgot! Yes, this past weekend was my first 'official' Mother's Day and it was fantastic! Bryson was sure to make it special for me by taking me and Elliana out to eat. All of us then went down to Jenkin's Park in Trenton for a bit and just hung out. It was so nice to just relax and not be rushed. We had no where we needed to be and Bryson was even patient with me at the restaurant when it took me almost 2 hours to eat! No, I really didn't eat that much I promise. It's just that I was having some major heartburn and indigestion thanks to little Kade. I hadn't eaten much all day and it was around 2 in the afternoon so I knew I needed to eat something. It was weird, as pregnancy can be I supposed, I would be really hungry feeling one minute and then feel like I was going to pop the next. Oh well, it was still a nice time. Elliana was so good and really seemed to enjoy swinging with her daddy at the park. I'm thinking we'll have her birthday party at that park in June as well. It just reminds me of growing up. I went to a few birthday parties there when I was a kid. It holds good memories.
It's Friday and time for mine and Bryson's Friday night hot date, yea! It's the one day a week we usually splurge and eat out. It's always nice to 'go out' and do something for a little change each week because I'm definitely a home body most of the time. I just love Friday evenings! He's on his way home from work now, so I better be getting ready. Until next post...
