coconutbacon, saw a news story about a horrible apt fire in the Bronx, please tell me it's not where you live.

No, I’m in Brooklyn. It’s all over the news here though— so so sad. It’s been heartbreaking to read about.

Hi. I'm folding clothes over some spiked coffee. I'll catch up here as soon as I'm done folding

How is it new years eve already??? Bring on 2018! While 2017 hasn't been terrible for the RedandBlue family, it's has been a difficult one for many people close to me. We are having a couple of people over tonight to celebrate, the last NYE in this house! We are hoping to have them eat all the damn junk food we have accumulated, as well as help to clean out our liquor cabinet! DH and I are planning to start the whole 30 again (mostly likely Jan 2 because I don't feel like heading to the store to prep today). I hope everyone is having a great day!!

[redandblue]

Betweenthelines what did you guys end up doing about your house? Did you accept the new offer? Did you find a place to move?

[redandblue]

layloo sorry to hear about your increased anxiety, but I am happy to hear you love the new house!

[redandblue]

jedi that dip looks delicious!

[redandblue]

easternshoregirl sorry your pregnancy continues to be rough. When are you due again?

[redandblue]

flippinchica so glad that you got your pretty diaper bag! How are you feeling? Aren't you due like any second?

[redandblue]

sizzleb how are you? I hope your LO arrived safely and that everyone is settling in.

[redandblue]

mrspiatt how are things with you guys? How's J doing? I think the last post I saw you mentioned some monitoring of a few things. I hope everyone is doing well and had a nice holiday. Was your DS able to make it out for a visit? What about your DSS?

[redandblue]

amichelle723 how are things with you guys? I hope you had a nice holiday in your new house!

[redandblue]

mamallama I also hope you had a great holiday in your new house!

[redandblue]

[redandblue]

Don't mind me while I talk to myself! DH just went out for a bit and I'm taking a break from cleaning/packing before M wakes up!

[redandblue]

amberlie how was your holiday? I hope you got a break from school and whatnot and were able to have some time with YH and your sweet girls!

I'm doing well, thanks for checking!

DS (Guy) was born December 14 (8lbs 1oz and 20.5 in) and the past couple of weeks have been a blur of family visiting and trying to adjust to life with 2 kids. G is a much calmer/sleepier baby than his sister was, but our nursing relationship has been trickier - he's a lazy latcher (which has been super painful for me) and is just now starting to get better. A is such a good big sister and has been really sweet with him.

PDQ, I'll delete later, but all the heart eyes for these two:

Poof!

We stayed with the original offer because the new offer came down $10k after they were told about the solar panel loan. We didn't want to make waves with an offer we knew was solid for an offer from someone we know nothing about.. for only $10k. The buyers signed the contract and sent it to our lawyer on Friday, so we're moving right along.

We still haven't found a home yet, but we have some time. I'm hoping after this weekend a lot of new listings will pop up

Omg so precious sizzleb!! Congrats!!

Did you do cheese or no cheese?

[redandblue]

sizzleb that picture is beyond adorable! Glad everyone is doing well.

[CestLaVie]

sizzleb so precious!!

We’re heading back home today instead of tomorrow, I just really want to spend a day at home lazing!!

[jedi]

I’ll be making be dip again later without cheese. Last time I added cream cheese but the party we’re going to will have dairy free guests and I want them to have something to eat.

We took the kids to an early new year's celebration at the history museum this morning, then off to a late brunch at our favorite breakfast place. Kids are all napping right now and I'm trying to find the motivation to go out and pick up some dessert for tonight. That and I want to clean my house so we start the new year off right.

Finally got a chance to move pictures from my camera to my computer so here is our family Christmas picture. PDQ
