Grandma's new do?

My grandma asked me to find her a new hairstyle. I honestly can't imagine her in anything than what she's always had......but this is sort of cute. Calling all those who know Wanda Greenway; what do you think?

Mya and Wyatt Swinging in a Tree

Ok, don't get the wrong idea here. I am still virtually computerless.....but Jon has brought home his laptop 2 nights in a row, so I can't help but post twice. Wyatt's face is priceless in this!

July 4th pics

Samuel cousin with a viciously red tongue! All the cousins, Jon, Wyatt and I rode the train from Wheaton to Lombard, walked around exploring, went to a teensy tinsy candy store and then hung out in a local park. We ate really great candies out of paper bags and rolled around on the grass. Simple fun.

Wyatt and Grandma. I am not responsible for the thing on his head. That was* all* Jon. I was in Texas watching my sister marry.

Fun with cousins!

Pink Carpet, no hair

It's so weird that my sister is married and moved to Hawaii. I keep thinking she will home in a few weeks. I just got used to having her back from Africa! We are in the middle of a home remodel. I feel like we should be on one of those HGTV shows. Things are just so crazy. We *thought* we would be ripping out the pink carpet, cleaning and then moving in. Um, well the floor isn't so beautiful underneath. It has huge patches of unfinished wood flooring. So strange.....and then there is linoleum, old school style, in about 500 sq ft of the house. So we are having to rethink our whole plan.........Jon got a call today from the old owner of the house. She pretty much griped him out. She could not seem to understand why in the world we would want to remove all the mirrors from the wall (one whole wall in a bedroom was mirrors and it covered over a perfectly good window????) and what was so wrong with the pink carpet that we don't want it. Hmmm......You can't help but laugh! On a happy note, here are a few pics from our Chicago trip. Oh and did I mention I cut off all my hair? Yes, I am now a pregnant pixie. :o)

Wedded 4th!!!!

My sister was married today! Yes, it was spur of the moment. In fact, I was on vacation in Chicago and took an 8 hr flight back to Texas so I wouldn't miss it. Why was it so crazy fast? Well, she got a nursing job in Hawaii and it starts this Wednesday. So now she and Josh are flying to a job and honeymoon all in one. Who can blame her right? And yes, she just got back from 4 months in Africa.

It was such a lovely, lovely wedding..... Outdoors surrounded by trees, flowers, sunshine and the people they love. The reception was in a quaint bed and breakfast and was perfect. I love you Margaret and welcome to the family, Josh, my new brother!

home at last

Lots to do before we can rest,
but we're so grateful to have closed on it finally.

On another peachy note, here's some fun pixs
we took this week at grandma and gramps...enjoy.

Our baby boy 24 weeks in the making.

Grandma's dog Panada.

Sort of

I am sooo ready to have something positive to post. I feel kind of like we're under a cloud here. Part of my problem right now is internal. I am apparently anemic and have a urinary tract infection. Hmmmm, this could be why I lack energy and personality at the moment. I am working hard on getting that part taken care of.
We are currently still living at my sweet grandparent's house. They have been more than gracious to us. Wyatt adores them and their fenced back yard. I am really loving having cable. It's been almost 2 yrs without any TV stations and I am definitely getting my fill.
We closed on our house today......sort of. Unfortunetly our bank goofed once again and forgot about a special inspection that was required for FHA loans. It was pretty bad for a while there when we showed up at the title company and they told us that we could sign the paper work but it wouldn't be "official" until the inspection. Possibly Monday?! The sellers had driven all the way from Dallas and flipped out when they were told this. They threatened to leave right then and put the house back on the market. I wanted to bawl my eyes out. I almost cried right there in front of everyone! They calmed down by the end of it even to the point of blessing us, our home and our children, but that first part was sticky. The seller was born in the house and has many memories there, so I know the day was hard on her. She wanted us to save her pink wall to wall carpet for her. We will do that. :o)
If you think of us, then please pray for us!

Guess What?

Wyatt is going to have a little brother!:o)

My little sister is in love and will be married soon. :o)

My brother and his wife + 4 kids moved in with my parents.

My husband, Wyatt and I + little baby boy have moved in with my grandparents.

I've only gained 3 lbs with this baby and I'm almost 6 months along.

Our house loan is still pending but will be resolved soon (thank you God).

I really, really, really crave mocha frappucinos from Starbucks. :o)

I have very limited internet access at the moment........

Twists of Life

The Vashey family is pretty sad right about now. We are not going to close on our house tomorrow. It takes an even worse twist. The two loan officers for Chase bank (I think the only 2 in town) quit. Yep, they quit and left Chase with about 50 active loans and refinances. I don't really blame them for quitting. I got the feeling they were being treated poorly and overworked. Jon is going to go up there and talk to the bank president in the morning. Please pray! Amy (our agent) is going to ask the people we are buying our house from if we can maybe rent it from them until the loan goes through. Maybe we can still move this weekend? Please pray! We may have to move in with my grandparents, if not. Life is so strange right now. I don't even know what to think. Actually, I'm trying not to think about it too hard and just keep praying that God will keep us calm and thankful no matter what.

Moving, moving moving

Sorry this blog has been so lame-o lately. It has to do with pregnancy and moving.....but we are finally moving! Yes!!! This weekend! They better not move our closing date again!
Other news:
I feel really good, other than moving anxiety.
My sister, Margaret, is home from Africa. She's skinny but glowing from happiness.
My brother, his wife and 4 children are moving up here from South Texas the same day we move.
Wyatt is still chubby and sweet.
Jon is an awesome husband.

Next Stop...

in Limbo

Are we moving? Supposedly our closing date is this Friday, but I have a feeling they're going to change it. I am so frustrated with this whole thing!! I am trying to stay calm but I can feel myself getting anxious. It's also hard to believe this baby is coming in 5 months. Oh my goodness!!!
