Our House

Here is our new house. It is in the process of being updated and needs lots of work, but it's a home. Please come visit us! We have space for visitors and our door is always open.
Our house is usually a little messy, so this is your warning before viewing the pictures. There is only so much time in a day and I do need a little sleep.

Settling In

We finally have begun getting things together at our house. We finally set up the computer today, so I thought it would be a good time to update everybody. I'll post pictures of the house soon, but for now we thought everbody might enjoy the crazy life of the Nolls and their little Darlings. It's still crazy we have 3 kids. I'm not quite sure how we make it through every day, but so far, so good. Since we have moved in we have npt prioritized putting things away. Chris has been doing household projects while Karissa spends most of her time writing her thesis for her Master's. There are days where we only see glimpses of the kitchen counter or carpet because cleaning has nor been a priority. There has been one day since we lived here that the table, kitchen counter, and living room have been clean. It was the day my paper was due. Karissa starts another class Tuesday, so progress will continue to be slow. So is the life with three little kiddos and a new house.
The girls turn 6 moths old March 16. They are healthy chubby babies just like Elijah. They have very distinct personalities, although sometimes they switch it up on us. Most of the time Alysah is relaxed and go with the flow, while Hannah is more demanding. In general, they are both super happy babies.
Elijah has a built in friend because the neighbors next door have a two-year-old boy. His name is Ben and they love playing together.

Giving three children a bath and doing bedtime is a major ordeal. It takes about an hour and a half from start to finish, and we are ready for bed ourselves when the day is done!!! Elijah decided he wanted to share bath time with his sisters, so we put them all in the tub. They adore each other. Both girls have this unusual licking thing. Their favorite thing to lick is the pole for their gym. Check out the distance they get. Just chillin in the swing!
