Can There Be Too Many Onsies?

Last weekend, before Zach went to Wisconsin, a large tote of just size 6-12month clothes was found.  This find comes just days after I packed away nearly three full boxes of 3-6 month Toben clothes.  I had a few days where I thought, "Toben doesn't have enough clothes"!  I ordered three onsies and one two piece pajama set for my gettin-big-baby from carters.com.  (The package came with Toben's name on it, too cute)


Like I said a few days later we found 26, I repeat/retype 26 onsies that can now fit my spoiled child.  So what did I do?  Hung them up in the closet of course by color like any average crazy mom.  :)  Baby clothes are so much fun!

All We Need is Love... and 10% Down

Every two weeks Zach, Toben and I are a few hundred dollars closer to our 'Home Sweet Home.'  It is so awesome to know that out there, somewhere in that flat state of Ohio is a house and a yard with grass and a mailbox just waiting for us to come and say, "Well take it."

Over the last few months I have literally become an expert with the remax.com site.  I probably know more about the demographics of Ohio then the residents.  Within the next two or three months, one lucky Ohio community will be graced by the Weyants from Newville PA.

I know it is a bit early for goodbyes, but I have been thinking lately about what I will miss when we move.  I will surely miss the familiar Sheetz gas station at Ritner and 495.  No Walmart is the same as our Carlisle Walmart at midnight.  I will miss seeing my Mom every week and Tina, Jeff, and Lars everyday.  I think the thing I will miss most of all, like that I will think of daily, would be the mountains.  We have beautiful mountains here in Central PA that surround our small towns like a big earth hug.  Good luck to our soon-to-be Ohio home as it attempts to live up to that!  Well they do have baskets the size of hotels in Ohio, so that is a good start I guess.

Sweden is Far Far Away

Well, Zach has a new job with DeLaval that he started in the beginning of February.  He likes his jobs as a Voluntary Milking System Specialist (VMS), the only down side is he travels a lot!  He has been away at least six full weeks since he started.  Last week, and this coming week, he will be in Tumba, Sweden.


Six weeks, in the scheme of a six month old's life, is a fairly big chunk of time.  (Thank goodness for skype)  Toben has grown so much in these last three months and unfortunately, Zach has missed about half of it because of the travel.

The plan is for me to be able to stay home with Toben ASAP.  Whenever Zach travels in the future, Toben and I can decide if we would like to go too.  Our little family unit can be together enjoying all the little moments in life.  Like, waking up with a smile, singing all the silly baby songs, listening to the new sounds Toben makes, walking outside after dinner, and giving kisses goodnight.  I cannot wait to be all together again, and in our own home.
