The Wilding name continues!

Bryler Frank Wilding was finally born last night at around 8:30 pm by c-section. It had been a very long day for Tiffany and Caleb as she went into the hospital at around 4:00 am. He weighed in at 8 lbs and 4 oz! Nice size baby - one of the biggest for our family! Tiffany's mom and sister and Caleb's mom, Brandi all came up from Utah yesterday morning. Bryan, Ali, Ryder, Tera, Tenlee, Frank and I also hung around and was in and out all day. Of course, we had to take breaks to go and eat!

Caleb was such a proud and concerned husband and daddy. There were tears all around... Caleb has always been such a loving, huggy kid so now he has someone he can really hug and kiss on all the time! Tiffany was such a good little trooper through it all. Their life has now changed forever. But I think they both welcome the change.

They moved in with Bryan and Ali last weekend so they will be going home to good hands. Bryan isn't so sure he wants to be a grandpa yet, but Ali is ready to jump in with both feet! Of course Ryder is fascinated with this new baby. And Tenlee thinks she has a new baby brother! I just can't wait to have the chance to really sit and hold him. Oh, by the way, I was the first to hold him after his parents. Kind of the great-grandma's right, I think!

We now have five generations on both the Wilding and my side alive! It's up to this little guy to keep the Wilding name going now.

We're movin' on up...

Well, we went ahead and did a lease to buy option on our home at Treyden Drive to a nice younger couple and decided to move up into the "big" house. Frank hired Caleb and another guy to help him move all of my "treasures" through out the week. Yes, we filled our big storage room and more.

On Thursday he had the tv's moved up there so of course we had to spend the night. We had the new furniture I had purchased for staging the house so we didn't have to sleep on the floor! As I wandered around that big house I started feeling the blues and went into the living room and Frank said, "I miss our home." That started the tears. I really felt out of place!

I took Friday off and Bryan brought his snowmachine trailer and about 4 guys with him and they loaded up my furniture and made pretty short work of it. Theresa and Rich came over later that afternoon with fried chicken and helped out for a few hours and we had it looking pretty good. We also had Ryder and Tenlee spending the night with us!

While we eating on Friday night our realtor called and said that a couple that had been to look at our new house wanted another showing, could we have it ready for 1:00 on Saturday? Of course! They wanted the figures on everything from insulation, tile, etc. So, we had the house all ready with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and then left to go work on our old house. To make a long story short, they didn't show but they still like the house. They have made an offer on a house that is in foreclosure and if they don't get it then they want to make an offer on our house. Even though it would be a lot of work to make the move again, we would be so happy if we could get it sold right away!

Thanks to the help of our kids we were able to get the move accomplished without any meltdowns this time! But, I am going to get rid of a lot of stuff before the next one! I promise....

If you know anyone that would like a beautiful new home please keep us in mind! The website for the virtual tour of the house is:
