Life continues

We are still unpacking and settling in, but life is moving on. We were blessed to have Toni come spend the weekend. It was a little like going home as I provided a basement room to sleep in, piles to wade through, etc. Jill, Justin, and Katie were able to come hang out, as well. We had a good time and the weather was gorgeous. Today, everything is rainy and wet, but that is fine, as I need to spend a day working on piles. I am getting a little tired of digging in boxes to find everything. Also, I almost have the yard all raked. After no one taking care of the grass and leaves(we have 4 maple trees out front), things needed a bit of attention. We are truly blessed and are enjoying life.

We are here!

Well, we finally closed and moved into our new house in a whirlwind. I had envisioned this move as taking a week to 10 days to complete and having it be so organized. Yeah, right. We closed on late Monday afternoon, didn't get a key til Tuesday afternoon, and were completely out by Wednesday 3pm. I had to take a couple of days to recover, but now we are going strong. We still don't have a phone and won't for a little while as it is an electrical problem involving some chewed wire. Anyway, as we get a little bit more settled, I'll keep you posted.

Still waiting

For those patiently waiting, no, we haven't closed yet. It should be any day now. Linay is waiting for more teeth to come in and the rest of the bunch are waiting for Spring Break and Easter. It seems as if we are all waiting for something. This means that you will have to keep waiting for updates.

March

It has been a while since I last did this, so I decided to do a quick update. Late in January, early February, the stars aligned and things just fell into place for us to buy a house. We will close at the end of this month. Our new house is at the end of our block so we won't have to go through major changes in our routine.

Butt scooter

No, I haven't invented a new mode of transportation. For those of you who were around when Ainsley was a baby, you'll know what I am talking about. Well, Linay has reached the 9 month mark and we have been anticipating her crawling any day.......trouble is she has learned to scoot on her butt first. I vowed not to have a repeat of Ainsley because it is just too weird.....but I might be fighting a loosing battle. There is hope she'll do both because she is so close to crawling. I'll keep you updated.

Here are some pictures from the last little while. The days are flying by too fast so I figured something was better than nothing.

Our budding pianist

Emma began piano in September. As you can see from this video she is doing great and has surpassed my skills already. Thank heavens for her talented doting teacher! It is nice to have such music in the house.
