Be Back Tomorrow

Hi everyone! We just got internet up and running at the new house! I exhausted and about to go to bed, but I'm back to the daily blog tomorrow! Sorry for the absence! Check in tomorrow.

Moving Day 2

Well, we survived Day 2. No pictures today. The daddy wouldn't let me stop long enough to take any! He was determined to get this all done today. We didn't. But we did manage to get Baby Girl all set up in her new room. She's restless but will adjust in a few days. She is used to sleeping in different places with all the traveling we do. Tomorrow we have to pack up the kitchen, turn in the Uhaul truck, start unpacking, and get rid of the wasp's nest (from which 2 wasps stung the daddy and AC laughed harder than she has in her life at her daddy screaming and running through the yard). Happy Friday everyone!

Moving Day 1

It's been a long day. We've just settled back in at the rental house for one more night. Daddy got a jump on things early this morning. By 7 pm, he and his friends had moved just about all the heavy stuff. We still have quite a bit left, but tomorrow should get it. The good news is it was a cool 85 degrees today and NO rain!!!!! Here are few pictures of the day.

Happy girl on the way to Uhaul!

For every book I put in the tub, she took at least 2 back out and stacked them up.

Needless to say, we gave up on the books after a few minutes!

A quick shot of the new house! More to come soon!

Goodnight all! We're exhausted. We love you all!

Playing Dress Up

We are officially homeowners again! We start moving tomorrow. Wish us luck! In other news, our girl is fascinated with her mom and dad's clothes and shoes. Last night she tried wearing Daddy's shoes, and this morning she begged me to put my shirt on her. It was pretty funny!

Aside from playing dress up, she has been quite a handful today. The transition from 2 naps to 1 nap isn't going smoothly, just as my book stated. She was pretty cranky all morning. The house closing was at 3:00, and she was excited to get out of the house and see our realtor, Melissa, who she adores. This happiness only lasted about half an hour and she became grumpy once more. I just pray she cooperates the next few days so that we all don't lose our minds!

The Beginning of a Busy Weekend

We close on our new house tomorrow! I can't believe we are moving again! This will be the 5th time we have moved since we were married 4 years ago. Here is how it goes: Moved to Georgetown, moved to Nicholasville, moved to Meade Co., moved to our rental house, and moving to our new house this weekend. To say that I'm dreading the entire process would be an extreme understatement. The fact that it is still close to 100 degrees here and it pours rain almost everyday this time of year (monsoon season) makes me cringe at the thought of hauling all of our belongings across 4 cities. And this time we don't have Bob! He's a moving machine!! We couldn't have done it without him last time. We love you Uncle Bob!

Because tomorrow is closing, we did a final walk-through today. It was SOOOO clean, which I'm thrilled about!! We had lunch with Daddy afterwards. A 2 year-old girl sat in the booth behind us and she and AC had fun trading sugar packets. She was not very enthusiastic about pausing for a picture with her mama.

Then we ran to the outlet mall (which just happens to be about 2 miles from our new house...woohoo!) to pick up a little birthday treat for our sweet friend Christian. He turns 2 this weekend and we are sad that we have to miss his party. AC spent the rest of the afternoon just playing with her toys and a stray pink highlighter apparently.

Recently she has started to try to comb her own hair, use q-tips in her own ears, put on her own shoes, etc. I'm guessing that maybe she mistook the highlighter for a q-tip! Who knows?!? Last night I found my ipod covered in orange crayon! Maybe I should stock up on Magic Erasers for the new house!

The next few days will be very hectic, and it is possible that we may have a lapse in internet service, so I'll apologize now if I don't get a chance to update you all! I promise to catch you up once we get settled! We love and miss you all!

Sneaky Girl

I realized today that Baby Girl is capable of much more than I assumed. At about 1:30, I quickly went to the garage to put a load of laundry in the dryer. In south Florida, it is very rare for a washer and dryer to be inside the house. The garage isn't that far from the kitchen as this is a small house. But it must have been far enough. When I came back to the kitchen, this what I saw.

The dishwasher door was shut, or at least I thought it was. She must have reached in from the side and pulled it open. Then, as you can see, she crawled right on up there and started pulling out the silverware. I guess it is time I start looking for a way to baby proof the appliances!!

I think we may go to Toys R Us and buy a new toy tomorrow. It seems she needs something to keep her from getting bored! We love and miss you! Oh, and have fun in Arizona, Mamaw and Papaw!!

Rainy Day

It rained pretty much all day. We went to church and that was it. Everyone took a long nap, had lunch, watched some football, and did laundry. Boring, but nice at the same time.

A quick pic before church

AC's favorite thing to do these days. I'm not sure G feels the same.
