It's Official!

We're all moved in!  I'm sad to report that I took almost NO pictures of the process (and it was a process!) but if you want proof it's in the emptiness of our old house:( and all over the new one in the form of boxes!  Ryan's parents came for the weekend and after 3 days of hard labor were ready for that drive back to Mississippi for sure!  Our new house has lots of stairs...just ask Mike and Ryan.  I did manage to snap a few pictures on Saturday morning before Molly went over to Becky and Hershell's for the day (THANK YOU!).

Like Pop, like granddaughter:)
I know this picture is about the same but I love them both so much so I had to share!

 Molly got some time in the truck before it was packed up again:
 Then Daddy and Pop did what daddies and pops do:
Those are seriously the only pictures I took all weekend.  Which means there's no record of all the vacuuming, sweeping, stair-climbing (oh, the stair climbing), bathroom scrubbing, shelf-papering, and zero record of the great ketchup explosion (which I may or may not elaborate on...).  And did I mention the thunder and lightening?  There was plenty of that as well.  One thing I know for sure...we couldn't have done it without Mike and Sandra (or without Karma's peanut butter bars) but now I don't know if they'll ever come back after what we put them through!  But we have a secret weapon.  Her name is Molly and no one can resist!  And here she is "brush, brush, brushing her teeth for bedtime" in her new bathroom with her Abby Cadabby toothpaste:
She's super stoked about the new house.  Especially the stairs.  She's never been around many stairs plus she's getting really good at climbing.  With those novelties combined...watch out Captain Planet!  So that's all for now.  Although there aren't many pictures thus far, rest assured there will be.  I'll be stuck (in a good way) in this house fixing things up forever and ever (which I love).  There will be pictures.  Thank you to everyone for your well wishes in our new home and for all the help from our family and friends.

  1. Congratulations!!! That is so exciting! I am anxious to see your new ginormous house. :) Molly will be an expert climber before long...watch out! I am happy for you guys and am thankful that God has given you this amazing new blessing! (p.s. the Abby Cadabby toothpaste is Gracie's fave - she says "Mom! brush teeth peeeeease!").
