where have we been?

We are officially into our new home now!! YEAH! We love it more and more each day. We are almost done unpacking. There are still a few boxes here and there, and some re-arranging to do, but it is very livable now.

We had a few set backs moving in. We had hired a guy to refinish the wood floors, but he was very unreliable and we ended up firing him. Thus pushing back the move in date, and not allowing us to have the floors done this summer. We will pursue other options next summer. We did have the kitchen, bathroom and mudroom floors done and they look amazing.

Hannah finally got to play with the girl next door yesterday. (the parents recently divorced and the kids are only over at their Dad's once a week) They spent the afternoon playing in the pool and shooting the water gun at various objects all over the yard. It is nice that they are both screamers...I was able to get some stuff done in the house and know that they were still outside!!

I am sure there are more updates you'd like to hear about, but I am cramped for time and need to do a few more things. We don't have internet at the house, so if you need us please call first, and e-mail second.
I'll leave you with a quote of the week by Hannah:

"I hate our apartment"...I think she likes the new house:)

what a day

Today we got our new fridge and dishwasher. They are pretty cool! We went with black to match the red and white we are putting on the walls. We have come a long way with the house. I am so excited to show you all the pictures once we move and get our other computer set up. All we need to do now to move in is finish painting the bathroom and kitchen areas. Monday we are having the wood floors refinished and at the end of the week we will have the other floors replaced and we will be able to move in then!! Yeah. We are very ready to move. Feel free to stop by and see the progress. Just call us and we can meet you. There is also an amazing park with a track around it on the next street over! Hannah loves it and asks me to take her there every time we are at the house. We will go tomorrow after the AC guy comes.

Last night my wallet was stolen, so today has been pretty hectic making all the calls to get everything canceled and ect. We left the diaper bag in the parking lot at our friends house after home group. My poor friend found it in her dumpster this morning and called me. The weird thing about it is that they opened the bag and just took the wallet. They left the $100 gift card to Target, the $400 camera, and a few other items that would make a good price if resold...I just don't get it. There was NO cash in it...

Calvin has pulled up to a standing position the last 2 days. Just in his bed b.c he doesn't want to be left in there by himself. He has been screaming then standing up and that's how we find him. Why is it so hard to let your second child scream to sleep? Hannah was a great sleeper...that is until she was 17 months and refused to stay in her bed(make the memories stop!!).
