And what a crazy 2 weeks it's been....

To all of you who've been pestering me to get with the program, here you go!! To say the VERY least, since my last post, our lives have been a whirlwind. We finally moved into our beautiful new home 2 weeks ago today. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Unfortunately an ill-timed flu virus decided to strike our family at just the right time. As we were moving out, the germs were moving in. Two weeks later and some of us are STILL sick. Has anyone ever tried moving 3 sick children from one house to the other and kept their sanity? YES! Because I did it! (My husband would probably disagree...)
All to say, we LOVE!!!!! our new house. Thanks to my handy dandy dad, most of our projects are done and we feel pretty well moved in. I even felt well enough to throw Emmy a small 5th birthday party. At which she proceeded to kill us all with cuteness, seriously... it was off the charts. Both Jason and I have said we've never felt quite so at home in a house so quickly and loved a house quite so much. It isn't a mansion, but it sure seems to fit our little family perfectly. I will do my best to post some pictures as soon as I can. Knowing my track record with this sort of thing, though, it may be later than sooner...
Thanks to all of you who've been praying for us all to get healthy; we've needed it!
If you're even in town, give us a call and stop in!! We'd love to see you.
Here are a few pictures from the last 2 weeks.....

Our first meal at our new table. This is in our dinette off of the kitchen. It's great!

I had so much fun Sat. The whole day was special. The kids were so cute and sweet and I enjoyed my time with you and J too! I'm looking forward to my babysitting weekend in March. The house is awesome. You do such a neat job decorating, as usual. Hugs and Kisses!

I can't believe Emmy is five years old! WOW! She is gorgeous. I am sorry to hear that you all were sick while moving. Two of our moves we had sick kids. What is up with that? Well, I am glad you made it and the house does look fabulous. :-)

One word - PRECIOUS! What beautiful little blessings you have! How cute! You are my hero ... one little one with the flu and no house moving was bad enough! We're excited for you and are hoping that you can get some rest and enjoy your new house!

She is so beautiful! We just had Ellie's 4th birthday party and I can't believe how fast it's gone. Sometimes I count from the year she was born just to make sure she's really as old as she is!
