Reminiscing

I was looking through some pictures today and ran across some of our weekly "girls night" that we had in Washington somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. What a wonderful weekly ritual. Oh how I miss you girls! Have a girls night for me ok?

Progress

I have been ever so painstakingly making progress on the house. Devin's room is pretty much done until we decide on paint colors. Phew! Sorry about the poor picture quality; apparently I am having technical difficulties this afternoon.

Moving Day:

Today:

Notice that she has two valances? Well in our old house we hadall the valance on the top and then we had a half curtain on bottom. Obviously this window is half the size of our old one so we have to wait and get the bottom piece fitted.

When Daddy's do hair...

you get adorable pictures like these:



Just had to share =)

And on a side note...Devin's hair is now long enough to get it up in a ponytail! Not that it stays for long, but it's so grown up.

Mommy Mobile

We finally gave in this weekend and got rid of our two door GTI for a more practical four door. *Sniff* *Sniff* Some of you will appreciate how hard this was for us. If you know Dave, then you also know that the GTI is one of his dream cars. We didn't make this decision lightly...it has been in the making for about 18 months now if not longer.

On one hand I'm so excited! No more climbing in the back and breaking my back to get Devin in her seat. Now I just open the door and voila done. But of course on the other hand we were both sad to see a car that we both loved go. Too bad we can't afford both or we would have arranged it so we could keep them both.

Saturday morning:

Saturday night:

Sarah you are not alone!!!

Our toddler

It can't be denied any longer. Our Devin is a full-fledged toddler. She is so much fun at this age! It's hard to believe that she is almost a year and a half old. Every day with her is a joy...yes, even the trying times. What a blessing she is to us. These beautiful pictures speak for themselves.

Too much

Ok, so I decided it was too much to try and go all the way back to the end of January to catch you up. So here's the short version. Our drive across country went really well. We had no car problems, and Devin did wonderfully! It took us four days to get from Washington to Arkansas. After a couple of weeks of looking we found a house. We finally closed on it a little over a week ago and our now trying to get settled. We like Arkansas so far. I hope we get to stay here for a few years. =)
What our trip was like...

Our new house...

Stay tuned~more to come later

Catching Up

I have so much to catch up on. But not tonight. I'm exhausted and heading to bed. I just wanted to let you know that soon I'll be out here posting away, putting up pictures and hopefully not boring you to tears.
