Everything BUT Walking!

More Moving Day Pics

Here Judah & Silas are munching on fruit as the ladies prepare to feed the hungry movers for lunch...
Now, what could be so entertaining?
Uncle Daryl with the grill!
The truck is coming! The truck is coming! (repeat that about 20 times with excitement building with each repetition , and you'll get the picture)
Here's our free advertising for Budget...
Bud & Uncle Mike, the faithful directing crew... (notice how far Duane is up the hill to get just the right position in our driveway for unloading)

What a man! :-)
Kelly was the other part to the directing crew, stopping Duane just millimeters from the garage...
Two fascinated boys...
And the unloading begins... (we never thought we had much furniture until we had to move! Thanks, everyone!)

One big truck. One little boy.
Are we going up or down?
Coming around the overgrown shrubbery to the front steps... (Dan B. & Phil)
Pretty excited little boy who got away with getting filthy again!

Just hanging out, watching all the grown-ups sweat!

Kelly & Kezzie... Kelly won the respect of all for putting in a man's worth of lifting!

Cookies, anyone? Al kept us all quite fed...

Thanks again to everyone who helped on moving day and before and after. We feel moved in, not quite settled yet, but very, very grateful.

Friends!

More pictures are coming from our moving day, but we just want to 'let the world know' that we have great friends! So many people have done so much for us over the past few weeks- cleaning, babysitting, and moving. THANK-YOU!

Just 2 pictures (with more to come): here's Bud building us a great landing and stairs in our new garage... Thanks, Bud!

And here's Selah, Judah, Kezia & Isaiah... (try saying that really fast as a tongue twister)!

Cousins!

Last week we had Jacob & Helena for a whole day while their parents packed boxes for their move. Isaiah was quite intrigued with Lena...

...and this was at the end of the day(Lena didn't appreciate all those boys' feet surrounding her).

Siblings!

Ring-around-a-rosie...

...all fall down!

Finally...

OK, so I'm finally writing about it... We're moving, we're excited... and we're tired!

And we're thankful for our new home!

Below are some shots taken over the last few months...Our new property is very hilly- here we are waiting for Daddy to come...
In the winter time we went sledding down this hill, and since the kids had so much fun, they like to try it even in the grass... (but it's hard work)
But mowing is not fun, especially with a small push mower!!! We learned quickly that we either buy a new mower or Duane goes to the chiropractor every week for his wrists!
This little boy will stay occupied for a LONG time with just standing or kneeling next to the blower or lawn mower. Talk about fascination! (yes, it is turned off!)
And this little girl LOVES our new central vacuum system. Quite convenient for me!
This shot is from when my parents were here, and Isaiah was 'helping' my Mom bake in our new kitchen...
Not many hours spent at the house and my Dad already fixing something!
Love our new wallpaper? Don't worry, some day we'll paint it. Here we are enjoying a steak dinner with my parents (has that already been 3 weeks ago?!).
No more pink bath tub shots! Now it's hunter green!

One little boy showing off the new stairs (pink stairs)...

Lovely, lovely wallpaper in our new master bedroom (this room will be our first painting project- I'm not sure we can sleep with dozens of pheasants gazing at us:-))...

And here's a shot of one of my favorite attractions to the house...

So, please stop by and visit. And a special thanks to the group of friends who spent a morning scrubbing our new house, making it a home.
