Our new furniture!

Really need to start hanging pictures on the walls! The lamp and pillows have floral designs on them. I got the pillows at Kirkland's because I didn't care for the pillows the couch came with.

A couple weeks before we moved we went couch shopping. We looked at 3 furniture stores and finally found a couch we liked! The store had great prices and we ended up getting a couch, love seat, coffee table, 2 end tables, and 2 lamps. The furniture was delivered Tuesday! We are really enjoying having somewhere to sit upstairs. After we bought it we had looked at so much that everything was kind of running together. I couldn't exactly remember what it looked like...once it was delivered we were so pleased with what we had picked out!

Life is so busy I haven't had much time for blogging. I gave up TV months ago. Can't wait for summer! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on Grey's and Desperate Housewives.

Mother's Day Picture

Me, Mom, and Cara on Mother's Day!

My 8 month old!

Tyler is 8 months old today! He is doing great! He loves to eat- I haven't found a baby fruit or veggie that he doesn't like. He is eating stage 2 foods. He likes rice and oatmeal cereal. Tonight he ate 2 things of food for dinner! He is a piggie. Not that you can't tell that from all of his rolls already :) . He is sitting up well and loves to play with toys. He thinks is big brothers are totally awesome and loves to watch what they are doing. He laughs a lot and is the sweetest thing ever. At his appointment today at CCH for his glaucoma check-up we got all good news! No changes to his eye. Andy ventured to CCH on his own with Ty because I couldn't take a day without pay. Holly came over to keep Wilson and Luke (who had a GREAT day!). Apparently opthamology and dermatology are having a difference of opinion. Last time at CCH we were told glaucoma testing every 3-4 months. Today Dr. Y said he really doesn't think he needs to see him more than twice a year, every 6 months. So we'll just keep going to CCH for those. When I thought we'd be testing every 3-4 months I wanted to do it here. But now we're just going to keep them at CCH. Upcoming appointments:
June- neurology
August- Hemangioma/Vascular Unit (birth mark)
November- opthamology
Tyler is perfect and such a sweet and happy baby boy! We love you Tyler Wade!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! We celebrated Friday night as a family. I chose to eat at Red Robin since we'd never tried been there. It was fun! Then we went to Lowe's and picked out a new stove and hood. On Saturday Andy installed the new stove and hood and I used it to make dinner- chicken enchiladas. I'll have to share that recipe -it's one of our favorites. I love the new stove! I've been wanting a new stove for a couple years. I finally have a smooth top stove! Last night I was reading the owner's manual in bed to learn how to take care of the top. Today I made oven roasted veggies for our mother's day cookout at my sister's and muffins for my mom. So I've definitely broken it in this weekend. We had a great evening at Cara and Jason's and a delicious dinner. Andy just did all of bathtime with the big boys so I got a night off from helping with that. It's been a nice mother's day! Here is a picture of my new stove. I owe Andy some chocolate chip cookies for installing this now!!

Picture Post

This weekend the boys have had a great time playing with the neighbors. They played with several neighbors on both Saturday and Sunday afternoon. It is so nice to have kids for them to play with on our street! Definitely not something we are used to. Here are some cute pics of the boys taken at our new house!

Starting to feel like home...

We are finally feeling a little bit more settled into our new home. We're continuing to meet neighbors, unpack boxes, and get used to the house. We have ant poison placed as recommended by Cara and Jenn. The upstairs is done except for the living room- our furniture should be arrive in about 2 weeks. So right now the LR is filled with broken down boxes and stuff for the china cabinet. The basement is still a big mess and the garage is a whole different story! I'm hoping Andy can get the washer/dryer hooked up tomorrow so I can do lots o' laundry this weekend to catch up. We'll keep working on the basement a little at a time. I did not realize how hard it would be to adjust to a new home that doesn't feel like home! Thankfully things are getting better. I have lots of pictures to share of the boys in our new house. That will have to happen this weekend. I'm exhausted after a field trip to the zoo with the 2nd graders! Gotta go to bed so I can be ready for 2 more days of school this week! Next year the zoo needs to be on a Friday...!
*Ty goes to CCH on Tuesday for another glaucoma test.

New House

We love our new house! It feels like a mansion. The moving went well and un fortunately we were out of our old house not a minute before we had to be...midnight Friday. Moving took a long time! Andy and Uncle Bill went back at 11 to do a little cleaning for the new owners so it didn't look awful. We've done a lot of unpacking... I would post a picture of the living room filled with empty boxes but at this point that is too much effort! The boys bedrooms are unpacked as is the kitchen. There is plenty left to do. We keep finding things we want to fix or update but the main annoyance is the ants. We keep finding ants in the house. We're going to have to call a bug man. The first two nights in the new house have been great! We made it to Wilson's t-ball game yesterday afternoon and made it to church this morning. It's great having a double driveway to park both cars in. Everyone is doing well with the move except Lottie. She has a torn ACL (I think) and now that we live in a house with stairs it seems to really be hurting her leg. Poor thing. Other than that she is doing well. Off to unpack!
