Mommy finally has the time and energy to update the blog. Hooray! We've been so busy and Charlotte and I don't take our naps at the same time anymore. So here you go...
I picked out a rock from the old house and brought it to the new house.
We stopped at Daddy's pinning ceremony on the way out of town and I got a cool new toy (that has disappeared).
Daddy put a pin on the map to show where he's going to practice.
Mommy gave me a private tour of our new house after she signed all the paperwork. She told me that the final walk through was crazy. She found a feral cat in a drawer in the garage and the basement carpet was wet from an exploded water heater. Everything has been taken care of since.
There's a pirate ship in our basement. It rocks.
Mommy returned to the old house and left me in the care of family for the remainder of the move. Here's what my room looked like all packed up. Charlotte borrowed my bed for a couple of nights so it didn't get packed until the last minute.
The last minute.
Daddy and Mommy went to a party the night before all my toys arrived at the new house. Mommy had to say goodbye to Jamie. We miss her (and Matthew and F & H).
Daddy came for a day during that first weekend and we did a party night in the new house. I surprised them by eating some of Mommy's messy spaghetti.
Fazoli's food is tasty.
Grandpa came and helped put me to bed every night that Daddy wasn't around to help. Mommy would have been much more stressed out without
everyone's help. Nana and Papa came to the rescue a couple of days and Grandma came too. Mommy got some unpacking done and even got to put her feet up here and there.
Our gazebo is fun to play in. It's like a big playhouse. There was a wasp in there one morning so Grandma and Mommy made me leave quickly. I thought bugs were nice, but I guess not all bugs are nice.
For some reason my parents are having a hard time doing the unpacking.
I've enjoyed using my old toys.
They don't fit like they used to.
Leif, Milo, and Emily came over to play on Friday. We did sidewalk chalk in the garage because it was raining. It's been doing a lot of that.
I was so happy to see my daddy that I didn't want to pause to pose for the camera. I hadn't seen him for almost a week.
Daddy made Mommy a margarita. She earned it from all of her hard work while he was finishing up his residency (and living it up at Great Aunt Shirley's house).
It's been storming a bunch. It's fun watching the storm clouds roll in from our deck.
We went over to Nana and Papa's house for Father's Day and I loved my food. We had homemade ice cream for dessert.
Mommy tricked me into smiling for the camera. The cheesy grin phase only lasted a couple of weeks and now I'm back to not enjoying getting my picture taken.
We went to Chen Garden tonight and had Chinese buffet. I loved the chicken, fish, pears, and fried rice with soy sauce. My parents were amazed by all that I ate and how wonderful I acted. Charlotte was good too. I've been a love bug lately (for the most part). I'm so much happier now that we're settling in to our new house and I LOVE seeing the rest of the family so often.
Bubba loves the new house too. He finally has the yard he deserves.
See?!
We went to get smoothies the other night and they were tasty.
We went to the Blanden Art Museum on Saturday morning for the kids' art day. There were a lot of people there and lots of fun things to do and see. The balloon artist had quite the line of people.
A few of my cousins showed up and I gave Anya a big hug.
Leif and I really liked the statue with the baby butt. I had to point it out to him.
I did some painting. I didn't like it when my hand got messy so the painting didn't last that long.
I decorated a hat too.
Leif's painting was a little more colorful.
He even stopped to look at the camera for a second. Strong work.
Anya got more than she bargained for from the balloon artist.
Awesome!
Milo had Sonic the Hedgehog for his balloon masterpiece.
After the museum (and a nap), we did bubbles at Grandpa and Grandma's house. First, you dip the big wand in the bucket.
Then you very nicely ask Grandpa to make some bubbles.
Yay! Those are some huge bubbles.
I also tried out the new trike at G & G's house. I'm tough.
Grandma had me over on Monday and then some of my cousins came over for a bit. I'm at Nana and Papa's today. Mommy gets us to herself for a couple of days and then more cousins are coming to play. We're loving all the helpers and I'm loving all the fun people. Life is good.
