Is it time for my yearly blog post? Yikes, I am such a slacker! My excuse? Moving is hard. And it is tiring. Exhausting, actually. BUT(!) we are in our new house. The house is sufficiently cleaned with a toothbrush. Internet is working. Still no cable. I don't think a lot of people knew we were moving because we just moved across town. We were renting a house in Perry, and we loved it so much we decided to buy in Perry! We're in a 4 bed/3 bath home with a big yard and huge deck overlooking a pond. The lady who lived here had a PhD in gardening and her Mr. was a professional handy man (as evidenced by the garden, the tool shed, and all the supplies they left behind). The sellers warned us they might leave a bunch of tools. ;) It was so cool to find all the extra bonuses when we moved in. A lot of it has already come in handy. There was everything that we needed for painting, tiling, even recarpeting the stairs. You can tell that they loved this house and put in a lot of love and extra doo-hickies. Pictures (and more details) are forthcoming. Probably in my next yearly post--hah!
Kid updates:
Miley is now the big "Ocho." Such a big girl and such a beauty. Don and I are going to let her continue to be beautiful for 3 more years then we're going to put a stop to it. I'm thinking a 7 year stint of head gear, home-made clothes, and Flowbee haircuts. ;P Miley is so excited to have her own room. She has always had trouble sleeping with her sister because Ava needs a nightlight and Miley likes it pitch black--and I thought Miley only liked her sleep mask for beauty rest purposes.
Miley's favorites:
- TV show: Twilight Zone
- Food: Chili
- Activity: Read in the serenity of her own room
Isaac lost his first tooth. We dental flossed him to the front door and he slammed it with flourish! The Tooth Fairy left him 3 Sacagawea dollars and a mini Venom figurine. He was a little embarrassed to be singled out by a magical nymph like that, so later that day he took his 3 dollars and bought candy for his sisters. Such a sweety.
Ike's favorites:
- TV show: The Amazing Spiderman
- Food: Peanutbutter banana sandwiches
- Activity: Dress up and play Indiana Jones during every--waking--minute of the day
Ava is such a daddy's girl, and I don't blame her. Don is such a good dad. Their favorite thing to do on these cold winter mornings is snuggle on the couch and watch cartoons. Ava and her C.C. Seahorse are still inseparable.
Ava's favorites:
- TV show: any cartoon
- Food: spicy nachos
- Activity: snuggle
