more pictures

The same weekend we moved was my brother's Iowa wedding open house. Here are some pics of the happy couple. They are a super awesome couple. They helped us move into our home just days before the open house. Thanks, you two!

Lauren & Mark

Addie and Grandma at the open house.

I've had Addie's chair on the floor the last couple of days because I haven't had a place to put it at the table. The last few days Tyler has decided to join her there.

Addie's personal space. She's trying to climb out here because she saw the camera. But I have actually caught her inside just sitting there.

Trying to get the kids to sleep in their own beds has been slightly difficult this week with the move and all. Dallin found us like this Saturday morning.

pictures...finally!!!

Here are the much anticipated pictures of our new house! Mind you, I took these pictures the day we moved in so things were not absolutely perfect!

connected to the outside world

We're here! Our move went smoothly, and we have settled in nicely in our new home. I love living in a house..finally! It still feels like we're just on vacation in someone elses home, but the more we unpack and set up rooms the more it feels like ours. We got internet and phone yesterday -- it was supposed to happen Monday -- the cable guy swears he came and no one answered the door. I don't buy his story, and after yesterday he knows I don't buy his story. Anywho. We are finally connected to the outside world! We bought our first washer and dryer yesterday Wednesday night. They will arrive tomorrow afternoon! I'm so glad because we are running out of clean clothes! I'm hoping to get on tomorrow and finally get some pictures posted! It's been forever since I've done that.

in progress

We're still waiting for our loan to clear the bank, but that should happen any day now. Dallin leaves for Fort Dodge this Sunday. We won't see him until we move out there -- and working that out is proving harder than we expected! Hopefully, we'll get it all worked out. I'll keep you updated.
