Packing and moving was a little crazy with three kids... but we are SO grateful for the help we got from family and friends, and SO grateful for the larger house we get to live in now for not much more money. We're paying $1075/month for a 3br 1.5ba 1200 sq ft duplex with an attached garage. That is unheard of in our area. For example, there's a 2 br 1.5 ba unit down the street that just went up for rent for $1300/month. Wow!!!! We are so blessed. Our landlords are a really nice older Jewish couple, and our neighbors are nice too. :)
Our family is in a Little Blue Truck book! Haha... well, Miles is a little more grown up.
Building an airplane together.
Walk time! Not much summer weather left.
Her top two teeth are getting wiggly. I wanted some cute pics of her baby teeth smile before it's gone!
Chubby baby. He's seriously a big boy, and so sweet.
Whoa!
He's starting to like sitting up, and of course drooling all over too. Time to bust out the bibs.
Cutie pie. I love his smile.
Playing flags in our old back yard.
And one last bath in our old bath tub. I stuck Miles in there for the first time and they all had fun!
Reading my Bible. (Don't tell her, but we're getting her a real one for Christmas. She'll love it.)
Beautiful baby smile!
Sister's at school, so now there's some peace and quiet time to look at tractors.
Reid took this picture, so cute. <3
I put Miles on the couch by Reid for a minute while he was watching a little show and they held hands. Best brothers.
Ruby's doing SO good on her bike without training wheels!
Reid's version of packing. One layer of cars and trucks. Hahaha
He's having fun.
Grandpa's on kid duty! My parents came up for the weekend to help us move, and it was SO nice to have their help!!! We couldn't have done it without them. Friday we got everything packed up as much as possible.
Miles in his heirloom bassinet with his new blanket made by Grandma Debbie.
Sitting up! He still falls over a lot though.
We got the keys for our new house on Friday afternoon, right after the new carpet came in! So we went over and cleaned up a bit before moving started on Saturday morning.
Friday evening with the Grandmas.
Moving Day!! The kids were helpful, or at least not too much in the way. :)
They had fun.
And Grandma Debbie watched all three of them while I did some major unpacking in the new kitchen.
Enjoying some cookies Reid and I made for the moving crew. Then we had pizza too.
The kids love their new bedroom. It's nice to not have to do bunk beds and still have a lot of room!
Sunday morning Andy and I went back to our old house to clean, clean, clean. Samantha came to the back door one last time for some nuts. We will miss her!
And a picture in front of our old house with our little family. <3
In the midst of all of the chaos Miles turned 5 months old! He's getting so big. He has two teeth, he's over 17 pounds, and wearing 9 month clothes. He sleeps terribly, but he makes up for it with lots of smiles and laughs.
Reading in their new room.
Best brothers.
Miles loves Daddy! And is cute in his diaper. His umbilical hernia is way better now and barely sticks out at all.
Sleepy guy at nap time.
He found his feet and loves to chew on them while he gets changed.
Thanks for posting these!! I can't wait to see all of you and your more settled home in November!! Would you send me the picture of me and Miles? in the Ergo? I actually had an Ergo type carry thing that my mom made me. I wish I still had it to show you!! It was pretty cool. Glad Miles' umbilical hernia is way better. Love you!!
