Hello Michigan! Yes, we are here!

Sorry for so much time between posts! Needless to say, moving a thousand miles away took a lot out of all us! Just know that we are loving it here and couldn't be happier. Well, I wish my commute were shorter but all in all, if that's the worst thing to complain about then I don't really have much to complain about! :)

Here are some pictures over the past month. Good times! Enjoy!

Daddy doing "Super Baby" with both kids! Reminds me of a picture of me and brother sitting on my dad's arms and legs. I'll have to find that picture and post it next to this one! This was taken at Aunt Ila and Uncle Butch's house.

Grandma, Grandpa and sleeping beauty... :)

"shhhno man" as Cade says...

play time with Grandma

Cade rode the 4-wheeler with Uncle Butch

And he and daddy got pulled on a sled behind the 4-wheeler too!

Alright, sorry, this picture was just too cute not to post! This dining set we have since moved into the kitchen. Our new set arrives this Saturday!

Dylan likes looking outside... me too!

another cute baby pic

I took these pictures right after I got home from my work trip to Florida a few weeks ago. It was such a beautiful day. I had to take some pictures! So far, this was the most snow we've gotten at one time. I think it was maybe 4 inches or so.

Hello Mr. Squirrel!

This is the view off our deck.

I just thought these were pretty as a postcard. I would have gone outside and taken a picture from the outside looking at our house, but it's much easier to take pictures from inside the toasty house! Ha!!!

Okay, that's it for now. Again, sorry for the delay! Everyone is doing fine and has adjusted well. Me and the kids have colds right now but other than that, we are well. Enjoy your weekend and I'll try and do a better job of posting more often! :)

Happy Belated Halloween Everyone! Yesterday was a whirlwind here. We rented a Uhaul truck to bring everything back to the house that we had put in storage (due to selling the house). Doyle agreed to park the GTO in the driveway so we could unload the truck directly into the garage. Of course Cade wanted to "help dadda". So I tried to find small light weight things he could carry into the garage. So he really felt like he helped his dadda. :)

Then I dropped Kit off at PetSmart to get all groomed and ready for the drive up to Michigan. The name of the spa package is "Defurberator". How funny is that? Then I came back home and we hurried to get the kids into their Halloween costumes. I snapped just a few pictures and we headed to the neighbors to show them off. It was so hot out last night. So I just took Dylan to one neighbors house and then back home. She was just too hot in her costume. So she stayed home with Dadda while Cade and I went trick-or-treating.

Cade was very particular about which house he would actually go up too. He definitely didn't want to have anything to do with houses that had scary decorations up or even decorative lights outside. He stuck with the plain old front door light on. He was too funny! I would knock on the door and he would say "trick-or-treat" but that was before any one had time to open the door. Then all he would do was just stand there and not say a word! I would say thank you and happy Halloween and when we turned to walkaway and they would close their door, Cade would then blurt out "Happy Halloween!" He was too funny! One guy was really loud and outrageous and I thought for sure Cade was going to lose it but he just ended up laughing and smiling. Still wouldn't say anything but at least he acknowledged someone was talking to him. After maybe hitting 10 houses Cade was pretty exhausted. He said he wanted to go see his Dadda. So home we went.

Doyle then went to pick Kit up. He had been at the groomers for almost 4 hours. He came home all shiny and clean! It seriously looked like he had dropped about 20 pounds... 20 pounds of hair that is! So this morning I dropped both Doyle and Kit off at the airport. Doyle had to go to work and I thought it would just be easier on everyone involved (which is me) if Kit just stayed at the kennel for the next week until we are ready to drive out of here. Normally when he's outside all day when I'm at work, he likes to dig a hole and lay in the dirt. So since I just had him bathed and all freshened up, there was no way I was going to let him spend one more minute in the backyard.

The plan for the rest of the week is to pack mine and the kids luggage for the trip. That way when the packers come on Thursday, they can pack whatever is left to put in the truck. I'm sure I'm not going to have much time during the week so I want to get as much done today as possible. So the packers come on Thursday and the truck comes on Friday to load all the boxes. Doyle is now scheduled to get home Saturday evening. So the plan is supposed to be that I pick Kit up then Doyle and then we head straight to the Uhaul place to pick up the 4x8 trailer that we will tow behind us. That will have all our luggage and everything else that we need that won't fit in the Acadia with us. Plus we will take everything else that the moving company won't haul (cleaning supplies, shampoo, wine, etc.) Plus I'll have one whole cooler just for Dylan's frozen milk supply. Hopefully we can keep that frozen the entire time.

The kids and I just finished watching the Jags game... sorry to say the least! Leave it to the Jags to lose to a team that hasn't won a game all year. So typical for the Jags! Ugh!!! Oh well, hope everyone enjoys the next week!
