This is the morning time crew!

Emma learns to sit up!

Cousin Mia and Emma on their first of many playdates!

Will is on deck "warming up"

Crack kills Emma!

Matt takes the boys to the Home Depot the first Sat. in the month to do a Kids Tool Time!
The boys love it! I think Matt likes it more than they do!

We are finally in our new house! Yippee!! We closed on March 26. We didn't have any furniture or anything out of storage so we slept on our floors! It was fun and something the kids will always remember! Thanks to our families who really helped us get all of our stuff out of storage and put away. We all worked like dogs that weekend!
Since then, I have tried hard to get the kids back into a normal routine. Living with the Grandparents put the scheduling and all the rules on the back-burning for a while. Now, I am ready to inforce rules and stick to my good ol' schedule!
We painted our family room, kitchen and breakfast room this weekend. I wanted a yellow/beige color and it looks great. Amazing what a little paint will do to a room!
Paige and I are going to playdates on Tuesdays. It is a group of girls from church who all have babies the same age as Emma (6-8mo. old). It is a great way to talk to adults and have a good conversation with someone! It also allows me to spend good, quality time with Emma. It seems with the hustle and bustle of these past 8 months, I have let time get the best of me and have forgotten to savor these precious moments. Because I know all too well how fast these young years go! Will is going to kindergarden this year for crying out loud!
Speaking of kindergarden, I took Will to his "new Kindergarden" just up the road from us. I met with the school secretary and she took us on a great tour. It is a brand new school. This is the first year they opened. It's beautiful and so full of bright colors! Will is very excited! He talks about it all the time.
Well, I better go. I need to wind down for the night. Busy weekend we had. Hope all is well with everyone reading this. I will do better posting my blog!

Hey Steph,
I'm glad you posted! I have been wondering how it has been going since you moved in. I am sure you know the pics didn't take- that is very frustrating after you've worked hard to get a blog typed out. That's happened to me several times! Talk to you later-
