Settling Into The New House

Our move went great and yes, we're extremely excited to have guests! Everyone is invited to come any time they want! Come on over! There's lots of room, although we're a little nervous that your expectations are too high because the pictures really do make it look like a grand estate- Tara as Grandmom says! Not quite.

It's all pretty messy still so there aren't a lot of pictures of the rooms yet- but soon. Maybe we'll take a video of Timmy showing you around, "MTV Cribs" style.

Cute new stuff that Oly does:

Points out every blue car we see and screams, "Bwoo! Bwoo!" and then matter-of-factly, "Cah." (Yes, cah- as in Hahvahd yahd.)

Leaves a room and hollers, "K, Bye!". Then comes back in and squeels, "Hiiiiiiii!"

When talking/thinking about someone being hurt she squishes up her nose and says, "Owts".

She is now allowed in the kitchen and is constantly busy taking everything out of every drawer and cupboard that she can reach. Yesterday when I was making lunch she got out a pot and a whisk. She stirred and said over and over, "cook! cook!".

Sitting on a bench at the Tot Lot (she calls it the "Tata!") with Tommy and his Aunt Ali:
