Hayley's New Bedroom

Well, the day has finally arrived. Hayley's new bedroom furniture arrived this afternoon and she has officially moved into her new, big girl room. She was so excited about her new bed that 30 minutes after getting up from her nap she was ready to go "night night" just so she could crawl into her new bed and lie down. Tonight after doing our normal bedtime routine she crawled into her big bed, pulled the sheets up to her waist, gave daddy a hug and kiss and went "night night" (well, after 45 minutes of pushing Gloworm). She was so happy!!

Carolyn said she was going to post some pictures of the room so check back for those soon.

To New Hampshire and Back

As soon as Debbie found out we were having a boy, she was thrilled. I think for lots of reasons, but especially because she was going to be able to pass on all of Brett's stuff to us. Since he's almost 6, she's got a lot hanging around. So since Keith got transferred to Pennsylvania, and they're moving next week, we had to take a quick trip up to New Hampshire to grab all our hand me downs. So at 8:30 this morning we loaded into our empty car with Dave, me, Hayley and Josie. We got to Deb's, and 30 minutes later, our car was filled from end to end to roof with clothes, a car seat, toys, shoes, of gosh, more then we could possibly imagined.

Hayley and Dave played outside for awhile, we had a nice lunch on the sun porch, and off we went, back home. As we pulled away, we realized that would be the last time we would ever go to that house. Kinda sad! But we can't wait to visit them at their new house, which has a pool, so hopefully it will be in the summertime! Poor Josie had to lie on the floor at my feet in the front seat with nowhere else for her to go! And seven hours after we had left, we arrived back home, unloaded the car, and packed it all upstairs in storage.

Totally worth the trip, but we are all exhausted. If you're reading this, Thanks Deb SO much for everything!

Fun With Kaelyn

Hayley has a lot of best friends. They seem to come and go and come back again. It is so fun to have so many babies her age around and I really feel blessed to have a great group of mom's too. Lately her best friend has been Kaelyn. Her mom is Sherri and we met at a sketchy hippie music group that I never went to again, but got a great friend out of it, so totally worth it. Anyway, these girls are like sisters. Sherri and I laugh almost daily at their similarities, from the rashes they get on their faces to the way they talk and walk to their development. Funniest (and cutest of all) is that they totally fight like sisters. They constantly ask for each other, then get together and push and steal toys (mostly Hayley, she's the mean one). Then they love each other and play together and share and hug like, 30 minutes later. It is so cute, and we just laugh about it.

The other day they came over for a play date and we snapped a couple cute pictures of them. The one of them on the front steps is my all time favorite! I just love this picture. It totally encapsulates their personalities!

Sherri is also having another baby due on the 11th, a boy. So our boys are going to be 3 months apart, too! Which we are totally psyched about!
