I'm baaaaaaack!

So, have you been wondering about us? We're here, and this is what our week has consisted of:
UNPACKING! Here's the office. Probably the least organized room in the house!

The great room, and three little heads over the couch. They have been complete troopers--with all of this rain, they've been a little stir-crazy. They've each organized their rooms, and thank goodness that cable was hooked up on Monday

The first (and only!) completely unpacked room--the kitchen!

Here's our very own mudslide--our backyard. This picture doesn't show it, but from where I'm taking the picture to the end of our lot is a 12-foot drop. There are two retaining walls. What you also can't see is how much of our topsoil in our new next-door-neighbhors lawn. :(

Here's your room, Dawn! (The basement) :)

Things are going well....slowly but surely we're getting settled and trying to learn things about our new community. Remember, we love visitors and are a short drive from Elkhorn (just ask Ted!)

I'll post more as we progress. We're having a big g-sale in September!

We love you Elkhorn!

It's hard for me to believe tomorrow is moving day. It has been such a long transition for us, it sometimes felt like it wasn't going to happen. Who would have believed when we arrived here SEVEN years ago (almost to the day!) that I wouldn't want to move back to where we came from. Our years in Elkhorn have been the best! From our awesome church, where God has really grown both Ted and I spiritually, to our fantastic neighborhood where we made life-long memories, to the great school system, to being able to spend such quality and quantity times with Ted's family.....I could go on and on. We leave with heavy hearts, but also know that God has gone before us and has a new adventure for us. Like having Ted home more!!! Yipee! And another friendly, welcoming neighborhood. We'll be back reguarly, and would LOVE guests!

Packing.......Moving

Oh, did I mention we were building a house? We closed yesterday and move in a week. I'm quite sure I have ADD when it comes to packing. I pack one, maybe two boxes, and then I need to check something on the computer, or go outside to play with the kids (actually chat with neighbors). Everything is done but carpeting and seeding (well, almost everything). Ted told our builder to leave some trim off because I won't know how to live in a finished house! Here's the latest:

Look at that cute guy checking something out in the kitchen

The office

Baxter makes the cut!

I've had some requests for pictures of our best hairy friend....here's our nicest guy Baxter! He likes to snuggle....

Vacation Bible School ROCKS!

And I'm not biased, just because I've been involved with this ministry for seven years!
Will, "Rockin' the VBS jams, dude"

Kaleb doing a craft. Thankfully, he's got more talent than me in this area!

Anna, INTENTLY listening to a bible story.

Oh yeah, the house. We took time out of our week to check stuff out:

Right now, my fav room in the house, our BATHROOM! LOVE IT!

Here are the famous cabinets you've all heard about. The laminate tile too. Lookin' great!
