Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
2 Nephi 31:20

{more joy, more chaos} We moved!


First, do you see how many days we have left until Mom & Dad get home!  This is our countdown chain as of last night--very exciting!!!!
It has been a pretty crazy week.  Last Saturday we moved our furniture, etc to our new house!  Lulu also lost her 3rd tooth this same day!  A very exciting, chaotic, stressful, tiring day.  But, we are here in our new house now and we are really enjoying it.  We are still back-and-forth trying to get Mom & Dad's house ready for their return and we still have lots of boxes to unpack, but we are here!  We all have clothes to wear, (limited) food to eat, we can watch TV, color, play with toys, and read email--so we're doing pretty well.



Lulu actually lost her tooth in the moving mayhem, but luckily the tooth fairy found her tooth at Grandma's house and left her $1 there.
I did manage to complete a few LO's this week.  After unpacking and/or cleaning all day I needed a break and some me-time after my kids were in bed & Rob was in Vancouver.  This first one I completed Anilynn Designs new kit " Little Lovebirds" that was released this weekend.  This is our family picture Heather of Heather Clark Photography took for us last December.

I completed this next one for a Speed Scrap at ScrapMatters last week.  I got started really late (after cleaning all day with the help of Ashley, Brett & Liz--THANKS guys!) so it's nothing special, but the pictures aren't very good quality, so I kept them small because it is still a fun memory even if the camera did not cooperate.

Most of the LO comes from "Holly, Jolly, Ho Ho Ho" by Andilynn Designs.  Full Credits Here.  This last LO I completed for the template challenge at ScrapMatters.  I flipped the template and made it into a two-pager.  For Lulu's birthday last year we went to the zoo, then to Olive Garden and stayed at a hotel.

Full Credits Here & here.
Also, Squiggle has finally decided to walk!!!!  She has been such a champion crawler for the past five months, that she hasn't seen much of a need to walk--only 2 steps here and there.  On Friday I took the kids to Rob's parents house for the afternoon and she decided this was the time to really start walking.  She kept practicing a little yesterday, and more today, so hopefully I'll get a cute video of her soon.

  1. I love the countdown chain! We talked to them today and when your dad said, see you in 2 weeks your mom said "no no 12 days!" So exciting! I saw all these LO on that website - you have a ton on there! So darling, can't believe you could squeeze it in with everything else! We need to come see your house now that its not filled to the brim with boxes!
