moving and shaking

we have been busy moving and settling into our rental so many apologies for the delay of the blog!  i didn’t have any trouble at all adjusting to our new place.  it has a big bed, a big tub and all my toys are here so i am doing just fine!  we are right next to daddy’s work, which is nice too!  i got to visit him and some of the people he works with this afternoon and i had a great time!

 

we haven’t been up to much lately except getting used to living in avery county and going about our regular schedule.  i’m learning that it takes a little longer to get to school and dance class or anything else we might have to do in boone.  we went to story time at our new library last wednesday and i’m sure we will try to make that a weekly event.  i’m also planning for next school year.  mommy applied for pre-k at the public school, but it’s very unlikely that i will get in since it’s mainly for 4 year olds and i will just miss the cut-off date for that.  but there is a mom’s morning out program at a church in banner elk that we are going to check out for the fall. 

i have been doing very well at night training since we moved!  i’ve only been wet once!  that means that i have been enjoying my chewies in the morning (i get a starburst for a dry pull-up and i call them chewies).  

we are looking forward to our trip to iowa!  we leave friday and mommy has been busy getting the car ready for the long drive.  it will be fun to celebrate christmas again with our family up there!

thought i would share a few pictures of our old house right before we left it for the last time.  i did very well sitting watching mickey mouse on the little dvd player while mommy and daddy cleaned the house out for the new owner.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDMA!!!

it has been so long since we have done a blog update and just as long since mommy has downloaded pictures.  we haven’t been taking a whole lot of pictures since we have been busy packing up to move this weekend!  we sold our house and are very excited to settle into our rental house and start the building process on our land. 

CONGRATS to the iowa hawkeyes for winning the orange bowl last night and for having a very exciting and successful season!  we could not be prouder of our team!  i didn’t get to watch the game since it was past my bedtime, but mommy let me watch the highlights on sportscenter this morning.  way to go, hawks!!!

 

when i last posted, it was christmas eve so let’s take a journey back in time!  we had a nice evening starting with mass, then home for chili, pumpkin pie and egg nog (for daddy).  i got to open one present that night from mommy and daddy (some new books) and we also got baby jesus and put him in the manger of my little people nativity.  i baked some chocolate cookies for santa and left only one for him on a plate with some milk.  i was very excited to get to bed so i could wake up the next morning to see if santa had visited our house.

christmas morning i decided to sleep in!  mommy and daddy had to wake me up and i’m sure that will be the last time that will happen on christmas morning until i’m a teenager.  i will be doing the waking for several years to come!  i got lots of great gifts from santa including a fisher price computer cool school, a kiddie camera and a cash register.  i also got a tea set, a pretty sweatshirt, a clock puzzle and a tinkerbell t-shirt.

 

 

while we were sleeping on christmas eve, we had a terrible ice storm.  we lost a few tree limbs at our house but were very lucky it wasn’t worse.  our street got pretty ugly with limbs blocking the road.  we lost power and water right after we opened presents and didn’t get it back until monday.  we stayed in a hotel on friday night and got chinese take-out for dinner (fa ra ra ra raaaa) and i got to watch a mickey mouse christmas movie that was on the disney channel.
