What we have been up to lately!

First of all the main reason I haven't blogged in awhile is because we moved! We bought a place in Saratoga Springs. We were supposed to close by the 14th of March so we sold our contract and moved out of our last place and we didn't close by the 14th... So Jon and MarKey were nice enough to let us stay at their home until we closed, which we thought would only take a couple days... Well it took 2 more weeks!! We moved in the last weekend of March and it took another week to get the internet. I am happy to say that we are almost all the way unpacked!

Here are a couple of pictures from the last month.


Skipper's birthday was in the beginning of March. We had a family day at the Gateway discovery center. Madeline got to play in a helicopter and thought it was pretty cool.

We went to the Sportsmans Expo with cousin Natalee, and Grandma Dean. They had these cute little bear cubs that the girls got to play with.

They also had fun looking at all the boats. They ran all over all of them and just as we were getting ready to leave the boats I noticed a sign that said "Please remove shoes before getting on the boats". Ooops!

When we were staying at Markey's it was time to wake Madeline up from her nap and Bennett decided to help! It was really cute because he kept inching toward her so I turned around to get my camera and by the time I turned around this is what he was doing!
We spent the weekends during our homeless period at Grandma Deans. Natalee was up there one weekend and the girls got to fly kites.

Madeline really liked flying kites!

She also went to a birthday party and got her face painted.

She got a new fancy dress.

She loved having tea parties with her dad!

They seriously did this for over an hour. It was cute.
We had a party for Jon and MarKey at the Thanksgiving Point Farm Country. I think that the party was more for the kids than for Jon and MarKey. Here is Madeline riding one of the ponies.
She also got to go on a tractor ride. She has been obsessed with tractors lately. We watched The Secret of Nimh, freaky movie by the way, but she wanted to watch the tractor scene over and over again. Now she loves seeing them in real life.
She loves her pigtails, and asks me to put them in daily.
She loved the tea set at Grandma Deans so much we had to get her one.
Well there you go! Hopefully we will post more pictures soon!

It has been a while Nia. I'm so happy for your new house purchase. That's exciting. And I have no intention of posting belly shots on my blog. That's embarrassing. If you want to see it, you'll have to see it in person. So call me so I can come see your new house.
