All Moved In

Well we're all moved into our new house. Brandon went back to the old house last night and got the last of our stuff so it's official, we're in our new house for good now! All we have left to do is find somewhere to put a china cabinet and buy a refrigerator and a dishwasher...yuck. But it's such a cute little house and it's been so much fun so far. Timothy loves being able to go wherever and not have gates blocking him off and stairs to worry about him falling down.

We still don't have cable, but it's getting there, in the mean time we've been watching season 8 of Friends and I think tonight I might start season 2 of Lost. Anyway, since we don't have cable I can't post the pictures of Timothy's hair cut, but trust me when I say it turned out well and he did great. Not too much crying, he just sat there in his little boat and played with cars and trucks and Elmo while she clipped away. He looks so grown up now though. I guess that's what I should expect for a 20 month old.

He has really started saying, "No!" to everything now, even when he really wants something, so it's hard to tell when he means it and when he doesn't. He's also real big into climbing and jumping...he even actually jumped with both feet the other night. Usually he just skips around the house. He's also learned the song "Ring Around the Roses" so we have to sing that every night but all he knows is to say, "ashes, ashes" (which comes out "aches, aches") and then he yells "down!".

Not much else new going on around here, we leave for TX on Friday and won't be back till the 29th so I hope everyone has a great Christmas and we'll see you in the New Year!

Future CEO

Well I couldn't handle having the camera packed so I had to get it out and take pictures. Actually, I had to get it out because I was selling some stuff and the lady wanted pictures but I figured I would keep it out just in case so here we are.

Timothy has an obsession with our computer. I'm sure most kids love anything to bang on and play with, especially when they see mommy and daddy on there having fun so the other day we were banished to my bedroom while Brandon loaded up the truck and Timothy climbed up onto the computer chair and he just looked so cute that I had to snap some pictures. He banged on the keyboard for about half an hour and I didn't think he had done any damage until I tried to get on here later that night to watch some shows I had recorded and noticed that the Media Center icon on the desktop was now called "io" and the iTunes icon is now "kk ....." so I guess I have some clean up work to do there!

He has also started calling himself, "Timmy". I think that's what they call him at daycare and the other day he was playing and I said, "Timothy crash!" and he responded, "Timmy crash!" and then when he was playing on the computer he saw his picture on our desktop background and said, "There's Timmy!". It's cute, I figured at some point it would get shortened to Timmy, I still call him Timothy though, I can't help it.

I know in these pictures his hair is looking a little shaggy so tonight we're going for the first official hair cut. I'm really nervous, I just don't want them to make him look too much like a big boy, like shaved head and all so I'm sure they won't like me very much by the time it's over, but I just want it trimmed and cleaned up, not completely removed! It took so long for all that beautiful hair to grow, I don't want it all taken off!

We've pretty much got the house all packed up, just a few more boxes in the kitchen and our closet to go and then we're done and ready to move. Brandon's already taken like four loads over there so all that should be left for Saturday is the furniture and stuff like that. Anyway, I should run, I need to grab a shower before he wakes up and I need to do some stuff for work.

Two Weeks til Christmas

Ahh! I feel like there is so much more to get done before Christmas. And I know it's been forever since I've been on here, but there's a good reason for that...we're moving! Yes, I know, we're moving...again. We really hadn't planned on it, but it was a deal we could refuse. Our good friends the Brazile's were trying to sell their house so that they could move into a new house and they weren't getting many people interested so we asked them if they would consider doing a lease to own for us and they said yes! So, we'll lease the house for 18 months and then if Brandon's office here offers him a job here we'll buy the house and not have to pack up and move again, and if not then we're only renting and don't have to worry about selling it...so it really was a good deal. But, we're moving next Saturday, one week from today...so I've been busy packing up the house and Brandon just left to go ahead and take a few loads of boxes over to store in their garage.

So I don't have any new pictures because the camera is packed but I promise I'll get pictures of the new house once we get in and get reasonably unpacked. I should probably go pack some more though. I've gotten pretty much everything done except for the kitchen so not too bad. I will miss this house, it's really pretty and new and I like the playground behind the house...but it takes at least an hour to get anywhere, and I really don't have too many good memories of this house...this is the house that we all got so sick in last Spring so I don't think I'll miss that too much. It is also the house that Timothy learned to walk in and said his first real words in though, so I will remember it for that.

Anyway, just thought I would let everyone know that we hadn't fallen off the face of the earth, we've just had a crazy few weeks since Thanksgiving. And to top it all off, we leave on the 21st for Christmas, so there's just really not much time left this month! So, I hope everyone enjoys the last 16 or so days til Christmas and I'll try to get back on here once our cable and computer and everything gets set up!
