Right now life is full of craziness... it seems all we do it pack, pack, tape, tape, scribble notes on boxes, and start all over again. We're hoping to have our current house on the market by the end of this week, so hopefully life will regain a small semblance of regularity again soon...

Part of the challenge, too, is trying to decide what to pack for long term and what we'll need over the next six months as we wait for our house to be built. We're trying to avoid the "uh oh... now where did I put the toothbrush..." scenarios. It'll be crazy to live with half of our stuff in storage for 6 months and only a handful with us as we look forward to the completion of our house. But what a fun thing!

We debated a little bit, but I think we'll keep this box out... at least for a while~

It's official

While we were eating dinner tonight, Jadyn made an announcement: "Karina is officially my big girl-little sister." This came right after she witnessed Karina take a big bite of macaroni and somehow not spill any on her shirt. (There has been an ongoing battle at our house about Karina being a baby girl or a big girl.) Apparently, if you can eat without spilling, you are just one small step away from being a grown-up. Good to know.

Daddy makes a great bed!

I guess you have to be careful where you take a nap at our house.

A taste of chaos...

Guess what...?!

We just bought a new house.

Well, actually we just bought a dirt lot...

But in 6 or 7 months there is supposed to be a new house on that lot!

We're really excited!

The girls even volunteered to be part of the construction crew...

The new house will be only about 5-10 minutes from where we currently live.

Of course, the next 6 months are crazy busy as we get ready to sell our currrent home and go through the process of deciding what the new home will look like.

We even met some of our soon-to-be neighbors yesterday. Can you believe it... there are even 4 girls the same age as our girls that live on our new culdesac~

What a fun chaos!

Our new photographer

Jadyn has been learning to use a digital camera all week (thank you Gramda!) and loving it.

It is really fun to see what your 4 year old thinks is worthy of a picture.

Here are a few of my favorites out of about 200 or so.
