Family Time

You now what really matters? Time with the family. This past Saturday we went to a puppet show in the morning...

...and a short hike in the afternoon. 

Relocating is tough. Shutting down one phase of life and opening another is emotional. These pictures show a lot of smiles and together-ness, there have been a lot of tears and hurts recently. Everyone deals with it in their own way. Some of those ways are positive; some not. 

Stopping for some super yummy doener is definitely one of the positive!

Getting Ready for the Move

So we bought a house. Still can't get over that. Anyways, we are working on getting the house ready for us to move in, which means: painting! Thankfully the weather has been decent, the PJ-sitters and helpers very handy, and we have been able to get a lot done.

Don't we make painting look like so much fun?

Yeah, it is about as fun as it looks. 

We are also getting ready for the actual move, which means: packing! We've gotten the first boxes up the stairs and starting putting them together.

Who knew putting boxes together could be so much?



Me either.

Gimme Grannie!

Two days ago we got to spend some 'quality time' with Grannie and Grandpa in the US over skype. PJ has already decided that my netbook belongs to him, so it should be of no surprise that his first real across-the-floor & get-out-of-my-way movement was towards his grandparents on my laptop.

I promised to load a pretty video of his scooching - here it is! You can hear my mom, Grannie, encouraging PJ throughout the video. If you look closely you'll catch his bottom lip going out (right before I say "bottom lip out"). The past few days have taught me that when the bottom lip comes out, I better watch out! PJ has decided he is gonna get something and I better not get in his way.

He's kinda like his momma, eh?

Since then he hasn't stopped moving and is actually getting faster. He also discovered the fun of removing ornaments from the Christmas tree too; the bottom branches are now bare!

Hands and Knees

Little man is getting up on his hands and knees already. Granted, the pose lasts about as long as my downward facing dog does these days (which is best count in milliseconds), but still. Pretty cool.

I'd load a longer video but as soon as he sees the camera, he just hams it up and stays on his belly. What can I say, he's like his mommy.
