People we saw before the BIG MOVE!

Liza and Eddie stopped by the night before the move...









Mena protecting us all from Eddie...oh my! Mena just wouldn't give it up...crazy girl.









Joan/Liza and Eddie's feet in the kitchen...I miss that tile work...so lovely!









Got to hang out with Ellen at Panera...and have some yummy food too!

Snow/Freezing Rain...yuck...

Today was not so nice weather-wise...it started off with snow (very pretty) and then some freezing rain...and supposedly will turn/stay rain later tonight...so that got me thinking back to earlier days last week...this is what the dogs like to do when the sun is shining...we have a small deck that is up in air attached to the dining area (no way down)! But the dogs get a great view of the neighborhood and like to bark at anything that moves, as well as bake in the sun!

Good morning sunshine!

Alana checking on Willa in the backyard one morning...our mornings are pretty scheduled, Alana's up between 545 and 615 most mornings, then it's a bottle, some cheerios while we eat breakfast and then playtime, perhaps a book to read, and then comes the morning nap usually around 9am until 1030 or 11...that's when I get the chance to check email, start laundry, perhaps get to watch some sportscenter!

Alana having fun!

Alana has a new teething toy! John Deere corn!

Yeah! Fun with the cap from my bottle!














Just too cute for words!














Standing up! Something Alana's very proud of!














Look at Alana's two bottom teeth!











Willa ran by...hahaha...too cute!

The POD arrives!

The POD arrived early in the morning on March 1st! And in a snowstorm no less. We received about 6 inches during our first night in New Hampshire!




















Beep! Beep!











The guy uses a remote control to take the POD off the truck!





















Pretty cool huh?

And the truck is off and away!

And then we had the great unloading, from left to right:
Brian, Mr. Lord, Chris and Andy! It was all unloaded in two hours!
