Well, we are now residents of St. George! Our move was eventful.....we almost didn't have a moving truck, and then thanks to a fellow Canadian Reformed man who owns St. George U-Haul, we got 2 17 foot trucks. Thank the Lord that he pulled through...if it were up to U-Haul itself our move would have been a disaster!. Aidan went with Eric to pick up the big trucks as Aidan called them. At first he was nervous, but then he was tickled pink to be sitting beside Eric in the truck!

We got everything in the trucks on Thursday night, and then we spent the night at Eric's parents with the kids. Friday morning we went back to the old house to clean it up nice for the new owners. Then we ran a few errands and went out for lunch and then met the piano movers at the house at 2. They got it out of the house pretty quickly and then we went on to St. George. When they got there they took one look at the basement stairs (unfortunately, that's where my piano had to go) and said that it wouldn't fit. We had to put it in the livingroom. But after some careful measuring, they decided that it could go down the stairs....but with no equipment, and only 1/4 inch of clearance...yikes. But it made it down. They said that getting it out will not be so easy though. We'll have to call them back to did it, they did such a great job.
After they left we began to unload the truck with boxes. My parents and us got the whole thing empty by supper time! That just left the truck with furniture for after dinner when the helpers came. I spent my night unpacking my kitchen. It got a little crazy in there at times!!

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has helped us build this house and move it....and helped us care for our kids in the process....we greatly appreciate everything that you have all done!!
Here is the awesome view that we have from our back door. It's all farms. Eric feels much more at home with a view of the country. Aidan however is asking many times a day, sometimes through tears, to go home. Poor kid. Hopefully he'll understand it all soon!


If it's not too cloudy of a night we will also get to see the sun set every night out the back. It was beautiful! Pictures cannot even do it justice!!

Here's Anna in her bed the first night. She has now decided that she should sleep on her tummy. That results in her taking a lot more time to settle down to sleep. She's using the beautiful new bedding that my Mom made her to match her new room!

Anna is 11 months!! She weighs 20 pounds, 7 ounces, and is 29 inches long. She didn't have too much gain this month due to the virus she caught that left her puking etc. She learned how to crawl just 2 days before we moved....not the best timing, but we are so proud of her and she is so much more happy! I've also started putting ponies in her hair, and you can see that they are very cute!! It was hard to take her picture this month as she just kept crawling away!


Two ponies are even cuter!

For one of her naps she took a long time settling, and it looks like she just kinda fell forward to go to sleep. It doesn't look very comfortable!

Aidan and his Daddy are exploring the bushes behind our lot. Aidan likes to gather stones in his pail!

Aidan colouring in the afternoon sun in our dining room! He looks so cute with the sun shining on him!

That's all for now! I'll post pictures of our house again once everything is put away!
