still alive!
We're here! We are finally in our new house and getting settled a little bit. We spent the last month living with Josh's parents while we waited for our closing date. On Friday, with an entire 4 minutes to spare before being bumped to Tuesday after the long weekend, we closed on the new house!! So we have been hard at work getting somewhat settled. We spent Friday cleaning and Saturday cleaning and painting with the help of Josh's parents and Bub, then Sunday was the big moving day. We had a lot of help and are very appreciative to Ron, Patty, Bub, Ryan, Dan, Caleb and Jeff for helping with the move! It was actually incredibly smooth, thankfully!
Here's a picture of a very relieved Josh at our closing. He was on the phone all day trying to get ahold of our lender and making sure everything was ready to go. I'm pretty sure he gained a few gray hairs over it all, but he's still as cute as ever!
Here he is at our very first family dinner in the new house. The dogs are liking it pretty well, though Lukey is still scared of everything. Poor little guy is a nervous wreck and can't figure out what we're doing and why we're doing it. Kowe is happy to be back in her big bed with everybody together, she's even being pretty nice to her brother which is unusual. Though I'm pretty sure she misses the attention she got at Grammy's and she is definitely missing the abundance of treats! She's made friends with a few of the neighbor kids and though they wanted to make friends with Lukey, too, he pretty much cowered under Josh's legs.
Finally, Wren's room is coming together soooo well!! We're loving how everyhing is working out and we still have a lot of work to do, but it's going to be so adorable! Josh put her crib together yesterday while I hung all of her clothes. (And there are a LOT of clothes!)
So this is officially Wren's first time IN her crib, hanging out while Daddy gets it all together. You can see her at the bottom of the picture, out in full force! You can also see a sneak peak at the color of the walls. More pictures to come, and a big post about the amazing baby shower that was thrown for us! Sooooon, hopefully.
