Toys & Big Boy Bed

My first task was to get Isaiah's toys and room arranged. This way he has familiar things around him as well as stuff to do!




We also decided to transition him into a big boy bed. He has done great. He can climb in and out of it by himself. He hasn't fallen out (yet-- knock on wood!). He has taken good naps and slept in it all night long. ANd in the morning, he comes finds me when he gets up.

Here he is exploring the bed for the first time :)




Here is this part of the room set up.


He got up here and wanted some pictures taken :)



And here he is asleep in his bed for his first night!

Welcome to Our "Home"?

As a short recap, a week ago Sunday Isaiah and I flew out to Atlanta to meet up with Adam, who had driven our car out. As any good blogging mom does, I took many pictures of Isaiah's first airplane ride. Unfortunately my camera card went fruity and I lost all of the pictures!! (omen??) Anyways, he did wonderfully and I think had fun :) Last Monday we took it easy, cleaned a little at the house, swam at the pool in the hotel, and explored our new town. Once again no pix 'cuz the camera is still broken- though we got it fixed that night. I was not going to be without it on delivery day!!! DUH!

Tuesday morning, bright and early, our day started.

The movers started the long, and exhausting, process of unloading all of our stuff.

By the end of the day, this is what the house looked like...








Adam and Isaiah found things to do to help the time go by. Isaiah loved to explore and go up and down the stairs inside and out.

Up the ramp/stairs:

Down the stairs:

And back up again...over and over:

And Isaiah zooming back down:

I promise there will be pictures of the final product soon. I have a few more boxes left and some finishing touches before I reveal it all to you.
Our first week has had its ups and downs, probably more ups than downs, but none the less we survived.

Happy Anniversary!!!

I wanted to take time out of al the hustle and bustle to wish my Grandma Flossie and Grandpa George a happy 60th year anniversary. They are amazing, strong, wonderful people and I love them both very much!!!
We spent some time with them before we left...










On our way home, Isaiah kept talking about "great-grandma"

Moving Day Part 2

Friday started bright and early with the two movers back, loading the truck. We tried to stay out of the way as much as possible but with a curious toddler, that was a challenge :)
Look at the cutie in the box...I think we will take him with us!

Watching all the activity.

Busy at work.

Wow I am high!

Isaiah liked to play on the ramp.
All of our stuff is on our way and we will follow shortly :( Yesterday I finished cleaning the house and saying my final good bye as I walked out the door. So many memories!!! Today has been a sad day thus far, with more tears to come as we board the plane. The next time I blog I will be starting the new adventure in Atlanta, Georgia!

Moving Day Part 1

The "big truck" arrived at 7:45am on Thursday to start the packing process. Isaiah was anxious to explore this montrosity sitting outside our house.








Through out the day our house filled with more and more boxes...







By the end of the day we were all exhausted!

Passing the time

Yesterday while the movers were in the house packing all of our stuff, we stayed outside, out of their way. Adam was doing some last minute yard work and of course Isaiah wanted to help :) I think they had fun!









Welcome Home Daddy!

Adam came home on Wednesday after being gone almost 3 weeks. We all met him at the airport and then went out for ice cream.
Is he here yet?

YEAH!!

Isaiah enjoying his cherry star kiss -- which by the way stained his face red for two days :)



Isn't she adorable?!?

Back together again.
