These pictures are from the afternoon we spent with Connie and her kids. I didn't take as many as I should have (this always happens to me), but I did get a few. We had fun playing outside
in the sprinkler and playing inside. And I enjoyed the little bits of conversation that Connie and I managed to get in during all the activity around us.

I'm back!

Sorry for the long absence. We have settled into a bit of a routine here in our new home and think I have found my blogging window. For now anyway... I have a lot of catching up to do. And thought I would stretch it out over a couple days.

These pictures were taken about 2 months ago during a diaper change. For some reason -- I can't remember why -- I got Kaiya up to change her diaper after she had fallen asleep for the night. Probably realized that I hadn't changed her diaper before she fell asleep. Anyway. She is laying on the changing table. I take the diaper off and as I reach for the wipes, she rolls over onto her belly and is out of it. I had time to grab the camera and get a picture and she didn't move a bit. We finished the diaper change and then I layed her back into her crib. She rolled immediately again and continued sleeping in her favorite sleeping position. On her belly, with her knees tucked up and her little toushy in the air.

That's it for today. I'll blog more pictures tomorrow... I have a ton to post so it will be fun to get all caught up.

Quick Update

I just wanted to post a quick update. I am in my last week of training my replacement here at work. As a result, I haven't had hours on end to surf the Internet. :) I'm sure that will resume once we are settled in Florida. Here's our timeline:

August 9th: Rachel's last day at work (Hallelujah)
August 9th/11th: Tony will leave for Florida, Rachel will go to Ind. to finalize things at house we own and see a couple friends.
August 13th: Doctor's appt to hopefully determine sex of baby for sure! :)
August 15th: Pick up Tony at Airport
August 16th-17th: Get seriously packed
August 18th: Tony's graduation, Load the Truck
August 19th: Pull out in the morning.
August 21st: Arrive in Florida

Whew! Can't think about the next two weeks too hard or I start bawling. This is a bit stressful -- completely exciting -- but stressful.

Ruthie is now living with us. Poor thing is sleeping on her mattress on the floor of our office -- which is a room that is not closed off to the rest of the house. She is graciously sharing her space with us. Most of her belongings are in boxes in our basement currently.

We are still trying to nail things down w/ a place to live in Florida. We found a wonderful house, but are waiting to be approved, etc. Please pray no one snatches this house out from under us -- we have to wait on the Post Office to get our checks down there, so I'm paranoid.

You may hear from me only in small spurts over the next few weeks. I'll be back eventually.
