happy thanksgiving :)

happy thanksgiving to you all. hope your days were filled with love & yummy food & drink! we indulged at the ruen's this year with the barges, butlers, richards, & horsfalls! thank you to auntie steph & uncle ryan for traveling across the state to be with us! we'll be seeing you again in a few months when you come to meet isaiah!

after a beautifully prepared dinner, (thank you grandma, kathleen, barb, & molly; maybe one day mommy can provide you the luxury of the same!) the boys snuck away to rearrange grandpa's christmas lights! we all headed back to the house to wave at grandpa as he came home to discover "noel" was now "leon"!!

thank you to the ruen's for hosting such a lovely holiday. we are truly thankful for such a wonderful family :)

bartender lowell!!

back at grandma & grandpa's to play some more!

teresa, we decided to to this puzzle instead of the double sided puzzle because the horsfall's were only here for a few days & we figured we best wait 'till we have a week together to put the "world's most difficult puzzle" together!! lol...i will complete it!!

a trip to the merry go round! thanks uncle eric for the ride ; )

prayers for aunt barbara (jean matchey), she's in the hospital with complications of pneumonia & possible kidney challenges? also, fluid in the lungs with a pesky fever...

look what daddy helped me make our first day here!!! (thank you daddy for taking saturday off work)
we're getting settled in just fine. the kitties have calmed down & may be coming to terms that this is thier new abode!

right now action is on the couch (on the seattle blanket) & flo is on a plastic tub (on the mexico blanket) listening to christmas music!

and mommy is VERY patiently awaiting a call from her friend to see if the pregnancy test is postitive....she (sorry, can't disclose the name yet!) took one last night & is taking another this morning to affirm it wasn't a false positive!!! C'OMON little blue line!!

the bird has landed!

we made it to the east side! thank you so very very much to uncle luke & grandma mary for all the hard work-not to mention driving a 55' rig uncle luke! (his trailor is 30' & truck is 25'? is that right luke?) anyhow, the roads were fine & we made great time. daddy & grandma chris met us at the storage unit when we arrived, we unloaded half the trailor there & half at the house. luke & grandma mary stayed for breakfast, then went back.

thank you again for all of your help to everyone who helped with the old house. packing & cleaning & such. grandpa edwards, i hope that hamburger we left in the freezer was okay! (mommy forgot to turn the fridge back on to keep some items to give to luke & grandpa after a scrub down! silly mommy!!) but truly, we are so overflowing with gratitude. you have all been so supportive...aw pickles, here come the tears!!

the last of our hours at my very first house!

i had so much fun in uncle luke's trailor! i was sprinting everywhere!! helping to load, bouncing around, riding my tractor down the ramp! it was a hoot!

i bought this bottle filled with beautiful zantac...and now i can't find it.!!!!!!!!
