Holiday World

We visited my Aunt and Uncle in Santa Claus, Indiana over the weekend and spent a day and a half at Holiday World.  It was so much fun.  The weather was beautiful and the girls had a blast, especially Maddie.  She's fearless when it comes to heights so she loved all the rides (except for some reason she's afraid of the Merry-go-round).

All moved in!

Whoa, it's been 3 months since my last post!  This is why.


We moved from this house into . . .


and we couldn't be happier.  It is definitely our dream home.  I hope that provides an answer to why I've been out of touch.  We made an offer on the new house then worked very hard for two weeks to get our other house ready to sell.  Luckily we sold that house and then just had to worry about smooth transactions and closings.  After all that was done we had to pack everything up and move with two very active children.  All I can say is I'm glad it's all over and it was so worth it.  I'm in bliss.

Our last walk in the neighborhood

Maddie helped pack some toys

















Luckily the TV was the last to go.



Nobody touches Jon's 3rd child without permission

Caitlyn's hide away during the move.  She slept for 3 hours in Maddie's closet.

Maddie's hideaway.  No nap for her!








First things first...chill a cheap, plastic bottle of wine




Maddie worked for a long time at unpacking the couch with safety scissors.




Caitlyn's up!


Our first dinner in the new house.



Gramma stayed for a week to help unpack.  She was a lifesaver.



I think this is my favorite room in the house.




The new playroom






Casper also enjoys the screened in porch :)
