Just the 4 of us...

We are getting settled into our new house and we are all loving it! Charlie loves going up and down the stair case, playing in her 'its still blue' bedroom and running around outside. Addison is sleeping all night again and really enjoys having us chase her all over the house as she crawls everywhere. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms upstairs and a 1/2 bath downstairs. The kitchen is fairly big too w/ a lot of cabinets, so I should have enough room for all of my kitchen stuff! The house is on the corner and has a very nice size front and backyard. We met several of our neighbors and there are a ton of kids of all ages. Charlie will have several little girls to play with and has already made some new friends. Every time I've seen kids out playing I've grabbed her and marched on over and introduced ourselves. Its pretty funny, but its good for all of us. After this weekend we are finally starting to feel settled in. I was able to go to the grocery store, so now we have food. Janette's friend Sue gave us a pot and some bowls, plus a kitchen table. So now I can cook and Charlie can sit down and eat. She was standing on her stool and eating off the kitchen counter. I bought some plastic plates and silverware. We don't need anything fancy or much for that matter. Just enough to get us by for a few weeks. We borrowed some towels from Janette and the girls of course have everything they need. We even got TV installed this weekend. LOL, I enjoyed not having TV but Scott is glad we have it again.
My Mom booked her flight for the end of October. We are very excited. She'll be able to watch the kids as Scott goes back to get our stuff. Plus, with her here Scott can work full time which will allow for us to save some money and then we can afford day care. We just need to get up a little bit and we'll be fine. We are so excited! Charlie Mae can't wait. She talks about her Yaya all the time!
The weather here is starting to cool off and the leaves are changing. All that green is slowing turning to beautiful reds, oranges, yellows and browns. Its amazing. The view is incredible... Color as far as the eye can see. We have seen so many deer in the last 2 weeks, its unreal. They are just grazing along the road and highways. We even had a buck in our backyard. We have found a church community that we like and Charlie and I have been going to Sunday school. Scott meets us there for the service w/Addison. That way she is only in the nursery for an hour. Everyone there of course loves the both of them and Charlie Mae has charmed them all with her words. Today her lesson was how 'Jesus heals' and she told them that she 'gets sick sometimes and her tummy will hurt when she pushes out her poops!' Yes, kids say such wonderful things! - I think I'll end on that one...

Hello beauty shop!

Charlie Mae got her 2nd haircut this weekend. We had them cut about 2 inches off... She wants long hair like her mommy, but agreed to get a trim. She looks great!

Addison's action shot of the day!

This was her first time feeling the grass and it was hilarious! She would touch it and then look at her hands w/ a funny look on her face! She just couldn't figure it out. She finally started to crawl in it after sitting and touching for about 10 minutes.

Charlie Mae at the park.

She climbed this ladder type stairs all by herself. I was impressed. This was at her friend Ava's birthday party today. They go to the same school, but Ava is in a different class. They get along great and have a blast together. The party also had one of those great BIG bounce houses, and Charlie loved it!

We have KEYS!

We just picked up our keys to our new house... Yeah! On our way as I'm soaking up the beautiful fall drive, we see 2 deer! The route is amazing! So many tall trees full of leaves that are starting to change color. The air is cool and crisp and the wind is screaming 'fall is here'! I of course am freezing! Ha ha!! We love our house and we can't wait to move in. It is such a quiet little neighborhood and our house sits at the end of the street. Hopefully we can move in soon!! California, here Scott comes!!
