Out With the Old in With the New

So, you haven't heard from us in a while because we have been busy getting way too many new things. Some by choice others not so much.

New Home: It all really started with thinking that putting our old condo on the market was a good idea. After some closing drama we are now tucked away in our new home. Please come visit. We can even offer you your own bedroom AND bathroom.

Here are Amelia and I right before leaving her first home for the last time.

Shock, Amelia was an enormous help with packing and unpacking.

Auntie M and Mr. P came in town the day after we moved in. Our new home has stairs which Auntie M wasted no time teaching Amelia how to climb.

New Car: The new home lead us to needing a second car. We were very grumpy about having to buy a second car. We live in the city for many reasons and one of them is because we enjoy walking and public transportation. However our new place is no longer within walking distance of daycare and since Amelia can't get herself to daycare a new car it had to be. Now that we have our new (to us) Prius I am totally obsessed. It is really freaking cute.


New Daycare: Really I won't spare you with the details (although many of you have already patiently listened to the saga) but Amelia will now be spending her days with Jenn. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and family members who helped us out in the meantime. Amelia got to spend QT with Grandma Ginnie, GranAnn, Aunt Bobbie, Cousin G, Auntie M and her good friends Mariah and Carla. Having Amelia at home with a sitter wasn't what we ever planned on but we are super excited about Jenn and selfishly I'm excited to not have to get her out the door in the morning. In case you are wondering, that new car we bought to take Amelia to daycare in is now of no use....... Sweet.

Camera(s): My dad always seems to be getting a new camera which works out very well for us. So thanks to Papa we now have a video camera. Movies staring Amelia will of course be finding there way to our blog. We also have our regular camera back. After a little incident at Andrew and Lee's wedding our camera had to spend some time at the repair shop.

Cousin: Just kidding, Amelia's new cousin isn't here yet so for now she is "stuck" with G.

We are done helping our economy for a very long time! Instead of shopping I can now focus on taking lots of pictures and videos of our little girl.
