Out with the Old...
Thank heavens for Aunt Jocelyn, who came to help us with the move. This girl is a bundle of energy and a lifesaver, and we couldn't have survived half a day without her.
Look closely at this bag...we found it under London's bed! It about sums up my feelings for our old apartment!
I keep thinking I'll post pics of the new house...when it's clean and unpacked. We haven't gotten there yet! Here is one picture of part of the family room, cutting out all the mess. :)
(Why is Care Bear in time out? According to L & M, he was 'bothering the turtle.')
Our washer and dryer, a full four days late, but here! Four days doesn't sound like a lot until you are hand-washing poopy princess underwear in the sink....So far this is the only upgrade we have done to the house, at least until 2009.
The girls and I keep finding spiders! I am barely brave enough to catch them, but not kill them! So they sit in jars around the house. I keep looking up pictures of brown recluses to compare, but who knows? Unfortunately L & M have started to make friends with the poor things, thinking of them somewhat as pets. Here they are singing'the itsy bitsy spider' to our latest victim.
We spent an entire day on campus at 'daddy's school.' The girls loved it! I was surprised at how much we stood out as literally, the only 2.5 kids on campus. Compare that to BYU and Utah State where people come to class with strollers and newborns in tow...We had a fun day and the girls especially loved the turtle pond.
We have taken up visiting Pflugerville Lake as a family activity as we are only a couple of minutes away. We are anxious to get a canoe and also (Ryan) starting to run around the lake. It is a 3-mile run and is gorgeous. The girls like to scope out all the dogs, all sopping wet!

I am glad you are being consistent in your time out discipline....even Care bear has to do his time! That lake looks really fun. Can't wait to see it and all of you!
I liked the spider part, that is exactly what I do... I think they are disgusting to squish so I just trap them and then have josh take them out side or kill them. Since we've moved to TN I'm also scared of Brown Recluse spiders! AHH
What fun adventures you are having in your new house, spiders, also getting acquainted with the area. the UT campuse is huge,isn't it? thanks for all the pictures.

So it really appears that I am the one that is behind in the comments. I loved the pictures of your trip, I had no idea that you were able to get so much in, while there just a short week.
I am really glad that you were able to go back and spend some time in your neighborhood with all those good friends.
I love how you are getting along in your home, even with the unexpected 8 legged intruders. James is a 'let them go' kind of a person, I would rather see them finished, so I have learned to deal with them myself.
Can't wait to pop by to see how you have put all of your things around the house.
