Let's see...
On Friday, Mom and Dad had a bit of a carpet scare. Turns out the carpet that was sold to them, and the carpet that was being installed over 3 days were two different things! Thankfully, they were able to get it all straightened out, and the carpet install was a success (and just in time for our move-in date). They were afraid that we were going to have to push our entire schedule back a few days (which would mean a LOT of rescheduling). Phew!
Carpet and paint complete. More pictures to come!
Clean and painted kitchen, ready for move-in!
Mom and Dad ended their work week with a Hot Chocolate party at work with their co-workers before the Holiday break. Lucky ducks:

Between running around and getting everything packed and ready to go, we were able to spend time quality time with Devin this past weekend. We are sad that Devin has moved back to Dallas. We are going to miss her. I enjoyed my time with her and can't wait to see her again. My Big Sis and I:
We managed to move quite a few of the boxes over to the new house on Saturday and Sunday. We had a fun dinner with Devin at Red Robin on Saturday night. On Sunday evening, as we were packing some or our last boxes, Mom snapped a couple of quick pictures of me in my first home. My first home was TREMENDOUSLY great to my family. Many milestones took place in my first home, and we are all going to miss it very much. Here I am enjoying time on the kitchen floor (one of my favorite places to hang out and look for things to get in to):
My car seat was temporarily moved to the living room to make more room for boxes in the truck:
Mom ended up getting sick the night before moving day (Sunday night). Of all times to get sick! She either had a virus or food poisoning, but she was not feeling well at all. But, first thing Monday morning the moving truck pulled up...and the movers were ready to Rock N Roll. So, Mom had to tough it out and do what she needed to do to help things along.
I was dropped off at daycare and Molly and Moses went to play at Susie's house for the day. Later that evening, we all showed up to our new home. Mom and Dad were wiped! Grandma and Grandpa have been a HUGE help. Grandpa is quite the handy man, and Grandma sure does know how to set up a kitchen!
Enjoying my first meal in my new home:

The past few days have been Busy Busy Busy. Unpacking a million boxes, putting things back together, sorting things, hanging things, baby-proofing things, fixing things, shopping for things, pondering things, appreciating things...and loving the new change! I have been going to daycare late in the morning the past few days, as I make it somewhat difficult for Mom and Dad to be as productive as they need to be. Tonight, we found time to put up the Christmas Tree! I only had 2 toddler break-downs during the tree decorating, as they would not let me tote around glass ornaments or yank the lights off the tree (not safe).
Putting bells on the tree (safe):
"OOoooh. PRETTY!"
We can't believe that tomorrow is the Eve of Christmas Eve! We still have SO much to do. But, we are also finding time here and there to sit back, and take it all in. We are so very fortunate, and super excited to make new memories in our new home. Can't wait for all of you to see it! Hope you are taking a few moments to rest and enjoy the Holiday Season. Until the next update, take care and stay warm!
