SOLD!!

As of 2:00pm today our house is officially sold.

Now the fun part.... the packing. Joe had a bright idea, we pack all of our belongings and move it ourself since the military will pay us what they would have payed a moving company. We are letting them handle all the heavy furniture though. Well, Joe won't be able to help much since by the time we need to be out of the house (by Aug 18) that is around when his rough draft for his thesis is due. So guess who will be doing all the packing?? Yours truly, with the girls help of course. I plan on letting them play in a box to keep them out of the way. Although I am sure they would be a great help, I think it will help me more to have them out of the way. They would love to help me by eating the wrapping paper.
I told Joe since I am doing most of the work, I get to spend some of that money how I please no questions asked.
Of course our little rug rats are growing fast and getting into everything. They both crawl, pull themselves up to stand, and walk along the furniture. The other day I caught Melody climbing on top of her chair to get onto the couch where Joe left his backpack. I got a great picture of that, I will post it next time since it is still on the camera. Here are some that I have worked on already...


Until next time. I will try and keep up with the pictures, but I can't promise anything. I am still playing catch up since Joe messed with my computer again last week.  Wish me luck with all the packing!

I have fallen Behind!

It has been a while since I posted pictures. Joe has been 'experimenting' with the computer to see what is making it run so slow. He made it so I was not able to do anything with pictures for a few days. I can't believe how far behind you can get in just a matter of days! I am still working on some, but here are the ones I have so far. Hope everyone has a great weekend.


The girls are into EVERYTHING!! Both of them crawl, pull themselves up to stand and walk along the couches and their toys. I am constantly running from one girl to the other trying to stop them from getting into things they know they shouldn't be in. The other day I was recording Melody crawling through a tunnel. You could just see Bethany's backside through the other side. She was standing up at the endertainment center. She turned it on to the radio and started to dance to the music. I could see her little behind bop. I am so glad I got that on video! We are working on getting a website up to post videos, so hang in there.



This week Melody learned something new. If you pat your hand to your mouth and make noise like an indian, then pat her mouth, she makes the same noise. Of course we tried it again the next day and she forgot how to do it.  We notice that they do that sometimes, one day they will do something and then the next day or week they 'forget' that they can do it.
