Too busy to Blog!?!?

So I mentioned a little about us moving but didn't get to the details. My dad bought a new house that he wanted to use as a rental property. He wanted us to be his renters! The house is just up the street from my parent's house now. Really, it's like 7 houses away! I can see their driveway from my front window! Danny seems excited to move into a house with a lawn again. And he doesn't seem to mind being so close to my parents. He's acually excited about it! Danny's dad and Evelyn also live in the same neighborhood. It's probably about a ten minute walk. Then my cousins June and Sal, Teresa, and her girls live just up the street from us. Probably a five minute walk! It'll be great to be so close to all the family. We're always in the neighborhood for one event or another anyway. Now we can save some money with those outrageous gas prices!!! My mom seems excited for the day when we can call her and say that Bronwyn is coming over and she can walk out on her front lawn and watch Bronwyn make it safely down the street!

My parents closed on the house a few weeks ago and we've been cleaning and painting and getting it ready since then. The house was in foreclosure so it has not exactly been well kept over the last year. It sure has been alot of work but my dad is really helping us out and letting us "customize" a few things for the inside. We're mostly done on the inside of the house. We'll be moving in over the next week. We have moved 4 times since we have been married but this time is so much more exhausting. Having done all the other work, I am running out of steam! And this time we have a whole extra person to move! Why didn't we stay put until Bronwyn was old enough to move herself??? She trying to help though.


This picture is of a box she packed herself... I guess she's got the necessities! Her juice cup, a snack cup, some books, and of course... Daphney!




My pictures are not quite good enough for Bronwyn anymore... now after I get one shot taken she tries to get the camera. Luckily she has not found out how to actually take the pictures yet!

Her room has pretty much been the focus at the new house. If there is one room I want to be perfectly perfect, it's hers! I want to create her a little "Butterfly Garden"... at least that's what I'm calling it! The walls are done, I added a few pictures of the progress it took to get there! My dad did all the paneling and right now he is working on making a bench seat the goes the length of one wall. It's going to have two toyboxes and a bookself under the bench.

I sure am lucky to have a dad that knows how to do so much woodworking. I just gave him my idea and he's taking care of the rest!!!

We're working real hard to get moved in! We'll takes lots of pictures once we are settled and decorated!
