Lots of Visitors

We closed on our new house last Friday and what a crazy week it's been!! We're updating/changing a lot of the interior of the house so we've had lots of help from our families getting it accomplished. My parents, brother, and nephew all came last weekend and helped us rip the carpet and padding out, pull up the tack strips, and take down the curtains and blinds to prepare for painting. My mom and nephew stayed with us into the week and helped us paint which was such a blessing. We got so much done with their help. Michael's dad is here this weekend helping us put down hardwood flooring and replace light fixtures as well as some other small jobs. What a blessing it is to be close to family again! Their support and prayers are priceless!! The Lord has definitely had His hand involved in getting things done smoothly. We also appreciate the help from friends who've watched Anna this past week. The house is definitely not toddler-friendly right now. We plan to move in the weekend of April 21st so we're working hard to get the house ready. Anna is going to miss having family stay with us. On Monday it'll be back to just boring 'ol mom at home with her. Poor girl! :0) Mom and dad brought Anna a wagon that my sister no longer wanted and she had the best time going for rides in the backyard last weekend when the weather was nice. Too bad it had to turn cold again. She asks to go outside everyday but the wind chill has just been too cold the past few days. Hopefully we'll get some warmer weather soon.

Mom (Grandma) and Wesley defintely got their exercise in for the day!

Anna was so excited to see all of our family especially Uncle Nate. She'll really love having him close next year when he moves here to the same city for college. I see some date nights in our future as we'll have a great babysitter close by. :0)
