This ones for you Candice.....

It's been awhile. A long while, it feels like. 
 It's been a very long 5 days but its gone by fast. 
If you know what I mean.
We are officially all moved in, unpacked and back in school. 
The kids love school, our home and have adjusted magically.
I'm still getting used to a new town and not having anyone to put on the
 "emergency contact" sheet at school.
But we've done it before, we can do it again.
By the way, it is DANG cold here.
 Jacket, scarf, gloves and all~that kind of weather. 
But we are nice and toasty (and squished) in our new home. 
Our house in Boise should be up for sale by the beginning of next week, possibly the end of this one. 
(Anyone in the market for a nice, well loved and taken care of home? 
Anyone? Anyone?)
But we really do like our apartment. 
I love being all tight and close together. 
Of course, half of our stuff is in a storage unit but there's less to clean which is GREAT!
We have lots of family time to just chill and relax with no home improvement stuff to do. 
Like tonight we went to Target and got some hot chocolate
which Joshua really enjoyed.
 And apparently we have cable in this house. That's not a good thing cause we do like to watch a little t.v. now and then (ha~maybe just a little too much).
Here we are doing just that:
(in case you were wondering why I seem to always have on a black sweater, which i'm sure your not but i'm going to tell you anyway~ I have like 4 of them, so it's only natural that you would see them a lot.)

So that's it. You should really come up and visit us sometime, anytime, whenever you feel like it. No need to call ahead or plan or do anything of that sort.
We'll be waiting for you.
And in case you can't get here tomorrow, I'll give you a picture tour of the house on my next post.
So exciting....,right?

Hi! I came across your blog through my friend ReAnn's blog. I just so happen to have a friend who is moving to Boise with her family next week and they are still house hunting. Maybe I came across this for a reason! Do you have an MLS number for your house listing that I can forward on to her? You can email me at kim and joey at hotmail dot com. BTW my family and I just moved across the country away from all of our family and friends too, so I feel ya. Good luck with everything!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
