So, life has been busy lately. We have had a whirlwind few months! So I am going to spare you ALL the details (because there are a lot) and proceed with a TOP 10 of Happenings (but more in chronological order than order of importance):1. We moved! Still getting settled, but happy to be here.
2. Became landlords again. But first had to replace laundry room floor in said unit after we discovered a valve had been leaking for almost a week following the removal of our washing machine, necessitating a complete removal of floor and sub floor.
3. Prepared for the Holidays, and had a "pre" Christmas Morning before we flew to CA for 2 weeks.
4. Enjoyed Christmas with Ryan's family and attended the baby blessing of little Madelyn.
5. Upon returning from our trip, jumped right back in the saddle with my little sister's wedding and another trip to Colorado. I acted as florist and co-wedding planner, and even got the opportunity to littleraly chase down the FedEx man! It wouldn't be a wedding without some stress though right?
6. Celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary with an overnighter and dinner at a wonderful spanish restuarant!
7. Alli turned 3!
8. Jacob can now crawl up AND down the stairs all by himself, so my life just got much easier!
9. We had a terriffic "Valentime's Day" (as Alli calls it)! Ryan made me breakfast in bed with a vase of flowers and then I made a romantic candelit dinner that night. We gave Alli a teddy bear that she now adores. When I gave it to her, I brought her into our bedroom and had her stand outside my closet door and close her eyes while I retieved the gift from inside the closet. She was so excited! The next morning she brought me in and made me stand outside the closet and close MY eyes while she got me my "Valentime". Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything suitable (which I figured). I did however find several shoes strewn on the floor later, as if they had been a consideration. It was so darling.! Alli is so sweet and loving. She loves to be affectionate and cuddly lately.
She surprises me often with her compliments and thoughtful gestures, like the other day when she told me I was " a good cooker". The best part is that I know she really means them, which goes a long way when you are feeling guilty about just making Mac n' cheese for dinner, but too tired to do anything else. Anyway....
10. We unpacked and hung on the wall at least two pictures that hadn't been touched since I packed them for THE LAST MOVE, over a year ago! Hooray!!
Thank you Eve (& Grandma) for these!!! What would we do without all of your thoughtful gestures, time, and love for our family!? We certainly wouldn't be nearly as stylish at next years football game! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Jon will be so pleased to see his GQ pose at the temple!
Great job on the flowers. I did hope to get more details about the wedding, but the pix are really nice. Congrats on hanging pix. THAT is a big step in making it feel more like home.
I'm not sure if you remember me. But I'm Kelli Hebein (Huff) from Montrose. I think your blog is so cute!! I hope you don't mind me checking it out. Your little ones are adorable! Sounds like you have had a super busy past few months, I hope things slow down!

So happy to hear about all your fun family "adventures". How nice to try to keep "updated" through these blogs. I figured you guys must be very busy lately. The pics are fabulous and it looks like you all have been having some great family time together over the past few months.
