In transition…

Here are a few pictures of our last weekend in our house.  We decided that we would all sleep together down in the living room since it was our last Saturday night at Ridge View so we made a pallet, had popcorn, watched the UK game, and snuggled up.  Addi went to sleep in my arms but when we all laid down on the floor, we decided that we didn't want to have aching backs the next morning since we had so much work to do the next day!  Here are a few pics from the last few days in our house!

Addi enjoyed playing with all of the newspaper I was using to wrap the breakables!

Well, we have been living in transition with Craig's parents for a week now and it really hasn’t been bad.  We are very cramped in our bedroom because of all of our clothes, shoes, etc… but other than that, we are doing fine.

After the first night of Craig, Addison, and me trying to sleep in a full-size bed, we pulled out an air mattress and Craig has been sleeping on that ever since—smooth sailing from then on.  Austin has his own bedroom and has settled in very well which is no surprise since he is at his “home away from home.”

There is a nice park in the subdivision that we have taken Addi to and there is plenty of space in the back yard for her to play and use her sidewalk chalk.  They have even mounted her swing in their back yard so that she has her swing.

It’s obvious that the kids are loving the extra “nana” and “papaw” time that they are getting and Ruth has been wonderful about cooking for us (which is no surprise).  Roy has been helping Craig out at the new house a lot so we have been very blessed. 

Austin spent Thursday thru Saturday night in Nashville with his show choir group.  They went to Show Choir Nationals and performed at the Grand Ole’ Opry and stayed in the Opryland Hotel for 3 nights. They also went to the Wild Horse Saloon, Opry Mills Mall, and sang at a local church on Sunday morning.  They got back Sunday evening—he had a great time!  Here are some pictures of his group during dress rehearsal before they left for Nashville!

After Austin came home, we spent the evening coloring Easter eggs.  This was Addi’s first experience doing this and she really seemed to enjoy it.  She even ate one of them that had cracked which really surprised me since she is such a picky eater!!

Daddy had more fun than Addi did!

The finished products!

We had to color one for UK (of course) in celebration of their defeat over Louisville in the Final Four.  We are looking forward to them playing Kansas in the championship game on Monday night!!  Go CATS!! 

Here's a current picture of our house!  It's almost done!  Probably another week and it will be done!

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY…

After a beautiful Friday and Saturday, we were excited about another beautiful day on Sunday—at least that is what the forecast told us.  Sunny, with a high of 79 and less than 5% chance of rain.  Yippee—perfect weather for our Palm Sunday service at church that was going to be held outside along with the fun-filled festivities after church which included a cook-out, Easter egg hunt, inflatables, games, etc…

Well, the forecast was dead wrong and the rain poured!!  L  Church was held inside and we did manage to get the Easter egg hunt in after church but that’s about it!  Addi loved it even though her feet were cold and wet (she was wearing Crocs) and all of the eggs were wet and had grass sticking to them! 

Craig thought they were asking for volunteers for a PIZZA-eating contest.  I pushed him toward the table since he’s such a big eater and he was happy to volunteer since he was starving.  Turns out—they were looking for volunteers for a PEEP-eating contest.  Marshmallow PEEPS!!  LOL!!!  He HATES marshmallows!!  Oh well, too late.  He was already in—no turning back now!  He didn’t win—if it had been pizza, no doubt he would have though!

After that, it was starting to drizzle more, so we left and ate at KFC on the way home.  On the way into KFC, it was just a drizzle, but on the way out, it was POURING.  We were soaked and it was a very cold rain.  Sometimes, you’ve just gotta laugh.

When we got home, Addi and I snuggled up and took a nap while Craig went to the new house to work!
