Randomness of January

On top of birthdays, moving, and starting back to school,we managed to fit a few more things in our month.  EL lost a tooth. 

 Auntie Kat is always happy to be a customer at the hair shop. Poor Papa was probably begging for his to be done from the couch. EL is a fickle one.

 Indoor soccer. Because it is always soccer season.

 Rocking some good grades.

 Grandma & Papa's house and fridge are less full.

 Our mailbox is in the middle of our driveway. I am guessing this isn't the last time we have to put it back up.

 I failed at working the new fancy oven. Note to self: top oven is convection.

 And we had lunch with Em and Ohma at Steak N Shake

21st Birthday for KM

I was pretty excited to get to spend my little sister's 21st birthday with her. We loaded up the Burbon and headed South to celebrate. KM  & J were great hosts and we had a fun weekend. 

 Matt held the fort down back home with the kids. 

New House!

First night in our new home!

Silly

We were in between living at my parents and our new house. I really wanted to take advantage of not having to move in with our stuff. I was working on getting everything organinzed and unpacked before the chaos that is our lives added to the mess. My mom was a huge help! Cleaning, unpacking, helping with the kids, whatever we needed.

Road Trip To STL

When I was designing the new house, I knew I didn't need a formal dining room. I wanted a large kitchen table so we could use our every day tale when we have guests. I found a table at Costco here locally. Kept looking at it. Still liked it every time. Decided to buy it, it was gone. And now I had my heart set on it. So, I tracked one down. At Costco, outside of STL. I borrowed the Burbon. Dropped the kids off at school and I hit the road. Costco had it waiting for me, helped me load it (just fit) and I was on my way. Being in STL, I had to stop to pick up some coffee cakes and pop into IKEA. Successful day and back in time to pick up the kids!
