so so much

I didn't realize it's been so long since I've wrote. So much has changed. (picture overload)

Burklee turned 3. We had an outdoor movie birthday party in our "lot". Allan made a big outdoor screen, we had hotdogs, popcorn, rootbeer floats, and popcorn cupcakes. He is now potty trained and working on sharing. Hopefully he starts preschool in January. He loves Thomas the Train, Diego, and Dora.

Bartelbe turned 1 this last weekend. We had a halloween themed party. Lunch was lasagna, garlic bread, fruit, witch's hair (twizlers), pumpkin guts (candy corn), earwax qtips (chocolate dipped marshmallows on a stick), and mummy cupcakes. We also carved and decorated pumpkins and he didn't care too much about opening gifts. He now walks and waves goodbye and chases his brother around to get his toys back.

He had a beautiful baby girl..Bridget Louise. She weighed in at 7lbs, 5oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Just this week, she has started looking at faces and smiling. She has always laughed. When she was a week old, it woke me. I thought she was choking but she was laughing and I figured it was something else because I had never heard of a baby laughing that early. But she has continued to do it..although its a lot louder now.

We sold our house in Salina and bought a new one in Concordia. We are going from our rental, one story, 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, no basement to a 3 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath, half finished basement that could fit another 2 rooms. I cannot wait! All the houses we were looking at in our price range needed gutting or a lot of remodeling. This one was just over our budget but with our offer, put it back under. It was completely remodeled with paint, flooring, cabinets, and appliances. They even moved a wall in the dining room to add a  nice sized closet in the bathroom. I can't wait to finally decorate the kids' room. We spend 5 months decorating Burklee's when he was born, but since we were living in our rental for Bartelbe and Bridget, we decided to put it off. We have put a little work into the rental so hopefully can get someone in here as soon as we're out. We are planning on siding and adding new flooring next spring.

Not sure why I don't have a picture of the outside..but it sits on the side of a hill so you pull up to the garage and go up stairs to get to the front door.

Hallway. Bathroom first door on the right. Boys' room straight ahead. Our room and bridget's room to the left.
