follow me, okay?!

Bestill my heart...the girl likes dirt!
Amelia has been building 'trains' across the living room- see Aven making her escape?She is finally starting to eat some food that does not come from mama...she must be growing those giant teeth for something!
Beneath five layers of wallpaper and three layers of paint...and one very old roll of blue carpet lies...our new bedroom!

And our lovely new office...don't mind the staples still in the floor- it's a work in progress...do notice the giant lilac bush outside the window...I've planted baby lilacs everywhere I've lived and always moved before they'd grown much...this house is surrounded by gigantic, old lilac bushes-prepare for some pictures...This is the view from the side porch of our new house...
And this is how we have been moving- who needs a uhaul? I drove this beast over the pass, turned it around in our tiny driveway, unhooked the trailer to drive to town, hooked the thing back up, and drove back over the pass...and found wide spots along the highway to pull over so my two-year-old could stop and pee! Hardcore Montana Woman?...umm, yes!
This is probably exciting to very few...the first lettuce from the coldframe is picked for Mike's lunch.. "Come on guys, let's go, follow me, okay?!"

The Beginning...?

Of sibling rivalry?We were driving down the road the other day when Amelia saw three hills out the window...

"Mama, that's a mama hill, a big girl hill, and a baby hill...

The big girl hill says: 'mama, pick me up,'

the mama hill says: I can't pick you up, I'm carrying the baby hill,'

and the baby hill just says 'bah, bah, bah...'"

New Moves and Some Catching Up

So much for March...ahem...here it is the middle of April!

I can give you the highlights: Fabulous vacation in February- PA, NJ, FL, Bonaire, very little sleep and lots of (ahem) flexibility and forgiveness on all sides (sorry about that passport issue, Mike!) but a great trip!
I'll be back soon, I promise! With the latest on our big move...
