The Move

Early October 29th we loaded up and said goodbye to Georgia and headed up to Missouri.

The drive was uneventful - which is wonderful when your travelling with 4 kids, a baby and a cat. And your husband is driving a 28 foot truck and pulling a trailer!


We slept on the floor that night and the next morning we return the trucks, picked up Tyler's car from the airport. It was raining and cold, we had nothing in the house to sit on, play with, or eat (I hadn't gotten my refrigerator delivered yet) so we went to Golden Coral - not my favorite - and the kids had a blast.

That night, the 30th, members of the ward came and helped us unload. We all had mattresses to sleep on that night, even if we didn't have sheets or pillows.

The 31st was spent putting the house together and my refrigerator was delivered! Yay, food!


It took us a few more weeks to get moved in, it took three weeks for my washer and dryer to be delivered - horrible! I actually had to go to a laundry mat - that didn't have quarters - at 4:30 in the morning!



Soon after getting moved in it was time for Thanksgiving and Christmas. So here it is January 2nd and I still haven't unpacked and put things away yet - but, there is no rush and we'll get too it!






Owen Before the Move

Toothless

The tooth fairy is broke. I think this was all in a week period - Topher lost two teeth as well within a month of these pictures.




Georgia

This is just a smattering of pictures from the end of fall in Georgia. And of course, there are way too many pictures of critters, but it's Georgia...
August being August

Dead crow the kids found.

Farwell dinner of lobster and low country boil. Trip to the rodeo.
Cirque de Soleil

Tyler spooked the poor fellow - but what was he doing with the feather before?
Brothers!
 Make over day!
 More dead crow.
 Too stubborn to go to bed in bed.
 Cousins!
 Five of them!
 Pensacola fishing in a hurricane
 August is flirting. His favorite movie right now - Wonder Woman...
 Aunts!
 Mimis!
 Lots of games.

 More rodeo.
  Pensacola fishing!


Guardians - Topher's Soccer

Topher also played soccer this past fall season - it was a lot of fun to watch him grow as a player. He is pays attention to the field and has many wonderful passes; but he doesn't pass too much because he scored most every game! I didn't get many pictures though, because Tyler was in Missouri for a bulk of the season and I was holding little man Owen.
