I’ve become a bit of a slacker with pictures recently, and to be honest, I haven’t taken much time to take particularly good quality pictures either. However, there are some pictures from this week that I figure would have ended up on previous posts had I been on the ball. So here they are, with captions, or without, depending on how I feel at the moment. You may have already heard all of the stories, but then I’ll just remind you. Behold! Our first week living somewhere new!
Dekker and I built a rolly cart for in the kitchen together. He was surprisingly helpful!It holds their dishes. Every meal, Dekker (sometimes Laela too) sets their spots at the table. Its adorable, and an easy way for them to help out.Our first night here, Rowan was SO tired! He took a little nap beside me while I blogged in bed before retreating to his own bed.This one time the kids traded hats. Thats about it for that story…..Awkward family pictures at Home Depot. Believe it or not, they were ALL happy and having a good time. It just doesn’t look like it here.Solid effort.Funny faces, as per usualAnd Rowan getting into trouble, which is also common.In the middle of our first week here, we ducked back into the old house one last time, did a last check over, and left for the last time! This is our last photo from our first real home together <3We also got our keys for our new post box, lol! It felt celebratory 🙂Movie night. We LOVED movie night. All of us. It will be a regular occurrence, for sure!Yesterday was closet reno day, where the kids and I hung out in bed and watched Brady work. We earn our keep.Dekker was VERY excited to find the 4 on the tape measure, and informed me that he is, in fact, that many.And today. It began with a bath that was NOT well received.Then the big kids “cleaned” the entrance before we left for the day.And we ended the day on Rowan pulling up on a piece of furniture for the first time ever!!! I know this doesn’t show that, but it happened 🙂 This whole series of pictures of him and this ottoman were all wildly blurry. This was the best I could do!
The end! For today, anyway. Its been a busy, emotional, and truthfully a very overwhelming week. I’m hoping like crazy that things begin to feel more and more normal for all of us. But I am truly looking forward to the upcoming week 🙂 I have a few things planned, not too many but just enough, to help break up the week. And then next week is exciting too! Lots coming up. I promise, these posts will get more entertaining soon!!
Great post! Dad says every picture is a gem!
Thanks 🙂 They definitely depict our first week!
