Moving Day is Coming

We've had such a great summer! We were actually so lucky because Ryan was home with us the whole summer - so we had a great time swimming & playing! Even though we will miss hanging out with him all day, we felt so blessed when Ryan got a new job a few weeks ago. It is in Salt Lake, so with the new job comes a move, too. It is strange to feel both happy, excited and sad at the same time! We are really excited to have some more space in our new place, but so sad to leave here! Last weekend we moved about half of our stuff up there! Here are some pictures of our new place!
Scooter going down the stairs.
Mommy & Daddy's room.
Lots of grass to run around on outside!
The front room. I love the how the big windows let in lots of light! Plus, it will be nice to be above ground! (Our basement apartment now is actually really nice, but I'm excited to be able to see the world outside the windows, instead of just the window well!)
Kitchen table! This is one thing that I am most excited for - we actually have a kitchen table! Wahoo! And I really love the little bench!
Baby's room!
Going on a walk with Nanny! My mom, dad & Erica came up to help us move our stuff - thanks guys!! It has been just amazing how much everyone has offered to help- in all kinds of ways! It makes you feel good & loved that so many people offer to help!! Thank You!
Scooter's room! His bed has these cool drawers that you can put toys in and a little place perfect for hiding in! His mattress isn't on the bed yet, and he's had tons of fun driving his cars on his bed! I'm not sure what he's going to think when we get the mattress on there!
New recliner! I had asked Ry if we could get a recliner when the baby was born, so I could sit in it to feed him! We ended up getting it a few months early, but that's okay with me! It is so comfortable!

Aw, I love your new place!! I miss you guys SOOOO much. I am so sad because I saw that Ry had messaged me on my computer last night but I wasn't home to see it until later. We have to Skype soon! So happy for you guys!! Lots of love... and for Derek, a fist bump and 'explosion'. :)

K, seriously?! I'm sad already. We didn't play enough! I'm happy that Ryan got a new job, though, and for your new adventures that are ahead of you! Let me know if we can help with the move! (and if you want to do another playdate before you move! Colin's going to be sad Scooter is moving!)

So many changes. Your new place looks great! Are you renting or buying? You'll have to email me your new address so I can send out Christmas cards this year. Congratulations to Ryan and your family!
