Movin' out

This past weekend, after getting home from our trip, we did a bunch of packing and moving and still have a bit more to do so haven't gotten around to going through pictures from our trip. We have to be out of our house this coming weekend! However, in spite of all the craziness I just had to post this pic of Gretta helping as much as she can by dusting the floors. I have to remember, that even with all the chaos going on around our house right now, to take some time to enjoy all these new things she is learning and doing. She is handling all this stuff so well!

Blaahgin' from Bahston

We're out east right now, we came out for the wedding of John and Eileen, John being Josh's cousin. We'll give a full recap of our trip when we get home, which included a drive up to Vermont, but for now here are a couple pictures and a little video of Gretta dancing at the wedding, she had a BALL!!



All dressed up for the party.....herself! Note the 2 different shoes and Jess's swimsuit top, what a nice combo.



All dressed up for the party, with a dress from Auntie Molly and Uncle Elden.

Funny faced girl

So grown up.....

Pigtails

Finally got Gretta's hair up in some pigtails and did a little photo shoot, she tolerated them quite well!


Thanks for this cute outfit Sara and Brian!

24 Hours

That is how long it took to sell our house! Which explains the whirlwind of a week last week and I know what you really want is new pictures and here are some......of the house! Now that we don't have house stuff to do I might have some time to get some newer ones of Gretta to share since we all know that's really what you want to see. We have not found a new house yet, so we will probably be moving in with Meghan and Joel for a while because we will be closing on the sale of our house on August 31 if all goes smoothly.....we'll keep you updated!

We'll miss the house, there are lots of memories for sure, but it will be so much fun to be in a new house with some more room and what we're most looking forward to is a bigger kitchen and a place to sit down and eat!

Projects and cabin

Josh has been in Bangkok the last couple of weeks and I have been pretty busy working on house projects whenever Gretta is sleeping. So that has meant not a lot of time taking pictures or updating this blog. I won't even bore you with the list of things I've been working on. That brings us to the big news of why we're doing so many house projects.........We're going to put our house up for sale and see what happens. We've been wanting a bigger house for a while now so we figured it's worth a try.

However, this past weekend I took a break and went up to my parents cabin with Gretta, my parents and both my grandmas.....it wasn't great weather, but we had a nice time hearing stories about the "old days", playing cards, eating lots of good food and going for walks.

On the boat, thought it was a cute/funny pose




We also stopped by my Aunt Julie and Uncle Nate's house on our way back home and Gretta got to play and take a ride with Sarah, who is my 5-year-old cousin, not sure what that makes the two of them to eachother though.



Josh gets home Saturday and we are really looking forward to seeing him again!
It was our 3 year anniversary on Tuesday and our first anniversary apart. We will have to celebrate when he gets home. He did send me some beautiful flowers that are seen all over Thailand so he sent a little piece of where he was. Thanks Honey!!

Summer's going fast

Got into the baggies....she loves to unpack things or empty things.


They got revenge by sticking to her feet.


Bath time





She decided to dunk herself the other night by putting her face down in the water, she loved it and kept doing it, which is how I caught a picture of it.


On her way to water the plants


Little gardener, she's getting very good at imitating.






Oops....little dirt in the mouth











Having so much fun in her dress from Dave and Sarah, so CUTE!
