Fact: I don't know how to edit photos. So what you see is what comes straight from my camera. I'll learn one day, but for now... deal with it. :)

I figured it's about time you saw bits and pieces of our house. It's just the outside for now. The inside is not so easy to take pictures of. It frequently looks like a tornado has gone through and the angles are always weird, you know?

So this is why I wanted a fenced backyard. I sent Abby out to go play while I did dishes. I didn't even have to worry about weird strangers walking by or Abby escaping down the street.

And best of all, I got to watch her... without her knowing. Kind of creepy, right? ;)

First she stood there shooting her water gun. She shot the windows, the side of the house, the grass, the cement, etc. etc. etc.


Then she decided that her rocking chair needed to join. Best part: as she sits down, she copies Papa Bear--from her Grandma Jenkins' Berenstain Bear book--when he says, "Ah, now I can relax in my easy chair."

She's popping the fruit snacks. Way to relax, girl! She's definitely a happy camper.

And then she saw me. At least she smiled. :)

This is the back of my house. Look at the trees! We're like enclosed in this little world.

And more of my backyard. Space to play! Now we just need a swingset....

And we had to include a Claire. She was sleeping during our outside adventures today.
A box! Best toy ever.

Living room. Coolest furniture. I know you're jealous.

This babe is a mad army crawler. She is FAST. She can do the normal, on-your-knees crawl, but why crawl like that when you can cruise at top speed on your elbows? Exactly.

Loves to you all, family and friends! I'm sad I missed my dad's bday so Happy birthday dad! But we are having an awesome time here and we're so glad that Heavenly Father has given us this opportunity and AMAZING friends to help us survive!

More to come!
