Funny Family Conversation/ Pics from First Week in our New Home




Jackie + Joanna = trouble - but aren't they cute? They are so funny together.



Whoa- that is a scary bride! She chased Jordan and said, "Watch out, I am going to marry you."



This will be great embarassment material for when they get married :).

Don't you love the wedding dresses? They used men's undershirts. And they even put down a white blanket.





Jackie and Joanna were excited to see monkey bars in our bedroom.



Javi - painting our master bedroom.



This is the girls' room. Thanks Molly and Lana for helping me paint it!



The first night sleeping at our new house. This is Jordan's and the boys' room.



Jordan asked to have a desk in his new room because he said he wanted his room to look "professional" :). This desk was donated to our garage sale and didn't sell, so we were happy to bring it home for Jordan.


Lot's of reading going on.

The other day Julia said, "Mom knows everything because she got "simple naughty" grades!" I said, "what!??!" She said, "Yeah, you know, you got simple naughty grades in college." Janae burst out laughing and said, " Julia, she got Suma cum laude grades, not simple naughty grades!" I was a little confused there for a while. Then Javi said, "yes and back then it was harder because she had to look things up in libraries with encyclopedias, not on computers." Can you believe that my kids had never heard of an encyclopedia!! They are from a generation that has not needed an encyclopedia. Anyways, they asked what an encyclopedia was and we explained and Jordan said, "oh it is like google, google knows everything." Janae said, "I know one thing that google doesn't know." We were stumped. Then she said, "It can't tell you the names that are in the Book of Life." She is one smart girl.

Congrats on the referral, we will be praying. The House looks wondeful for only a week in. You must have been working like crazy. The girl in the "wedding dress" is adorable and yes huge leverage for later in life. We will be watching for the update on the referral until then happy homesettleing.
