Weekly Review

She sleeps, she eats, she makes a big mess! This is Katie Anne these days, sleeps hard, plays hard! She is such a happy baby and is the only one of us oblivious to all the stress. I'm glad she is just rolling with the punches! Jane is doing pretty good at cleaning up after her :) until she's asked to. Jane follows me around all day and asks if we're taking this or that to Ootah. She's figuring things out in her own little way.



But there is more to life than the move, there's also the sell! We've had the house on the market for a week now and had about 7 people come through. Most of the time we have plenty of time to get the house ship shape but one night I had dinner started. Well, I cooked the breadsticks (Cocoa's recipe), ditched the rest and went to Arby's. We were hoping that our terrible experience there would translate into a sold house but not yet!

In the above pictures...Jane is too big for the baby swing! Simon and Jeffrey enjoy a treat. We are really going to miss Simon, he is such a hoot! (No tears, Loulie!) Then we found this big bug on Katie Anne's blanket, which she tried to eat. It's legs were stuck on the material and it couldn't move. We got it off and Jeffrey is then showing us the bugs belly, shiny and iridescent, which is more than I can say for mine! While we were outside John came home from a neighbors pool where he had been working on requirements with the scouts. He showed me the nice spot on his head where he had cracked it open when he slipped and fell backwards onto the cement. Luckily it wasn't worse but he was sore for a few days.
So, that's life!

Ouch!! That's for the cracked open head!

Oooo, yuck!! That's for the bug eating!

I love all of your updates! Good luck with selling your house!

KA is soo cute! When she's asleep and when she's awake :). We too are trying Cocoa's bread sticks recipe this week! Hopefully one of these days you'll get a bite on your house offer!

Katie Ann is just the cutest!! We can hardly wait to see her again in Ootah! Love the rest of the pictures, too - big bug.

Having bugs like that crawling around my house would be reason enough to pick up and move. I'm sure there has never been a bug like that in Utah.

Just for clarification...the bug was OUTSIDE! :) I don't think I would have taken too kindly too it being INSIDE!

Fun pictures. Did Jeffery save the bug? Good this KA didn't eat it. That would be an entirely different kind of post!

I'm glad you are still recognizing some joy in life during all the craziness.

Doh!!

Cute pictures!

We have seen those bugs around, they are pretty interesting, but I think KA wouldn't have liked the taste.

Sorry I haven't been blurking for awhile! Sorry about the fridge and everything else. Hope the trip to Ootah is a good one and everything goes great!
