Ten Years And Counting

Elizabeth celebrated her 10th birthday party this week. She invited a couple of friends to go with her to the local beauty college to have their hair and nails done. They seem to have had a lot of fun and they all looked cute! Megan has been begging for a girls spa visit so this killed two birds with one stone.

In other news we are officially homeless or at least homefree! Our house in Alaska sold. We are so grateful to be relieved of this debt. Now I spend a lot of time looking for homes. I had a realtor take me looking pretty much every day this week. We thought we had found the one but then found out someone else had a contract on it already.... the listing agent hadn't told anyone. My heart was broken but we are moving on. We may end up building on a lot just out of town instead.

We spent a good deal of time outside yesterday. It was sunny and warm!!!! After three years in Alaska it felt like summer to us. Johnny cleaned his bikes while the kids rode their scooters around the neighborhood. It really was nice.
Megan felt beautiful. You could tell by the way she held her head....
Lizzie seems to have graduated from toys... Here is a watch....
and a pair of shoes she bought with money from Grandma. She really loves shoes!
For Christmas Santa brought a bunch of musical instruments. Drums, a mini piano, paperjams etc.... The kids really have a good time with them!

  1. Very cute. I still haven't seen Lizzie's pierced ears though. Megan's hair is so pretty. We are planning to stop in Cedar on our way home from Disneyland. Maybe we can go to dinner or something. We miss you guys!
