A long overdue post

Well a lot has happened since our last post (a long long time ago). Tax season is over and we are almost completely unpacked. It's amazing how much slower that process goes when you have two little people helping out! I think the girls are loving the new place, where they are now sharing a room (because we thought it would be more fun). Bedtime has become a little more challenging but it's so fun to listen to Carly entertain Molly.

Well let's get started, here's a brief review of what we've been doing over the past several weeks.

Phase one of the move.


Molly taking a break from all that unpacking to enjoy a book.


When Carly was younger she used to love to climb in this thing. Apparently now she decided to share the fun with Molly.


Molly seems a little skeptical.


"why are we in here?"


Do you see a theme here?


Crazy bath hair


Carly showing daddy her owie. He didn't quite get the picture in time.....but can you tell who's daughter she is?


Cheap entertainment.


Carly helps out with snow removal from our April snow storm.


The girls LOVE their new play area.

After a few rough weeks of sleepless teething nights, Molly now has 3 new top teeth. She loves to chew on everything (including us). She also loves to eat anything she gets to feed herself. Here she is in the early days enjoying some cheese.


More playtime.

Ready to color some Easter eggs.


Are they ready yet?


Looks like Molly's done.


Easter dresses take one.


and take two.


Helping Daddy make waffles for Easter breakfast. The jelly beans are not for the waffles, just a snack while you're working.


It was nice enough on Easter we made a little trip to the park. Here's Molly enjoying her first time in the swing.


The Easter bunny brought Carly some new water colors and finger paints. Interestingly, Jason was the only person whose (work) clothes were covered in finger paint when this event was over.


Molly showing off her standing skills.


We were very excited that our new house has a dishwasher. We had no idea how much Molly would love it.


Speaking of loving things. The yard at the new place is significantly larger than our last house so of course we needed a new mower. Jason took a break from sitting on this only long enough for Molly to have a try. She's a natural.


Uncle Andrew, Bakka and some of their friends came up the end of April to go with Jason to a big swap meet and look at tractor stuff. The girls stayed home, but Bakka found some time to spend with his favorite MN girls.


It was Bakka's birthday so Carly helped make him a cake.


It was so fun to have our first visitors.


Well that's all I have for now, but there is more to come. Aunt Jenn and Nick were here last weekend. Aunt Megan, Uncle Brian and Cassidy are coming this weekend (only one more sleep!) so there will be plenty more pictures to share.
