We've moved!!

Finally! We moved out of our rental house. We are now permanent residents of Alabama. We closed on our house Tuesday November 20th. We moved a few things that week and even had Thanksgiving dinner here. Josh's parents came and helped us get most of our big stuff that weekend. Then the next week, we all got a rotten, horrible stomach virus. So we were sidelined for a good week. Yuk. We're finally all feeling better and hoping to get everything else here by this weekend. We love it. Sophie has a much bigger room and so does G.G.. There is a room for the new baby and a guest bedroom.
Below are just a few pictures of the girls playing in the yard.





The neighborhood is on a ridge, I guess, so it is very hilly. Our front yard is a big hill. The picture above is G.G. running down the hill. She LOVES to be outside and run down the yard. She usually falls and rolls a little at the end. I think that is her favorite part.

Christmas Parade

We went to our town's local Christmas Parade last Saturday. We moved here last year after the parade had already happened so we were very excited to go this year. We went to eat lunch at a deli in the historic section of town. Sort of our small town "downtown". We decided just to walk and see the parade from that area. It was the end of the parade route. We were standing and waiting and this local art store owner had two chairs set up and we were standing behind them ( in front of his store). He was very nice and offered one of his chairs to me. Being pregnant, I took it and thanked him very much. Anyway, throughout the whole parade, he would ask Sophie to run and get him candy that the parade participants had thrown to the crowd. At one point even, he was going for a piece of candy and a little girl ran over and got it. He made her give it to him. Definitely a different sort of guy. Funny to watch though. We did have a good time and we saw several of Sophie's friends in the parade.
