Whew - Glad that is settled!

I took a break from updating our family blog so that I could use all my spare time to get the house ready. But we are back at it again as we are finally "settled" into our new house in Pittsburg. It feels good to have things in their places, boxes unpacked (for the most part) and pictures up so the place feels like HOME. The kids have adjusted really well and love being so close to family in Galena.

Nicholas has already had a sleepover with Colton (Sammie's cousin Shannon's little boy) and is asking for another one. I have a feeling those two will be thick as thieves...wonder what they have in store for us? Here is a recent picture of the boys when they came downstairs after playing dress-up in the playroom.

Not long after this picture was taken, there was a scuffle in Nick's bedroom and I heard a large crash which could only be a body falling from the top bunk. The thud was quickly followed by a high-pitched scream belonging to Natalie. Long story short it appears her collar bone is broken. She will heal up soon - and probably run right back up the ladder to the top bunk!

Kids make things interesting that is for sure!
