Our New Home :)

5 weeks later and I think we are close to settling in. We love our new home. I took these pictures this morning. I have been sick for 3 days, so not all the rooms were picture worthy today :) This is our dining area. The doors lead out to a deck overlooking our backyard. The counter you see to the right is part of the kitchen {not picture worthy}.

I am standing at the front door in this picture. We are still deciding what to put on the walls. I hope to get a matching frame {if Target ever restocks!} to put on the other side of the shelf with the Christus. Down the hall is a closet and the half bath. To the left of those are the stairs going down to the basement and up the second floor.

This is the other half of our front room. We are looking for a rug to go under the furniture. Mike wants shag and I want oriental...hmm.

Announcing...Annie {our Anna Banana}

Our beautiful little girl. She's a very lanky one year old. She follows Henry everywhere! It's so cute. If they are in the backyard together, she won't come in until he does.

Almost back...

What a crazy two months! I think some people thought there was something wrong. If I'm not blogging, I must be sick :) We have had a very busy couple months. As mentioned before, Mike finished school {for now at least} in December. A couple days before that we had an offer on a house accepted. Christmas was nice, especially with Henry at this age! We closed on the house on January 16th. We spent the next week painting, my brother-in-law and sister did most of the work...THANK YOU! We have been moving in and settling for the past couple weeks. We love our new home. Meanwhile, I really haven't had internet access to be able to post {or really the time either}. We got our new computer last night and we should have internet later in the week. I'll be posting lots of pictures soon. The most recent exciting event has been the edition of our new baby girl... a one year old female doberman! She has melted our hearts...wait until you see her!

Daddy's JMU Graduation

YAY Mike! We are so excited and proud of Daddy. Mike graduated from James Madison University in December with a degree in accounting. We were sitting where the graduates would line up to walk across stage. When Henry saw Mike he got so excited and wanted to be with him. It was pretty cute!

This is Mike and the Dean of the College of Business. Mike served on the Student Advisory Counsel with 10 of his peers. He spent a lot of time with Dean Reid and enjoyed his experience with the group.

JMU vs. VillaNova

Our beloved Duke Dog. Henry loves this guy. What's not to love. J-M-U wish you had a Duke Dog!

This crazy guy ran out after every JMU score. Covered in bright green spandex from head to toe. It's definitely a good thing that people couldn't tell who he was. Spandex is not very flattering, especially for a guy! Yuck!

These boots are made for walkin'

I saw these rainboots before Henry was born and I loved them! My Dad bought them for Henry when he was born. I was very excited for the day to come that he could wear them. He still has lots of growing room, but I can't believe my little baby is big enough to wear what seemed like huge boots when we got them.

JMU vs. Wofford

JMU was in the national playoffs again this year. It was extra exciting for us because they were ranked #1 and had home field advantage! Every touchdown was accompanied by purple and gold steamers everywhere.

The JMU quarterback is pretty fun to watch. #7, Rodney Landers, can do it all.

The JMU Marching Royal Dukes are a prestigious program. They were in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2 days before this game. They are pretty impressive.
