No Pictures

Wow, I have no new pictures to put up of the things that have been going on in out lives. I am a pathetic picture taker! As much as it is fun to have the pictures and look back on them I just can't figure out that in order to get those pictures I have to SNAP some! Anyway, someday I might get better at it. Brad and Andrea have lived with us for a year now and I have just a handful of pictures of them with or without the boys and none with the four of us-how disappointing.

After a year, Brad and Andrea, have bought a new house (still in Anchorage) and this is moving day. We are excited to have our space back, but we are sad to see them leave. John really needed an office for his business/inventory and with a 1200 sf home we were running out of space really quick. Having the hardest time with the transition of them leaving is Levi. He loves his aunt and uncle and doesn't understand why they need their own house. It's fun to watch his relationship with them; they got so close over the course of a year.

So now that we have some space to move stuff around, we have decided to go through all of our stuff and get rid of anything we are not using. I love throwing things away and making areas neater. As I declutter, I destress! We also have a few house/yard projects planned for this summer and John and I both get excited about improving our home.

But as for now, John is doing some traveling for work. He is traveling to Memphis for a week and then Portland for four days. A few days after he gets back we get to go down to southern california to see our new niece, MacKenzie! We are all so excited to meet her and of course to see Jenna and Bill!

Christmas!

Levi got a piston cup race track for Christmas from "Santa" and he was not excited at all! Emerson got a play tent which he loves! We had a good Christmas spent with family. What a joy it is to see little kids' faces light up when they open a present (more Levi than Emerson).
