Finally, some new photos!

I know I haven't been updated any photos for a while, but I promise it's not my fault. The internet being slower than we are used to and Blogger not uploading means no photos. I am trying to make up for it!

Miss Sadie-Mae is the proud new owner of her very first bike! she is completely in love with her Dora tricycle, although she is not quite used to the continuous pedaling yet. She could not wait for our household goods to get her so she could get her Dora helmet to go with the bike. She is such a nut but she looks so cute riding her bike. She did have one accident, she was going too fast down the driveway and tipped. Thank the Lord she had her helmet on because she fell on the side of her head. She wasn't hurt, just a little scared, but she got right back onto her back and pedaled away! Lilly is a pro, she did laps around the cul-de-sac. She had a blast though!
Little Miss Ruby Doobs is smiling away at her Daddy in the photo above. Steven took the kids to the playground so I could have a little time away from all the noise. All 3 kiddos had fun and Daddy even took a lot of pictures for me :)

The girls are in love with Milo and Chance. Lilly, especially, goes after them a little too much, but we're working on it with her. Even Sadie has liked the dog and cat. She usually is terrified of live animals, even those Fur Real Pets. She never ever would go near them, but she has been great with ours and has been petting them and loving on them.
Ruby was fussing because it was tummy time so I turned her towards the TV to distract her and the others followed suit. She was only distracted for a couple of minutes but her sisters jumped into action to distract her again.

We are finally getting settled and Steven is back to work. I'm not so sure if I like this Panama schedule, maybe if he was on days but night shift just plain sucks. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it, or if poor Stevo will. All 5 of us are grouchy if we don't get enough sleep. But we are trying to move past that and not take it out on each other.

Oh, and my car, yea it's still not here. Ugh, this is crazy. I really want it back! And Lilly is going to be 4 tomorrow. I am not so sure I am ok with this. When did she get so big and where did she get her attitude? She can be so sweet though, so I guess it balances out!

It's getting late here, so Happy Easter everyone! Enjoy your day and your families!

It's Here!!!

All of our household goods and unaccompanied baggage arrive this past week. Our girls are in HEAVEN! It was Christmas times 10! Every time they would open a box it was pure joy all over again. I am so happy to have everything back and we are mostly unpacked. The kitchen is a disaster though. I want to wash everything as it comes out of the box and our dishwasher is only so big (pretty small compared to US standards), so I want to do a load of dishes and start hand washing the rest. The same goes for all of our clothes and linens. They came out of the box with a weird smell, not horribly gross, but a tinge from the box. So I will be washing EVERYTHING, and that is going to take a few days. Hopefully we will be completely unpacked and everything hung on the walls by the time Steven goes back to work on Monday night.
The movers in England are another story! They were complete morons when it came to packing. Our bed is on a lift so that you can store things underneath. There is a bunch of screws and pieces of hardware that complete the bed. The bed had to be taken apart to get out of the house and into the crate, so they put random pieces in a lot of random boxes. Steven and I seriously searched for hours trying to find all the pieces. There was even a box with our bed linens and pillows in it and they put ONE piece in there when they all could have easily fit in there together, or they could of wrapped it all in the tissue paper like they did everything else, but no we had to go on a scavenger hunt. They even left on of the bolts to the girls beds at the old house and are lucky Steven found it there and I put it in a bag in my suitcase or one of the girls would not have a bed right now.
Milo is loving the couches. He has been sleeping there instead of our bed. We our LOVING our bed. We haven't slept on anything decent in 2 months so our backs have been killing us. Sleeping in our own bed for 2 nights has already helped, as I am already feeling the difference in my back.
We are just so happy to have everything and move on from this move! Now if only our car would get here, things would just be so peachy :) I'll post some pictures of the house once we are all unpacked, no more boxes and everything is up on the walls.

Meet the Newest Member of Our Family.....

Meet Milo :)
