I can't believe that is has already been 3 weeks since Adison was born. Just a few things have happened since then....bought a house, packed a house, cleaned out a house, moved into a new house, unpacked a new house, and now continue to settle in. Fortunately, for the most part things have gone pretty smoothly. The absolute lifesaver in all of this, is that Jeff is off of work on paternity leave so he has been able to help every step of the way. The previous moves he hasn't been able to take off as much time, so I have definitely been spoiled this time around. Here is a quick update on what each member of our family has been up to:
Jeff: Off work for 5 weeks on paid paternity leave, helping his wife immensely, studying and preparing for his new job, serving as branch president until this Sunday, and starting work on our unfinished basement.
Alisha: Mother of 4, missing her old house and friends, excited about her new house and friends, and still adjusting!
Bayley: Loving her new school, sad to leave good friends in Oxford, loving having her own room in the new house, and definitely loves living in a BIG city!
Kendal: Loves her new school and the boys in her class, was sad to miss the last couple of soccer games in Oxford, excited about having her own room (not as much as Bayley), still loves helping with Adison any chance she gets.
Trey: Our neglected 3 year old, has spent way TOO MUCH time watching tv in the last 3 weeks, is ready to get out of the house and start doing normal things, and loves his little sister!
Adison: Is a great baby (thank goodness), is probably the most alert baby I have had, is very loved by her entire family, was blessed last Sunday, gaining weight and eating good, and her mom will do a better job of taking pictures now that things are settling down!

My goodness! You HAVE had such a busy month! Adison is just gorgeous, and I can't stop thinking that she looks EXACTLY like Bayley (she has her mouth!).
So glad that you have Jeff's help! How cool that he was able to do that!!!
We still can't wait to see photots of your house. :)
You survived moving with a newborn. I'm impressed! And VERY glad Jeff could stay home and help. We're excited for you guys - post pictures of the house when you can!
Wow...sounds like an adventure. That is really cool that Jeff could take Paternity leave to help out! Sounds like everyone is happy with the move and doing well...keep the pictures coming!
We miss you guys! Glad things are going well though. Adison's blessing was such a sweet experience, we're glad we got to partake of that Spirit.
I thought it was crazy trying to move during the 1st week of school, but you have me beat hands down. Holy buckets! Thanks for sharing the pics. Hope your feeling settled soon.
I feel so bad for you. What a rough few weeks. You are definitely a trooper though. I'm hoping you have a few smooth weeks and can get some rest! I wish we lived closer so I could take your kids for an afternoon!
I'm glad you're getting settled. Jeff said the girls are really liking their school. sigh. I'm tearing up though realizing again that you are not here any more. ugh. love ya.
