7 Months Old!

Here are our seven month photo shoots with the bear! As you can see, both Anna and Charlie were more interested in eating the bear's nose than posing for the camera. Charlie and Anna continue to amaze me. Charlie wants more than anything to be 'big' like his big sis. He loves watching her bounce off the walls and delights in her attention. Anna moved into the pre-school room at daycare and continues to love her school and her friends. On the weekends, she's disappointed to learn that she'll be stuck with mommy and daddy for not one, but two entire days.

This month, we've been busy packing up for our new house. Anna's room is the only room that has anything resembling a normal space left in the house. We are all really excited for the move, as the new house has a real kitchen (!) and a nice big yard and a real play room for the kids. I am torn between being very sad to leave behind our neighborhood that is packed with children and a set of friends that I consider family and the excitement of new beginnings. We've been busy looking at furniture, picking out carpet and paint colors and cannot wait to actually move. Our house is filled with boxes and we've been eating off of the same three plates for a few weeks. We move out next Thursday and then move in with my dad for a week while we are waiting for our house to get ready.
