Back to October...

We found a few fun ways to celebrate Josh's Birthday while we were still in the midst of finishing our house and waiting for occupancy.

Lunch Date at PF Changs~ Just the two of us.
Dinner, cake, and presents with our little family at Papa's Pizza.
Daddy and Griffin
A few days later we had a party at our new house even though we still couldn't live there. We had running water and carpet, but no heat yet as I recall. It was fun seeing how the house felt with lots of people in it. We unpacked some toys so that the kids could play in Ronan's room, and we all enjoyed just getting to hang out together.

Here's a look at the kitchen~ fully functioning, but not completely finished at this point. (:

Yay Gretchen! It's good to see you catching up with your blog! It might seem overwhelming to catch up, but I think it will be worth it! :)
I suppose I'm a bit biased though because I love reading your blog. :)
