5 on Friday

1. We moved into the condo on Friday!   It was a VERY busy day.   We were moved out of the hotel by 10AM, rental furniture arrived at 2:30PM, and we had Nick's brother's wedding at 6:30PM.  Somewhere in there, I started to get sick and was sick until Saturday evening.

2. Congrats to JAMIE AND JILL LARSON (and boys)!  Welcome to the family, sister-in-law and nephew!  The weather was beautiful for the outdoor ceremony and a good time was had by all.

3. My parent's came down to watch the girls since it was an evening wedding and Ellie goes to bed early (think 7-7:30PM early).   Grandma and Grandpa must have worn both girls out because I woke up at 8:55AM Saturday morning thinking they had been kidnapped since it was so quiet--- seriously, I jumped out of bed and ran into Ellie's room.   Nope, they just slept in (they are ALWAYS up by 7:30AM).

4.  I think my mom said it perfectly when she said that God doesn't give us more than we can handle.   He was watching out for us when He gave us an easy baby,  He must have known what was to come with the fire.  Happy 3-months to our SUPER EASY baby girl, Genevieve! We cannot imagine our lives without you and love you more than you will ever know.

5. We (our insurance) continues to help aide the local economy.   Ellie got a replacement bike trailer (which she LOVES and couldn't wait to use it!), Genevieve got a pack n play (I am a little sad I could not get the one we had before, but the new one works and is a pretty teal color), I got a vacuum (oddly, I am really excited for it) and Nick got a lawn mower (good thing the lawn did not grow that much in 2+ weeks we have been out of the house).   I think Nick was surprised last Friday when I asked to take the car-seats out of the car so I could go shopping.   Good thing I did.
