We've moved!

Sorry it has taken forever to update!  We have officially moved and we are busy getting settled in the new house.  So far the we have adjusted very well and we are loving our new home.  The move went very smooth other then the fact it was A LOT of work!  Thanks to everyone who helped, we couldn't have done it without you!  It's been so wonderful having family close by now.  Kara is really getting to know her Grandparents which is so great.  
Kara has adjusted very well and was very busy exploring the new house the first week.  We have stairs now which really made me nervous at first but thanks to Grandma K, she taught her how to go down on her tummy the day we moved in.  So that's been a relief!  She still likes to go upstairs when I'm not looking and then I hear her little feet upstairs.  She's very very active and it's hard to keep track of her!  I pretty much had no choice but to unpack as soon as possible just so she would stop getting into everything.   
Here are some recent pictures of Kara from the past few days.  I know some of you would love to see pictures of the house but I don't really want to advertise my house to some stranger out there!  That just means you'll have to come visit and see! 

 Tom and his brothers had to get the eliptical upstairs.  This is the most heavy and awkward thing ever!  I thought for sure this thing would fall on someone.  
This is supposed to be Kara's new play area, it's actually supposed to be a formal dining room.  I have yet to see Kara play in there for more than 2 minutes!

Kara's favorite spot, the middle of the stairs.
The people that lived in this house before us left this fun sandbox. Tom insisted this was a litter box but after some thinking, why would this huge litter box have a lid that went over it?  Plus we found a bag of play sand next to.

Good bye party!

Last Friday night our friends here threw us a good bye party before we move.  I was kind of dreading it because I didn't want to say goodbye quite yet!   We are going to miss all of them so much but hopefully we'll still see them here and there.  We had a great night and we were all very busy keeping track of the kids.  Thanks to everyone that helped, it was so special to have everyone together before we leave. We have truly been blessed by all of the friendships we've made here.   

All the girls together!
