January Pictures and Video!



Brynn and Adrienne:
-We have two dance class dropouts right now.  For the past three classes, Adrienne has sat in my lap the second half, so we knew we were going to pull her out.  Once Brynn figured out our plan, she said she was ready for a break too.  We're exploring some new activities, possibly soccer, for the spring.
Watching America's Funniest Home Videos!

First movie in the theater for both girls (Killing time in the rental house): FROZEN!  They loved it!  Brynn sat perfectly still the whole time and Adrienne only needed to get up once!  They ate all the snacks we brought and kept asking for more snacks :)



Brynn:
Showing off her Lego skills.
I found her napping in her new unicorn bath towel that she got for Christmas! :)



Adrienne:
Getting ready for Frozen



New House: 
The builder has been doing everything in their power to stay on schedule.  Even with all the horrible weather we've been having this winter, we are only ~10 days behind schedule.  Still lots of progress this month!
Added the front porch!

Master Bedroom, Master bath at back of the house

Insulation in!  They even installed some extra that we provided to help with sound between a few of the rooms.  Standing in the family room, looking into the kitchen

Shingles were new in this picture

Old House:
We officially sold the house on January 17th!  Our goal at the beginning of this whole process was to not own two homes at the same time, so it feels good to have a big check in the box for this one.
The girls were "helping" pack

Moving Day!!  We hired two separate moving companies: one to load up the pod storage container with all the big pieces of furniture and stuff we don't need for a couple months and the other to load the moving truck to move to the rental house.

Coloring while we closed on our old house

iPad during closing.  They let us hang out in an unused office to wait while Daddy signed papers and read through everything.



Rental House:
This will be our "shower" through mid-March.  The girls don't mind at all and Ben and I have gotten used to it :)

No stove at the house means we had to buy our range for the new house now!  Kinda funny seeing the brand new appliance in a 50's kitchen.
