Catching Up

For all those fans of Miss Morgan who have been waiting eagerly for an update, I am SO SORRY that there hasn't been an update on this site for almost TWO months (GASP!).  As many of you know, we purchased a house on Feb 24th and I have been so consumed with the move that there hasn't been any time to blog.  So here is a quick catch up for everyone.

Early in February our little girl had a fight with the asphalt on her way to the mail box.  As you can see, she did not come out the victor.  She cried for just a few minutes and then was her happy, smiling self, scraped face, black eye, and all.

While we prepared to move to our new house, Morgan kept busy.  She helped a lot with the packing, did a little cheering on of her mom, posed for pictures, and generally kept herself busy.  Poor thing has had to play by herself A LOT in the past four weeks since Patrick and I have been so busy packing/unpacking/arranging.

While Morgan (and Mama) were a little sad to leave the old house, we were excited to start our new adventure in a home of our own.  Here we are on closing day, on the porch of our home.

Morgan was the one to unlock the door for the first time...

Our first meal in our new house was a pizza picnic on the floor with our friends Josh and Anna Robinson.  Morgan LOVED running around the empty house.  And making carpet angels.  And stretching out on the blanket in the bare living room.

Anyone want a kiss???

Morgan has also been a big help at the new house.  She was excited to help paint her room.  We transformed her room from navy and greenish-yellow to white with hot pink trim.  As soon as I can get the pictures off my phone I'll add them of the room in progress.

She also wasn't afraid to don gloves and help out with washing down the walls either!

It's been a very busy two months.  We are so excited to be going to Florida on the 30th for Morgan's first trip to Disney.  It is a total surprise for her, and I can't wait to catch her face on video when she finds out.  Stay tuned for lots of Disney pictures and videos.  I hope to update while we are there, so check back the first week of April for more pictures of our trip!

We've Moved!

It's official now, we have moved back into West Virginia and are preparing to spend the first night in our new home!  Today was a crazy day, with lots of funny antics and lots of people running around.  We had some SURPRISE movers, our dear friends Jim and Lori, who drove all the way from South Carolina to help us move!  It was a great surprise, and we definitely needed the extra hands.  I cannot say thank you enough to ALL the people who helped us out, especially Josh and Anna Robinson, and my amazing Aunt Linda.

All in all the day went well.  Of course it rained some, so we had to deal with that.  But we had enough movers to station people both inside and outside so there was minimal mud dragged inside.  By far the hardest thing to move was the piano!  Those guys belly-ached the entire time :)  It was funny to watch these four men try to move my little piano.  Of course, it's OLD and weighs a ton.  They all swore they were not moving it again, no matter what I paid them!

I surprised Morgan with some brand new bedding for her new room.  She was really excited.  So I'll sign off for now because I have pizza boxes to pick up and a few things to do before I fall exhausted into bed.  So very excited to be spending the first night in our home!
