A lot has happened since I last posted an update.  Pretty much, our lives are changing on a daily basis!

Here comes trouble!  Warren started walking at 11 months!

He’s ALWAYS getting into things!

Nathaniel’s a Mr. Cranky pants 3 year old!

Warren feeds himself

Nathaniel picks his nose… a lot.  And watch-out, he likes to smear his boogers. (ugh! BOYS!)

Nathaniel and David had fun putting together a lego-spider, an unopened kit I picked up at a garage sale.  David didn’t know Nathaniel was touching the spider when I took the picture- he wasn’t suppose to touch :)

Quadoo, our VERY cuddly kitten puts up with an awful lot!  He really loves the kids!

How is it that I ended up with two cuddle-bugs?  If ever I’m holding one of them, the other has to crawl up and have a double cuddle.

Happy Boy loves his new slide- it’s quite a bit bigger!

The U-Haul wasn’t quite full, which proved to be a disaster when we got home and boxes of hangers had fallen and spilled throughout the place- oh and it was nearly 11pm on a work-night!

The stuff barely fit into our garage!

The signage made it mine!

And, in the end, it produced a beautiful little store:

We will be opening, unannounced and cash-only, next week!
