Stretching out

Videos Anyone?

After several unsuccessful attempts, I have finally figured out how to post videos on the blog. I don't have a real recent one, so my test one is from our last week in Kansas. Since the files are so large, I've decided to open another page for them to be posted on. If you look to the right you can click "Videos of the A Team" and it will take you to the page to see them. Once you're there, all you have to do is click on the play button. Hopefully this works. If it does, I'll be posting more soon. Let me know how it works for you!

Official Moving Pictures

Last week we tried to take pictures for our change of address cards. Gymboree had a great shirt out this summer. It had "Little Mover" written on it. I got all 3 kids one for moving. On the day we moved out of our house in Kansas the kids wore them, and they also wore them when the movers brought all of our stuff to Tennessee. I put the kids back in them for the picture and Adam quickly reminded me that we weren't moving again! I just love the way he picks up on things. We weren't able to get a really great picture of all 3 together, but here's a sampling of what I got! Enjoy! (PS. I am mailing out the change of address cards today, so look for yours in the mail next week)

Are we done yet?

We made house cupcakes to celebrate our move. The kids enjoyed getting into the kitchen again. I really think they may be chefs one day!

We're Moved In! (well mostly)

We have unpacked the last box and hung almost every picture. I think we can officially call this move complete. Yea!!!! We couldn't have done it without the help of several folks. First I want to thank my parents. They came up to help watch (spoil) the kids and perform a little more manual labor during the move in. While we were on "vacation" my parents, Chris (my brother), Mark and Kelly (friends) came over and changed out all the electrical outlets and covers, cleaned, mowed the lawn, hung blinds, changed toilet seat covers, and many more things. My parents also stocked the fridge for our return. Thanks so much for all your help. We couldn't have had this successful of a move without all of your help. What great family and friends we are blessed with!!

Now to what most people are looking for. Pictures! I have uploaded all of the pictures from our PCS to another blog. If you click on PCS to Tennessee on your right, it will take you to all of our adventures. We had a great time visiting with family and friends. We are excited to have a new house and be back in the city we were married in. Abrahm officially started work this morning. So let the next adventure begin!!!!

Where's My ????????

You name it and we probably can't find it!

Sorry for taking so long to update the blog. We packed up our house in Kansas on the 20th and headed to Tennessee to close on our house. After interviewing a ton of painters (long story I'll fill you all in on later), we headed for Evansville, Indiana to visit some Alaskan friends. Then we went to Brookston, Indiana to visit my brother and his family. Our last stop was in Pennsylvania where we got to visit with lots of family and friends. I'll bore you with the details and pictures at a later date.

We got to Tennessee on Sunday, received our household goods on Monday, and have spent the last two days unpacking. My parents came to help out with the kids so we could get more work done. So as soon as I catch my breath, I'll add pictures about our moving adventures. I hope everyone else has been having an enjoyable summer!

Last Visit to Legends

Tonight we made our last trip to Legends ( a shopping complex in Kansas City). We had one last dinner at Stix, my favorite hibachi grill restaurant. The kids love "watching them cook in front of you". They both even do very well with their own kid's chopsticks. After dinner we wandered over to the fountain for one last splash. We sure are going to miss it here!
