I had to take a picture of my 3 kids playing a game together without fighting!
After a few days of being in our new house, we noticed that there were some turkey vultures on our neighbor's deck and chimney. We actually saw 2 on our chimney (we don't have a fireplace, so I don't know why we have a chimney) just a few days ago. They are really big birds! About a week after we moved in, Dave looked out our bedroom window at our backyard, and saw a fox! He had me come look at it, and it was amazing! It looked like it was hunting, and then it sat and scratched it's ear. I went to get the camera from downstairs, but by the time I got back to the window, the fox was gone. I wish I could have gotten a picture of it. I'm hoping it will come back sometime. Then a little while later, I was opening the blinds in Ashlee's room, and as I did, there was a deer in the back yard! It was awesome to see a deer right in our backyard!
I think all of you know that we have moved. We used to live in Wilmington, Delaware, and now we live in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. We live right across the street from the hotel that Dave works at, so that is nice for him to be that close to his job. The move was hard and exhausting! I spent weeks of packing before we rented a truck for a couple of days to move everything. We had some friends from our Wilmington ward help us move the heavier things, and then we had people from our new ward come and help unload those heavy things into our new house. Dave wasn't able to help very much with the actual packing of things at the old house because of work and school, but he took a couple of vacation days when we rented the truck to move everything into the new house. (It's not actually a new house, but it is new to us!) Most everything is unpacked and put away now. We just need to put up pictures and decorative things. I haven't taken any pictures of our new house yet, but I will so that you all can see this house.
A couple of weeks before we moved, the boys were outside playing and came in telling me there was a snake in the bushes in our front yard. So I went outside to look, and sure enought there was a snake right on top of the bushes. When we looked closer, it acutally was 2 snakes intertwined. They were really neat!
These are pictures of the front, back deck, and backyard of our old house. No one in my family was able to come visit us while we lived here, so I figured I would take some pictures so everyone could see where we lived for 3 years.
During the summer Ashlee loved eating popsicles, but they made her hands too cold, so she decided that wearing her gloves would solve that problem! She's pretty smart to figure that out, but it was funny to see her wearing gloves when it was 80 degrees!
These are pictures of David's 13th birthday! (Sept. 30) He's a teenager now! Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Here are the kids their first day of school waiting for the bus. It's nice that the bus stops right in front of our house and honks and waits for them to come outside. Ashlee has afternoon kindergarten, and she had a cut/bump on her head for her first day! The night before, she had been running in the house and she tripped and fell and hit her head on the door frame.
