New House

We made it! It will take some time yet to finish unpacking and longer still to make the house feel like home, but we are here. Thanks to the help of our wonderful family, especially my Dad and JoEllen, we moved in a week ago today. We have been very busy with all the chores, but I'm trying to make sure that we enjoy the holiday and my favorite season too. I took Emaline out to enjoy some much needed sunshine this afternoon and got some pictures in our new yard. We have also been to a Halloween party, Spooktacular at the Dickerson Park Zoo, visiting Great Southern in monster costume (pictures to come), and another party tomorrow.

Emaline is cutting her third tooth (a big one on top) and it has been a bear. Sometimes I feel like my baby has a split personality, but with some Tylenol and time hopefully this too shall pass. I will try to post again soon with pictures from Halloween; hope everyone is doing well!

Moving update

I realize it has been too long since my last post. I can't begin to catch everyone up on the roller coaster ride here in the Ashley household so I will just cover the highlights. After a very long, ugly battle we will all be moving to our lovely new home in two weeks. We are in the middle of packing up right now and making all of the arrangements to make the move as smooth as possible. We will only be moving slightly East of where we live now, remaining very centrally located in the city. The new place has a lot more room and will likely look very bare with our sparse furnishings, but it will be fantastic to be able to spread out a bit! I included pictures of some highlights the past few weeks. Emaline in the black shirt is from the day we went to Cider Days on Walnut St. and she got a new red headband. The one of her upside down shows a favorite game of hers and her little teeth. Finally, the cheerleader in the making went up to BKD to visit Daddy on game day. While it was a crushing loss, you can see that these two fans were in high spirits sporting their Mizzou gear!
