The Shepherd lost his tooth

Last weekend Zachary was in his first Church program. He was the sweetest Shepherd there ever was. In the first picture he is in the bottom left hand corner. The second one from the end in the front row. He didn't have any lines but he sure did do a good job standing there.

Doesn't he look sweet in his costume.

Zachary's top front tooth has been loose for a while now. Last week he came home from school (where he had bumped it on something) and it was pretty much dangling there. I gave it one good tug but he said, "Ouch" when I did it so I told him he had to wait till his daddy got home to get it out. They worked on it for a while and it finally came out. He was so excited.

Zachary turns 6!!!

Our big sweet boy turned six last Friday. That morning I woke him up for school and said, "Happy Birthday Buddy." He stood straight up on the bed and said, "I think I'm taller." He got to wear his PJ's to school that day. They had been studying "P" all week so the kids wore their pajamas that day. This lucky boy got to celebrate his birthday twice in one weekend. That night we went over to Martin & Linda's for pizza, cupcakes & ice cream. John, Sarah & Sophie joined us. It was a great night. Zachary really enjoyed himself.

On Sunday we had the birthday party with his friends. We had it at Kangarooz which is a new jumpy place. It has tons of huge space jumpers/slides. We had pizza, cake and ice cream. The kids had SO much fun.

A few pics of the new house

Here are a few pictures of the house. I will try to take more this week....

This is the den/living room.

This is the kitchen (which seems to be everyone's favorite room - mine included).

The dining room.

The kids playroom/study.

New House

We've moved!! YEA! We moved to the new house the weekend before Thanksgiving. Jason, John, Justin & Martin moved a lot of the big stuff on Saturday. It sprinkled here and there but luckily it didn't really rain too much. Linda graciously kept the kids for me so I could move what I could fit into the back of the van. We got enough moved that day that we slept at the new house Saturday night. Sunday was another day of moving and my parents got here around 4:30. All of last week was spent putting things away and going back to the old house to get as much stuff that would fit in the back of the van. The new house is really coming together. I actually took some pictures last night of the den/living room, the kitchen, the study/playroom and the dining room. Unfortunately I went to download them just now and cannot find my cord that connects the camera to the computer. I will keep looking and will post some pictures as soon as I can. Jason continues to work on his man cave. In the bonus room there is a built-in entertainment type unit for the electronic components and the previous owners had hung a TV above it on the wall. Jason's TV is not set up to be hung on the wall so he had a huge hole cut in the wall above it and finished out so he could put his TV in there. It looks pretty good! Addie's room is complete except I need to hang the curtains and the wall decor. Zachary's room is kind of a mess right now because he is sleeping on a blow up mattress. His new bed and night stand come on Thursday.

We had thanksgiving here with my parents and it actually turned out very nice. I am so thankful to my parents for coming and helping us out during the first week in our new house! Thanks Mom & Dad!!

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!!
