Good-bye Grand Forks

Well, after much delay, I'm going to try and update our blog. Bear with me. This could take awhile... At the end of June, we left Grand Forks and moved to Kansas. Here's a couple of pictures of trying to get the house organized for the movers. We got rid of our 300 pound TV, which gave Andrew access to all the buttons on the little TV and the DVD player, which he now operates all by himself. *sigh* And yes, I am wearing a sweatshirt on our last picture in front of our house. It was in the 70s the week we left and now we are sweating in the mid-90s in Kansas!

Another haircut

Andrew got another haircut on Monday, finally. He was starting to look like a shaggy dog! This one went slightly better than the last...He sat in the chair for most of it and then I ended up holding him and she cut around me.

Primitive Potty Training

OK, not really. I have this old pot that I was going to put a plant in, but decided I should wait until after we move. And the other day Andrew decided it should be sat in. These things can not be explained!

The Bedtime Stall Routine

So, we told Andrew that it was time for bed. What does he do? He grabs some books, sits in his bean bag chair and reads to himself. It was too cute so he didn't get in trouble. Here you can see him reading "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." Obviously I use hand motions when I read to him.

I love pudding!

Andrew LOVES chocolate/vanilla pudding. And most of it ends up in his mouth. Most of the time...

Andrew and Great Grandpa

We went and visited my grandpa one day at his new home in the nursing home. Grandpa and Andrew shared tips on the best way to use the walker.

On the farm

Andrew getting to know Buster a little better.

Andrew helping Grandma get the eggs in the very dirty chicken house.

Our new house!

Grandpa and Andrew going for a ride on the Gator.

Andrew wasn't too sure at first, but then he warmed up to it.

Grandpa and Andrew and Chief the horse. Again, Andrew wasn't too sure about Chief, but the next day he stuck his finger up his nostril. GROSS!

Well, we made it back from our trip to Kansas. Sadly, Keith and Andrew picked up a stomach bug the day we left. Let's just say it made for an interesting flight home. Puking on mommy was involved and that's all the details I will share. Here it is day 3 of the bug and I think we are finally on the tail end of the junk, or at least that's what I'm praying! We had a productive trip to Kansas - we found a house! It's a very exciting! And now we have all the final details to take care of...
