Grandma's here! and our new place

Grandma Mousser drove back with me and the kids to help us move. Thank Goodness! She was a huge help, and we had the job done pretty much in 3 days...including totally cleaning out the entire old apt. It sparkled if I do say so myself. So, we took a break the last day and a half that she was here and took her to the Traveltown Transportation Museum up in Glendale which is one of our favorites. We thought Grandma would think it was cool, too! So many fun trains, and Grandma treated us to a ride on their train. thanks!!! we love you! Back on the home front, we are business as usual, with 2 added bonuses:

Exhibit A)

Max makes a dirt angel in the back yard while talking to himself about how much fun this new backyard is. Oh my goodness....little boy heaven back there. why there is a little plot of dirt with no bushes, etc is beyond me, but we are happy about it...

So happy!: he proceeded to make a dirt angel face-first as well. So, in other words, if you see me or my kids out sometime, and max is completely dirty. Don't judge me as being a horrible Mom. Rest assured that we've just had a fantastic time in the dirt and give me a pat on the back for trying really hard not to care about dirty clothes and faces! :) he's having so much fun out there.

no really, I'll probably need a pat on the back.

Exhibit B)

Ivy's new drawer of plastic things that I don't so much care about...have at it Ives! So, Ivy turned 9 months old, we are in a new house, we have a backyard and life is GOOD!
