The baby birthday went really well. It takes a lot to put that kind of party together! Most everyone we invited came and there was enough food for everyone which is what I was most worried about. Emily got a lot of really lovely gifts and ate her personal birthday cake. She got some wonderful books and some fun toys and cute clothes. It made me realize that we need to really get our act together to get our house ready to sell. There simply are too many things to fit into our current 1200 square feet. I know that sounds horrible to complain about! Oh poor me, I have a house and too much stuff to fit in it! I am not complaining really, I am just excited to move. We are planning to build a house in a neighborhood up the road from where I live now. Some of the next few weeks will probably include blogs about packing, house building, house selling, etc…. I don’t want to write on here the neighborhood that I am moving to because that seems unsafe but check out the Sound Built Homes website http://www.soundbuilthomes.com/ and you could see the floor plan we have chosen. It is called the Tahoe. I think our new home is going to be great and I will be excited to keep you updated. Also, I will update this post soon with the photos of Emily’s big birthday bash.

Mary, she looks so grown-up! She still has those sweet chubby cheeks though.
Congratulations on building a new house! We also hope to do the same this year. I think our current house is about 1300 square feet. Keith and I were a little older when we got married (I was 27 and he was 35), so we merged two households together from the start, and we’ve always struggled with where to put all the stuff.
