Kelly's Nursery Tour

I am linking up today with Kelly's Korner for the Shows Us Your Life Home Tour!

This week she is featuring nurseries.

I am going to show the pictures of Mckenna's first room.... we moved when she was 10 months old and are in the transition between baby & big girl room right now. The room was planned as gender neutral and then we added the pink touches upon her arrival!

This was Mckenna's room before we knew she was a girl.... cute, gender neutral and ready for a little prince or princess!

Back when the diaper cake was still assembled :(

Art work that I made to go with the animals on the bedding

Yes, all that clothing and we didn't even know the gender!!!

Book/Reading corner

At our baby shower each guest brought a book for baby instead of a card! Such a great idea and now we have TONS of books!

This is Mckenna's room when she was 2 weeks old! How quickly things change!!

We added her name in pink, pink tie backs on the curtains and the little words above the window.

We also added the frame pictures of her newborn shots above the dresser/changing table.

We had this sign made for her bedroom door.... it lists on of her birth stats...

We are HUGE Sox fans!

Thanks for checking out our pictures!!

Good-Bye House

Sniff. Sniff. Good bye house :(

I am a little bit sad about leaving our house. We have lived in it for 6 years... planned our wedding in the house. Brought Mckenna home to the house. Had LOTS of parties at the house. I am sad to leave it. Though, happy that we are finally packed and out of it.

When we were at the house yesterday gathering up the last load of laundry and some cleaning supplies, I busted out the camera to take some pictures of my empty house. Jim stated it best, "Oh no, Mckenna, here we go... she's going to get emotional on us!"

Our favorite room of the house... the basement!

A couple of days before we moved, Mckenna discovered stairs!

Up to nothing

Up to nothing... pretty much! We have been busy packing, packing and more packing! Our house is in a constant state of chaos. The garage is slowly filling up with everything that will get packed in our POD when it arrives next week.... then there is the stuff that is going with us to our temporary house. Then the stuff we need for current living, plus camping and vacation. Yikes!

Mckenna was helping me pack some boxes the other morning. This was while I was still working on packing the kitchen and main level of our house.

Catching up

Yes, it has been awhile once again.... hopefully I will get back in the swing once school is over. We have 2 more days. Thank goodness!

Back on May 23rd we accepted an offer on our house!! Yeah!! After a long process of trying to sell, we finally did. It was only on the market for about 4 1/2 months this time around, but the memories of the year it was listed before haunt us! The buyer wants to close July 1st, so we have been BUSY packing and trying to get things in line because we don't have a house to buy yet....

Or so we thought! Last weekend we found a house that just so happens to be a foreclosure. We thought we were in for a LONG grueling process of dealing with the bank... however much to our surprise after officially submitting an offer in on Friday morning, the bank responded with a counter on Friday afternoon! Upon confirmation of a couple of odds and ends details, we will be accepting their counter!! Holy Moly! What have we gotten into!! Hopefully the process goes smooth. Next up would be the inspection. We know that there are a couple of serious things that we need to have looked at, so hopefully nothing else will spring up in the mean time. We could, and I emphasize, could, be on our way to having a house sooner than expected.

On to the star of the show.... she has been a busy little girl lately. She is pulling up on EVERYTHING and going after Sox and Milo with full force! She is standing in her crib, the pack and play and wants to be down on the floor 24/7. Here are some recent pictures to capture the latest and greatest....

Standing in our crib for the first time!

Daddy walked in to get her in the morning and found her standing!! Crazy hair!

Switched to the big girl car seat last weekend.

I guess it is pretty comfy!!

She doesn't really like grass. Notice the foot in the grass has a shoe on it... she held the shoeless foot in the air the entire time she sat there!!
