We moved into our new house on Saturday. We had electricity and water, but that's about it. No TV, no Internet, No hot water (which would have really come in handy following Nova choking on a chip then vomiting partially digested formula all over both of us), and 1 sole futon.
Life has progressively gotten better, and as of this evening we have hot water, internet and TV! We also bought an air matress after we quickly discovered that Me, Cris, the Flopmeister (juneau), Nova, and Summit don't all fit on a full sized futon.
It's actually kind of fun to have this huge, empty house. juneau spends about a cumulative 60 minutes running through the house yelling "run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run". We also have an actual back yard, complete with Nova's favorite toy ever - decorative rocks. She entertains herself making various collections of rocks for quite a while every day.
It's funny how giant a normal house feels after spending the last 4 years in 1200 square feet with 3 adults, 2 babies, and 2 dogs.
I have to play major catch up with some pictures. they are rather scattered and out of order, but it's the best i've got right now :)
We are currently doing our laundry in a laundromat, and one day last week when we ran out of clean clothes i bought J and Nova these matching dresses at Target. So cute!
Juneau's ridiculous get-up on the day we visited Royal Gorge. These sunglasses were actually a great find for her. She is very intolerant of sun in her eyes, and will say "Sun Eyes, Sun Eyes" about a hundred times. we found these sunglasses with a stretchy velcro strap, and she loves them.
Nova insisted on carrying these bags up the elevator after shopping at Target. Heavy, Heavy, Heavy
The Roseola (at least the presumed Roseola, as diagnosed by an Ob/GYN).
A typical Nova face. I also keep forgetting to mention Nova's hilarious habit of raising her voice about 3 octaves when she wants to talk. Her babbling is in a normal range, but as soon as she wants to actually say something it comes out in this super high pitched little squeak. 
We made a trip to Royal Gorge last week. It was super fun-Aside from getting stuck on top of the mountain in an absolute downpour complete with thunder and lightning. The rest was fun though, and we can't wait to go back on a sunny day.

Daddy and Juneau "O-H". Now if only Nova can learn "I-O"
Nova's first attempt at the double pig tail look. I think she pulled it off pretty well!
You may remember this inflatable. Nova and this little guy bonded at the beach this summer when she refused to let sand touch her. Now she loves this thing, and uses it as a lounge chair.
Nova getting a free ride at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We LOVE this zoo! It is actually built into the side of the mountain and it is super cool.

Cutie-girls

The coolest part of the zoo is definately the Giraffes! There are a ton of giraffes, and you can walk right up to them and feed them crackers. Juneau was fearless, and fed this guy about 10 crackers. Nova enjoyed watching the other kids (and grown ups!), but wasn't too keen on the actual feeding, and kept dropping her cracker as soon as she saw the giant purple tongue coming at her.
i think juneau must be pointing to an airplane. She loves airplanes.
after watching the carousel about 5 times, we finally let J and Nova take a ride. As you can see, it was a highlight of the day.

And this Picture of J-bug on a bug is to remind you to check in tomorrow for pictures from our First Annual Bug Day! Tomorrow is the anniversary of Juneau's Giving and recieving Ceremony, and I have a fun little celebration planned. This date one year ago was an incredibly emotional and amazing day for our family, and marks the day that Juneau officially became our little June-bug forever. We are constantly in awe that somehow from a tiny little country half-way across the world, God had a perfect plan for our perfect little girl. We can't imagine our family any other way, and we are blessed to have Juneau as our daughter.
