:: adalaide weighs T.W.E.N.T.Y pounds. that puts her in the 95% for weight, and she is off the charts for height. i was wondering why i was having such difficulty hoisting her carrier around. now i know. and now we leave it in the car.

:: we are moving! within the next month we’ll be packin’ up our house, getting renters in here, and moving into one of my parents properties. my mom and dad are giving us a great family discount, so that we can maximize our saving and speed up the building process {cause we’re crazy and paying cash for everything-ahhh}. the house is much smaller than ours, and it’s…shall we say..  a “vintage” home. but we don’t care. we are so very excited to be in our ideal location…close to family, friends, cousins, and good schools! thanks so much mom and dad!!

:: finley will be having a birthday next month. she has requested a “farm party” so we’ll be giving her just that. since we have a lot on our plates next month, we’ll be keeping it small and simple. but, i couldn’t resist putting together an invitation. i’m still learning how to use photoshop, but i’m loving that it can be used for things other than photo editing. here’s her invitation, front and back.
