The big move!

We finally moved!  It was thankfully one of the easiest moves I've ever experienced thanks to some help from family and friends. Silas was an angel on moving day, thank the Lord, and our first night in the house was surreal. I felt like I was spending the night in someone's nice home. I can't believe we are blessed enough to own a home and have a baby! Crazy.... I'm actually a grown-up now. Maybe...

Well, with the blessing comes some work. We've learned a lot, and I have lots to share (things that are still in the works, things we'd do differently, things that never should have been done), but for time sake. Here's just a quick peak at the outside paint completion. If nothing else, at least our home is no longer flesh colored. Now I just need to plant a tree to hide the church windows. :)

Before:
Hard to see in the pic with Matthew there, but the door was fusia and the shutters hunter green.



The door and shutters are now black with a grey/khaki siding and white trim. Our neighbors thanked us! :)
Instead of doing needed house stuff, we just watch our son develop.... It's not a waste of time. I don't think. It's more fun than this video proves. :)

Oh how your entertainment changes with a baby.

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
