We're in trouble now

Ethan decided to celebrate being 7 months old by climbing up the first step of our staircase.  I am NOT ready for him to be that mobile yet.  Especially while I'm still trying to unpack.

Making a dent

I've got probably 2/3 of my kitchen unpacked but not all of it put away yet.  I'm still trying to decide the best place to put everything.  I wouldn't have unpacked even that much except I couldn't find the coffee. 

In other news Wil passed his swim qual, his ear did just fine this time which is great.  This also means he won't have to go to San Diego to finish it like we were expecting.  It's nice he was able to get it done now since they're not getting much testing done.  It also looks like he won't have to fly out to Yuma test for WTI, he'll just have to fly the helo out there once they're done testing it up. 

Abigail's latest thing is saying "Aye-aye Captain Mommy" and saluting me whenever I ask her to do things.  It is too cute. 

Ethan is getting better and better at pulling himself up on things and transition between crawling, sitting, and standing.  It probably won't be too long and he'll be cruising, yikes!

Glad that's over

Whew, okay, we're now totally moved out of our old place.  I wish I could say we're totally moved into our new house but unfortunately I am surrounded by a sea of boxes as I type this.  I underestimated how much harder the process would be with Ethan here.  He seems to be teething right now which means he wants to be held.  A LOT.  Abigail has been really great throughout the move.  (Other than waking up in the middle of the night throwing up the night before they moved our stuff over, but I can't really blame her for that.  Or wait, can I?)  Things would have been a lot easier except for the fact that the movers "forgot" to move our lawnmower, some lumber, and our whole front coat closet.  I didn't find out until later that evening because they picked up their last load while I was still at the new house.  When they assured me they had picked everything up from the old place I took them at their word without double-checking, which I should have done.  So that meant I had to make several trips back and forth with whatever I could fit in the Vue.  I'm proud of myself for being able to move us (again) while Wil's gone but I hope I never have to do it again!

I promise I'll post some pictures soon.

The latest

Sorry I've been lax on posting updates but the only appointment I could get to switch the cable over to the new house was on Saturday so I've been without internet at our old place for the last three days.  Abigail's room is painted and just needs a few touch ups in the corners.  The movers are packing us today and moving us out tomorrow.  So Tuesday night we'll be staying in our new place.  So give me a few days to get settled and I'll get some pics of our new home posted.
