it's been a long, LONG time....

Okay, I know it's been like FOREVER since you've heard from me, or should I say 'read' about me and my family. Well, we are happy to say we are officially moved into our new house in the country and unpacking and getting settled in bit by bit.

It's been a long 6 months -- from having our house on the market, selling our townhouse, moving in with the babysitter's family and now finally moved into our new house and making it a home.

A lot has happened since I've last been on the blog and I'm hoping to share a LOT of good pictures and stories with all of you in the weeks to come. We still do not have internet set up at our house, we don't even have cable yet -- we have a very large antenna attached to the house that we are able to view the network channels -- good enough for me at this point. We are getting new carpet in the next week or two and doing some other projects around the house (we have a LARGE 1 acre lot now with LOTS of beautiful fall leaves......we NEED to buy a rake!!) So, I'm hoping by next month we will have some sort of technology in our lives again -- like internet and TV.

I will share this picture now -- it's my family. My parents just retired at the end of this summer and my dad's company hosted a retirement party. Here we are......

My sister-in-law & brother, my neice, my dad, my mom & my nephew. My husband, myself and our toddler daughter...a pretty decent photo, huh?
