Well, we are slowly but surely getting moved in. We wanted to include a few pictures of our decorated place. Enjoy! Sorry this is a very loooooong blog! The first couple are of our bedroom. The next one is Sophia's room (note the pack and play. I'm pretty sure she's going to sleep in it for the rest of her life!). The next couple are of the upstairs living area. Then there's one of the kitchen and the final ones are of the downstairs living area. I also included one of the downstairs bedroom with all of the boxes just so you don't think that we are fully moved in. Hope you're all well!

Our New House










Well we have finally completed the home buying process. What a headache! It's not something we want to do again for a very long time. We closed yesterday without too many problems and picked up the keys today. We spent the evening down there doing a little bit of light cleaning and taking it all in. Here's what we took pictures of:
1. The kitchen (the stairs to go downstairs are to the left and the front living room is in front of the kitchen)
2. The upstairs bathroom
3. Our bedroom (well, mainly a good picture of the closet)
4. The view into the kitchen and front room from Sophia's room
5. The downstairs family room
6. The cool mirror in the downstairs bathroom (I love the brick but Doug's not so sure about it. The reflection in the mirror is the towel rack on the opposite wall. It looks a little weird I know)
7. One of the closets in one of the downstairs bedrooms
8. The cool soap holders in the bathtubs
9. A bonus picture of Sophia helping us paint the entertainment center (she was putting on the primer. It ended up being black)
10. And last but not least, a picture of what the house looks like
There are two bedrooms, a laundry room, and a utility room downstairs that I didn't take pictures of. We're looking forward to the move tomorrow and will be sure to post more when we're moved in!
P.S. I fixed the baby pictures in the previous post because apparently they had an accident. If you couldn't see them before, they should be there now.

Babies, Babies, and more Babies!



We love babies in the Wilkins family. We recently welcomed two new little boys. Doug and I went and visited both of them (Andrew Craig is Jenna's son and Carson is Heather's son). They're both so cute! It's fun that they only came a day apart! Hope you're all well! Enjoy the pics. The first one is of Andrew, the next one of Carson, and the last one of Sophia and Carson. Enjoy!
P.S. We're supposed to close on our house tomorrow. We're keeping our fingers crossed and will send pictures if we do!

Slippery Sophia




So I went to check on Sophia today after she had been napping for 2 1/2 hours just to make sure things were okay. Since we are in the process of moving and we have boxes and furniture stacked everywhere she is a little freaked out to sleep in her room so we let her take naps on our bed. Anyway, I went in to check on her and discovered she had found the vaseline. She had managed to spread about half of the tub all over her body! It was great. When I walked in on her she said, "I put yotion on." She had it in her hair, on her toes, cheeks, leggies, and clothes. I'm sure I'll have a fun time getting it out of her clothes. I quickly threw her in the bath but I'm not sure it did much good since it's such a great water repellent. She may just have to be slippery for the next few days. Maybe we'll let her go play in the dirt for awhile to absorb some of the grease.
Aside from that fun adventure she's been having a fun time learning about colors. Yes my smart child who knows her numbers and alphabet so well is continuing to get smarter. So far everything is pink. On our walk this morning I tried to teach her about how the grass is green and how the sky is blue but by the end of it all she was pretty sure that everything was pink. The video demonstrates that. I also took the video right after her vaseline bath and so that's why she looks so beautiful. Hope you're all well! We're doing great. We're hoping to close on our house Tuesday and then move in Friday. We'll see how everything goes!
