yes. we are unpacked! our last move we had one child who napped twice a day and was staying at grandma's while we unpacked. fast forward three years and we are a household of five, two who nap once a day, and one who naps and eats all day long! we pawned Addie and Wyatt off on my parents for 36 hours and hoped for the best. after two weeks, we are officially unpacked and settled. we had most of the stuff unpacked within days, but finally those few annoying boxes that needed to be dealt with are gone! our place isn't that big, so there really wasn't much space to stay in boxes long. our basement days are over, so we couldn't just dump the boxes down there until we felt like looking through them. secretly, i am glad though. we have had a great purging session and I feel so decluttered! i'll hopefully post some pics of the place soon! alas, we have internet too! my favorite things right now about our place...
*my closet! a walk in that has some serious hanging space! i just organized it and it really makes me happy when i walk in my room!
*i can walk to two great parks with the kids!
*we are seriously within walking distance to all of the shops listed in my earlier post!
*Papa works about half a mile away and stops by all the time to kiss the kids goodnight!
*my garage...it only holds my car but that is a huge convenience!
*Dish Network...we have never had any cable service our entire marriage and David called around and found us a great service for way cheaper than we expected! We are totally enjoying it and the DVR rocks my world! Anyone with children who likes even one or two shows should seriously consider!
*church is just a few minutes away and we have such an enjoyable car ride now!
*i ran into a gal from church at the grocery store tonight...sounds pretty lamo, but it totally made me feel like we are starting a little life here in the OC (j/k...i don't really call it that!)

A Pause in the Blog
As if there isn't one already, we are probably going to pause for a week or two in the blogging world as we move this weekend! Hooray. You read correctly. We are moving this weekend. We found a spot that we think will be good for a year. Not super excited about the prospect of another move in a year, but we'll cross that bridge later. We are pumped about the new spot...
Some highlights of the spot and other things:
One mile from Costco, Target, Barnes and Noble and a billion other great stores!
Three miles from Whole Foods, Pei Wei, Target Greatland!
Five miles to Ikea (that's for you Ami...I can scout stuff out for you!)
Ten miles from the beach! (if that)
Gas is finally under 4 bucks for the first time since we moved to Cali...topping at $4.48 and now $3. 89! Maybe now we can afford to drive to the beach...just kidding!
Wyatt James, affectionately reffered to as the Reverend Dr. W. Jimmy Juelfs (following in his daddy's footsteps), will be turning four August 20th!
Addie Grace is seriously like a teenager! We are probably going to move her to a big bed this weekend and shortly after try potty training her! I am daily amazed at this kid's vocabulary and her use of it! She talks like no other 21 month old I've ever heard, for the good and the bad! Along with words comes an understanding that requires a lot more discipline and guidance.
Hopefully, some video of the peach will be up soon!
Recent Quote: "I'm not cute, I'm Addie Grace!"
Lila Pie is almost five months and is cute as ever. She is happiest when playing with Wyatt and Addie! She is super tiny and delicate but actually moves all over the place. Primary means of transportation = the roll, but anxiously making an effort to crawl! It is pretty funny to watch such a small baby move this way!
Toodles till a later date! I may even try to sneak a nap in right now under a cloudy and maybe rainy sky. This happens like once a summer and I am referring to both me napping and rain in Cali. I better take advantage of it!
