We're still here!

Wow, it's been forever since I've posted. We've been so crazy busy getting into our new house that I just haven't had time to update. It's been quite an adjustment for Caitlin. She went from consistently sleeping through the night to being up several times a night. I think she just doesn't know where she is. I'm hoping that she will adjust soon! We are slowly getting boxes unpacked and put away. Here are a few pictures I took this morning:

Caitlin's Birthday

Well, it's been a week since Caitlin's first birthday. She had a really big weekend. We have been so busy that this has been my first chance to post some pictures and videos. I also just got a new computer, so I've been transferring files and uploading pictures so I could post pictures. Here you go...


The weather was incredible over the weekend. Caitlin enjoyed walking in the yard with Grandpa and Grandma Neth and Uncle Michael. Grandma asked me why she kept patting her leg. I said because that's the sign for Dog!! Grandma - you need to work on your sign language!!

I love this one where Zach is playing with her presents and she is playing with the ribbon! (Aunt Stacey - do you have any more of that ribbon?!?) HA! :-)

After getting a few pictures I decided I needed to get a video clip so I could post it here of her enjoying her cake. Just as the camera started rolling, we had a melt down:

She recovered from the meltdown and we all had sandwiches and snacks and then some of us went out to see our new house. We left Zach and Caitlin at the house with Grandpa and Grandma Neth and Marilyn and Gregg. Here was the result:
