because i know this is what you all really want ;)

 hanging with dad

 so happy!

you said what?

home sweet home

we moved!

yup...parker joined us on the 20th and we official brought a house on the 30th!

so crazy! 

we moved into our new house labor day weekend with the help of lots of family and friends.

allysha and andy were in town and were a huge help!

along with many friends...we were able to clean and move all of our stuff in two days!

whew! i don't think i will never move again right after having a baby!

i don't recommend it ;)

we feel so blessed to find an awesome house!

it was super crazy but now that we are moved in it great to have a place to call home and 

to be able to share it with parker.

we had been looking for a new place for a while and found this house the last week of july.

since it was a short sale, we figured- perfect! it will take at least 6 months before we have an answer.

boy, were we wrong!

the day after we put in our offer the selling bank asked if we could close in 30 days! August 31!!

i was terrified that i would be in the labor and delivery room when we would need to sign closing papers...

thank you parker for coming early!

so we had parker, our bank got everything together and we closed on the 30th!

we got the keys on the 31st and started moving the next day!

brandon has already started and completed some home projects!

way to go!

he is now assuming the role of handy man...and i am sure there are more projects to come!

he already changed the door locks, fixed the bathroom window, installed carbon monoxide detectors,

buying a washer and dryer, killing spiders....

 welcome home!

keep an eye for Parker's birth announcement and our new address!!!

4 weeks!

yesterday parker was 4 weeks old!

so hard to believe!

he is growing so fast...i can hardly believe it :)

we took some pictures in his room again to document his growth!

parker wasnt in the mood for taking photos...but is still pretty cute!

parker also had his first bath this week!!

 loving the warm water

 getting clean!

he loved it!

Mr. Parker @ 2 weeks

39 weeks!

it is hot! we have another 90 degree day in store for us and this might be the first time in 

my life that i'm not excited about it.

dont get me wrong i love the sun and heat...but this little belly heater makes it feel like it over 

110!

we are just waiting around for mdb to arrive.

i'm at home while brandon is working away...hopefully i wont have too many days at home...

i don't sit well ;)

maybe next week the 40 week picture will have a baby in it! we can hope, right?
