Ready, set... GO!!
Ready, set... GO!!
Look at that smile! she was over on the blanket in the background... and suddenly... here she is... I have NO IDEA how she got to this bag... weather it was to the bag first and then under the TV thing... or if she went under the TV for a surprise attack on the bag... either way... what a cutie!!!

The White House
Here are a few pictures of our little place...
Back yard:
Here is the entry way to the front room. Pictured: Front door and stair case to the upstairs.
Below: Front door is to the left. The door strait ahead is to a side screened patio, that doubles as our 'garage'.
Front room from another angle.
Caitlin and Will's Beds. The quilts on their beds were a gift made by Grammy Sue!
To the Left of C and W's Beds is Brinley's crib and changing table...
View from kids beds... Left is the stairs. In the back there are those two doors- on left is laundry room and right door is the second bathroom.
Bathroom.
Laundry Room.
Well, that's it! It's small and cozy... and works for now! We are excited to find a place of our own where we can stretch our arms out and not bump into each other. but for now we are enjoying a little peace knowing that we don't have to do any 'home-improvements'...give poor Justin a break! :)

Lets turn Left first. Here is the entry to the kitchen.
Kitchen.
Hall way. Left is Bathroom. Strait ahead is the 1st bedroom, i.e. our 'storage' room/Brinley's nap room. and to the Right is J & A's bedroom.
Cute down stairs bathroom. PS. LOVE THE COLOR!
This is our work-in-progress room. Since we plan on moving within a year, we've held on to most of our boxes. They are stacked up along the right wall... as well as boxes of books and other 'long-term' storage items in grey tubs. This room changes weekly, as we try to organize and widdle out things we don't need... but the good thing is there is enough room for the Pack-n-Play for Brinley to take her naps-- so the kids can still have their play room up stairs. It would be nice to have all this stuff somewhere else ...so this be a guest bedroom... for when family comes to visit!! (hint hint!) We'll see if I can work my magic!
Now entering Justin and Amanda's bedroom...
Dresser and closet...
Bed.
Now, we take you up stairs to what we call the nursery/loft/play land. This is the staircase by the front door.

Christmas in PA
After surviving the wild drive north through feets of snow,and crazy drivers... we finally got settled at my parents house in PA. We arrived safely some where around 5:30 AM-- a 3 and 1/2 hour drive turned into a rip-roaring, make-your-own-lanes-on-the-interstate, enjoy the scenery at 20 mph 10 hour drive! It was an experience! Terrifying... actually, but all i can say is SO glad we have the Pilot!
So were able to take a nap, shower and then our Christmas vacation seamed to settle, allowing us to relax and enjoy the company of my family!
Minus the 10 hour drive... it was fun to DRIVE to my parents house this year!! Here are a few pics from our stay with them...
Brinners and Mama
About a month ago, my dad shot a few dear while hunting with his Amish friend Joe. He took the deer to the butcher and had it made into Lebanon Bologna... My sister and I went with him to go pick it up... we came home and my dad stacked it up and called me out to the garage... and this is what i saw! I could not stop laughing... my dad is so proud of his kill! Way to go Dad!
Justin
Auntie Shelly preparing the candy for the kids. It was time to decorate 'gingerbread houses'
Enoch and Caitlin
Will
Grammy and Caitlin decorating their house. Caitlin was pretending to be a butterfly in this picture. Gone are the days where she'll just smile at the camera.
While the women helped the kids with the gingerbread houses, the men went and experienced a 3-D version of Avitar... here they are in their glasses! The LOVED it by the way! 
Micah, Caitlin and Enoch take a ride on Papa
We used the kids decorated houses as our Christmas Eve center pieces... along with my fabulous homemade table runner... and There's my goofie Bro posing...

Caitlin took our picture sitting by the fire
We had a great time-- and were amazed at how quickly the time went. Our Drive home was a lot faster than our ride up... here's a picture of the D.C. Temple as we were driving down... I've made the trip plenty of times as a youth... but forgot just how BEAUTIFUL and unexpectedly the temple 'pops' up!! it's pretty amazing! love it.
Many thanks to my family for making Christmas so wonderful, Mom and Dad for everything. Emily and Josh for making the trip from York, Brandon and Shelly for making us laugh and Amy and Kevin, for giving up their own comfort so we could have a comfortable place to sleep... and ALSO many thanks to our friend MR. GPS... couldn't have gotten their without you... well. we could have... but it beats the fold out maps!
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!
