Dear Friends,

Please come over to our new house all the time.

Arley.

PS: Elliott and ET meet again...

Hello!

Hey everybody! I'm just checking in. I'm not sure how often I will be able to blog this next week. I have TONS to do in the new house, and then there's the fact that Seth is out of town, and I'm leaving for Boston in 4 days!.. So, I will check in as much as I can. And if I can't get any pictures up soon, then I promise a looong post when life goes back to normal... or rather... when life goes back to it's NEW normal.

Love,

Arley.

The Jumping Beanliott...

his new favorite game in action.

...and they're movin' on up, and now it's hot outside.

Today was the last day of school. We had a little ceremony for those students who are moving on. Time to fly away little butter-flyers... sniff sniff.
Then we had a picnic and an art-show with all of the families...





My favorite:
AH! So stinkin' cute :)

Happy Summering everybody!!!

Goodbyehello.

Dear Apartment #3207,

I will not miss how tiny you are.
I will not miss your lack of hardwood floors.
I definitely won't miss your crappy dishwasher.
I won't miss your parking-lot.
OR that climb up and down the stairs every-day.
But...
You were safe.
You were within walking distance of the nearest Starbucks.
You were close to people that I love.
And, you were my baby's first home.
You are where he learned to crawl, walk, and scream!..
He will miss you. To him, you are home.
We may be moving away...
but you are forever in my heart.
When I think of these times, and tell stories from our first year as parents...
I will think of you.
I wish you well!

Love,

Arley.


And now, it's time to go...
Welcome, welcome, new chapter of my life!

Maybe, just MAYBE... we're going crazy without Daddy!

Thank-goodness he's on his way home!!!

Going to Boston makes you crazy...

We spent tonight "planning" our trip. We leave in 2 weeks!!!

Say What?..

My mom makes blueberry muffins for Elliott every time he spends the night. He really loves them. He stuffs about 8 in his mouth, and immediately starts signing "more"... oink, oink. I decided to make him some tonight for a little treat since Daddy is out of town. He calls them "ma-mews". I don't know how that means "muffins"... but it does. Yum...
Also, today after school I took him to buy some new Crocs. Lala (Seth's mom) bought him the green ones while we were at the beach, back when I was still pregnant! It makes me a little sad that he can't wear them anymore. I remember waiting and waiting for them to fit... and now they no longer do. So sad how fast they grow! But, he has cute blue ones this time...
And last... something weird. I got this ridiculous idea the other night for a sympathy card. I mean... you wouldn't want to give this to someone who just lost a family member, but more like... "That Stinks, I'm sorry you didn't get the job!"... ya know? Maybe I will start a stationary/card shop?.. maybe not.
It's kinda cute... and here are some legos. Why?.. I don't know. I just made them...
The End. Goodnight.

xoxo.

Arley.

Summer is coming...

Yes!..

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Star Trek,

How are you so good? I have seen you twice. When can I see you again?..

Happy Uncle's Day.. Mother's Day?..

Worley Boys = Don't you wish you were part of the club.
