So we have had a VERY busy week the past week. We started off the weekend moving into a townhouse on base. We had been living in a high-rise apartment on base and moved about a block away into a 4 bedroom townhouse--it is still small, but we LOVE it!! I have to admit it was a pain moving. Eric and I figured this is our 7th move in our almost 5 years of marriage. Also, I look at Kailey and in her short 19 months of life, she has now lived in 4 different homes in 2 different states (Connecticut and Missouri) and a different country--I guess we aren't very good at giving our kids stability!! The good thing is that they don't seem to be fazed at all by moving and Eric and I are getting very good at packing ourselves and moving. We should be in this house for at least the next 2 1/2 years--so come visit us, our guest room is waiting!!
(The movers decided it was easier to walk our couch down to our new place instead of putting it in the truck, so here they are wheeling it down the road!)
(The kids in our new backyard--they spend hours out there digging in the dirt--I LOVE IT!!)
Monday was Eric's birthday and I felt bad because it was a pretty crummy one. To start off, the weather was nasty--cold and rainy. We also had to finish moving a couple of things and clean our old place and then Eric had to go into work--what a way to spend your birthday!! We did end up going out to eat and opened presents, so the night ended on a high note. Here are a couple of birthday pictures.
Since we moved this past weekend, we decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a couple of days late (mostly because I couldn't find where I put any of the valentine stuff I got for the kids and Eric). So Wednesday was our Valentines Day and the kids got spoiled, not by Eric and I, but by their Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. I swear our kids are so spoiled by their grandparents!! Eric's parents were very nice to send the kids some new outfits and new jammies, books, they each got a new valentine's pillowcase among some other things-they were in heaven. Of course Kailey got 2 new pairs of shoes and she wore one of her new pairs of shoes all day--in fact I had to pry them off of her feet during naptime--she is such a little girl!!

Happy Birthday Eric!
I love the picture with Ethan putting his arm around Kailey! You can tell they are such good friends!
We hope Eric had a great birthday!!
You'll have to post pictures of the new place. 4 bedrooms is nice... no matter how small. (Can't be smaller than our 440 sq. place.)
P.S. We're doing everything we can to come see that guest bedroom!! :)
Likewise. I want to get out there before y'all come home, but Brooke is not as keen on the idea as I am.
Wow, I can't even imagine moving that many times! That's so great that you have 4 bedrooms. Even if it's small that will be really nice.
I LOVE Kailey's shoes. So cute!
Who is that cool dude and cool dudette in those sun glasses. Great pics! Thanks Dad T.
