"Eh?"

We made it!
After a plane ride by myself with the two kiddos--including a frenzied run with my kids strapped in my double stroller (believe me I was breaking a sweat) to catch my first plane and fun "little" layover in Chicago--plus Eric and Stacey's 14 hour trek in a slow moving truck we made it to the "arctic" as some people deem it.
And within a day I was hearing "don'tcha know" and "eh?" and "you betcha--been working at Walmart for 5 years now!" Good thing FARGO prepped me for this part of the Midwest.
Everyone tells me I should watch NEW IN TOWN.

Maybe when I'm not up to my ears in boxes.

But for now--here are a few pictures from the past super exciting month:

Sierra's 6 month birth-day


Super cheesy grin from my Super cute almost 3 year old


Oh! How I miss this pool!!! It has been in the 90s here despite you Naysayers.
And I sure miss that fun time we had Steph 3 weeks ago.



Here's my awesome amazing friend Steph with cute Thomas:

Steph's a beautiful person and Super mom. Literally. Despite all she says to discount her efforts.
The kids just love cozying up with her and a good book.
Good smile Steph.


And this little buckaroo has been doing less of this
since we've switched her to a "big girl" bed AND
moved to a new house.
The 6 am wakeups are killing me.


While this angel girl is sitting up by herself and much more content now.
Oh how I love those cheeks and chub!



And this was a month ago with Oma.
B will swing forever.
Thanks for humoring her Mom.


And it looks like my mom is trying to stifle
a smile as she and B do a little cooking
TOGETHER.
Good sport.




In closing

ever miss those open-mouthed baby kisses?????


Well . . .

here ya go:



Mmmmmwwwaahh!!

Love ya!
Miss ya!
More later.

Good to hear that you are there and safe. I really want Bella to start saying "You betcha" so start working on that. I want to see pictures of your house soon!

A sweet open-baby kiss was exactly what I needed today - thank you, liitle S! And so glad to know you all arrived safe & sound, if not a little harried :) And like those above me, I'm also looking forward to a cute "Ya betcha'" video from all the Freemans! Try & not stress about the boxes - take your time! miss you here in OH, Melissa
