the best picture ever

Tonight I was playing with Myles and he was reaching out for me laughing so I was able to get him to do it again and took a picture. It was a busy, but good day today. More on another day..

I love hanging out with daddy

Luke has to drive to Boone to work every day and some evenings he stops by church and doesn't get home until Myles is already in bed, so the evenings that Luke and Myles hang out are very special and fun. Tonight they played all kinds of games. Grandma got Myles a couple of books that sing and he LOVES them so much. He pushes the buttons then dances around.

Sept 19-28, 2010

It's been a busy past couple of weeks, but we got moved in, I started my new job, and Myles started his new daycare. I've taken a few pictures along the way and attached the one of Myles' first day at his new daycare in Charlotte. There are birds in the lobby that he loves and only 3 other toddlers in his class. Myles loves the new house because there's a lot of room for him to run. Life in the city is pretty good so far - we are getting adjusted.

Sept 14-18, 2010

I can honestly say it's been the busiest week of our lives. It was my last week of work in Boone, Myles' last week of daycare in Boone, we had a cool (but late) church service on Wednesday night, and we moved to Huntersville (north Charlotte) on Friday the 17th. We will not have internet at our house until 9/27 so I hope I don't have to go a long time before posting again. Trust me, I'll put up plenty of new pictures when I can!

packing is continuing

Another day of packing...Myles was going through daddy's hats and had some fun - this one deserves a double picture day!

too busy for a picture

as I always say..Sunday's are busy - but today was extra busy because we had to pack...yesterday Luke did find a rental house for us to live in when we move to Charlotte ..so I posted that house pic.

rainy yard sale

After many many days of getting ready for a yard sale (which was supposed to be between 8-12) it started raining at 8:07am and stopped at 3pm...meaning our yard sale turned into a garage sale that just a few people came to, oh well! Vivienne came by to say hey.

mad mr. Myles

with all the boxes and random things around the house sometimes Myles gets upset...I think he knows the change is coming. I keep having conversations with him about moving to a new home etc, I hope he somehow deep inside understands that it will all be better soon.

*Myles didn't cry very long after this picture.

piggy back rides

tonight we just packed some more - Myles loves to ride piggy back rides

goodbye great-great grandmommy

a couple of days ago my great-grandmother passed away. It's very sad and we'll miss her, but we know she's in heaven right now bowling with great-grandaddy while he's eating peanuts! Tonight we had the funeral. It was a beautiful service and afterwards we all went to my grandmom and grandad Sinks house. Myles got to hang out with his cousin David for a few minutes.

self portrait

Today Myles was such a sweet boy. Sometimes in the evenings he's fussy or tired, but today he was just sweet and cuddly. He was playing with the camera and figured out how to turn it on and he took a picture of himself.

lots of stuff to pack

This morning when I got up I realized I had slept 9 hours - I couldn't believe it! Even crazier than that...Myles slept a full 12 hours, and Luke slept 10 and 1/2 hours. We packed all day and are all very tired now! Myles kept finding random things all over the house to play with so I snapped a shot of him spinning this tupaware thing.

whew

Today was a busy day at church. On the way down I let Myles play with these fake glasses with a big nose that flashes. Myles loves playing with them and putting them on. After we finally got home this evening we packed and went through some stuff.

lots of time in the car with a rice cake

Today we drove down to Charlotte to do some things. We were in the car a lot, but overall Myles did good. I don't know who all reads this blog, but I think it's mostly family - but in case you don't know, Luke and I are moving to Charlotte. We've been praying about moving down there for a while, but things are finally starting to fall into place. So we went to look at some rental houses today, then we went to a downtown park and on the way home we stopped to eat at Luke's favorite restaurant, 'Keytons'. Then when we got to Wilkesboro we had to go by Staples to get paper, then back to church so Luke could print off a bunch of things. It took a really long time because the computer there is really old. Myles had fun playing and running around. Earlier in the day when we were riding so much I gave Myles a rice cake, he's so cute eating it !

throwback picture

Today was a busy day so I decided to post a picture from last weekend when My dad held Myles for a quick picture. I couldn't get Myles to look at he, his eyes were stuck on his cousin David :)

mowing the driveway

Today Myles had a good day at daycare, he's been sleeping longer in the mornings and at daycare this week - one of his teachers said he must be going through a growth spurt. This evening when we got home and got out of the car he got upset because he saw his lawn mower in the garage. So after supper we took him outside and let him push his mower around in the driveway. It's easier to push it in the driveway because the grass is all bumpy and hilly. When I got my camera out and just as I pushed the button Myles pointed at and yelled at something. After I took the picture I looked and there wasn't anything there. He's so funny.

who knew diapers were so fun?

Myles played with diapers for a long time tonight, he was first trying to pull it apart, then he just couldn't figure out what it did, haha - it was cute. We've been busy so I'm not typing much this week.
