Out with the old, in with the used...

Image These last couple of weeks have brought some changes to our house! Everything is used, but new for us. The girls have been wanting a pet, so I told them I could handle birds. I know that they are not the most exciting as far as playing goes, but they are fun to look at, and I don't have to worry about pet messes. I found the cage on craigslist.


Image The girls named the birds Blueberry and Heart



Image Jenny is modeling Aaron's used treasure. He traded out his scooter for a nice used Mini. Now we need to sell our scooter!


Image
The girls were given this Jeep from someone in the ward. They love it, and want to drive it every day.


ImageLastly, we got rid of our couch about a month ago, and were needing something to sit on as a family. I found this couch on craigslist for free. I know that it is missing some elements, such as cushions, but decided to go with it. You can't always pass up free. Anyway, our Labor day was spent picking out fabric and making new cushions and pillows for our couch.

Image
Today was spent cleaning the couch and carpets. The cushions show up lighter in the picture than they look in real life. We all enjoy the couch, as we can all sit down at the same time!

Ellie's smiles and the first day of school!

Image
Image

Image Ellie has started smiling, and noticing us a lot more now. I tried to capture a few smiles on camera!
Lydia and Hannah also started school today. They were so excited, they woke up at 4:30 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. When we let them get up, they rushed to get dressed and do their hair. They even helped make their lunches. I think that they both enjoyed their first day. We don't always get a lot of feedback around here. We will see how tomorrow goes!

Ellie was blessed last Fast Sunday. We took a couple of pictures that morning of her in her dress, but she wasn't very happy. I need to try to take some more of her. Here are pictures of her with Aaron and me.

This is a story about Hannah the Detective, and she slides in part of it. (Hannah came up with this post all by herself. She was super excited to post it!)
