I swear, if it wasn't for NaBloPoMo

Things are so busy and crazy around here...I really don't have enough time to blog...but for NaBloPoMo I will forgo some much needed sleep and spend my time blogging. Today, everyone spent a good amount of time working on the house that Dereje and I are going to live in! My parents haves spent a lot of time staining the floor in the bedroom and moving in furniture, while Megan and I have been trying to put stuff away while keeping the kids somewhat entertained. The house that we're going to live in is awesome because we can open the back door and Ana can go roaming in and out whenever she wants to - and, here, we're not so psycho about keeping the place clean, so she's living up the fact that she gets to throw stuff around and not have us run around after her telling here "no touch" and "stop that" - She's living the high life now.

Ever since we left North Carolina, Ana has been especially clingy to me. She even let me put her in a sling on my back the other day while I was making dinner...

She also, love love loves to look at her brother.
Grandma Di Di is pretty good at keeping her entertained by propping Emery up at the end of the bed so that Ana can play with his little feet and he can coo away at her.
I still can't believe that it is the middle of November and we're still having dinner outside!

I guess that's what you get for moving to Arizona.  It's been really nice being outside and opening up the house quite a bit.  Hopefully it will be a bit cooler tomorrow for the Veterans Day Parade!
