Hold the phone!

Turns out we're not moving (phew). They called a few days after we gave our notice and asked if we would stay for less. We said we would stay for a little less than that and they said okay. What can we say, they love us. Now we just have to find a washer and dryer. Maybe we'll pick one up at RC Willey while we're out west.

In other news, we survived the crazy weekend of wedding preparations and festivities. Lauren did tolerably well - no screaming for Aunt Janet during the wedding itself and she even let a few people hold her for a few minutes!

We also enjoyed hanging out with Afton and Logan (and Joe and Tracy), who stuck around for a couple days afterwards.

It think this is the part where Afton was telling Lauren that Lauren's toys were "MINE!"

Wait, how did that get in there?

And that?
We took the babes on a lovely walk through the cemetery.

Tracy and I also took a quick trip to the Mall of America. Afton got to play with the Legos.

And take a picture with this....character.

Now we have things in order again (but what to do with that tub of raspberry cake filling in the fridge and all that buttercream...?) and life is a little quieter. For the next four or five days anyway.

Lauren's new favorite things to do are to get into the cupboard with the pots and pans and bang them around, and to stand up on the bookcase outside her room and throw books into a big pile on the floor.

So, every night before bed we get to reorganize the pots and pans cupboard and reshelf all the books. I better go get on that...
