On May 17, we moved to our new house, just a few blocks away.  We only asked Anthony's coworker Cody to help us move the big stuff since we'd been taking little loads for nearly a month.  We had a terribly frustrating morning trying to pick up our moving truck, eventually securing one from "Sunny Jim's Candy Ranch" on a little mountain road almost an hour away.  We were so irritated that what should have been a 30 minute pickup had turned into a three hour one, Anthony's crappy phone had died only an hour after being unplugged, and I had accidentally left mine at home.  We drove home, already quite deflated, to see most of our possessions taken apart, on the driveway, and ready to be loaded.  Ryan and Amanda had unexpectedly showed up, let Cody in, and Brandon and Lindsay Jones also came to help.  The truck was loaded quickly, and right before we left to go unload, Ray showed up with three of his friends to help.  It was quite heartwarming and we were so grateful for everyone's help.

At 8 months old, Harrison is just a little chunk of love. He is so much fun and has been sleeping sooo much better since we moved and he has his little Woog-cave.  (Somewhere in month 7, he picked up this nickname, based on the sounds I make when playing with him.  Now, he's just "The Woog".)  He's just grasping the concept of being "naughty", and he's pretty proud of himself when I tell him "No!".

So happy that he pulled the tag off of the blinds.

He is up to three solid meals, plus snacks, every day.  He eats so much, yet is still so tiny!

Sorry for the pic overload.  I just can't get enough of his cuteness.

He is such a happy little guy, unless he's tired, then he'll come and headbutt me until I put him to bed.

May has been a terrible rainy/snowy month and we are so ready for some warmth!

Oh well, at least rain turns the pavement into glitter, and everyone knows I'm a sucker for sparkles.

Harrison loves it when his big siblings leave stuff out for him to get into!

We spent Memorial Day over at Nana and Papa's playing with the water stuff Connor got for his birthday!

While the big kids played, Harrison napped, and when I checked on him, he looked like he had his face smushed against the crib bumper.  I bent down to see if he could breathe, and was met with this adorable squishiness.

Bathing "beauties"?

I agree with Marinda - Woog is too darn cute! And I think he's flipping me off in that one picture;) His little toofies are so cute!

Oh my...your children have all grown so much since I saw them last. Alaina looks so professional sitting at her art table.

Conner looks like he is having fun too.

Can't wait to hold them all on the Yellowstone trip.
