New house

Well, we are mostly settled into our new place in Edmonds. Its really a lovely house, and it suits us well for our current life. It's going to be an adjustment to live in a such a quiet place. We have gotten used to quite a bit of hustle and bustle in the city. It doesn't feel like home yet, but hopefully it will soon! Here are some photos of us during and after the move.

Moving

Well, we are really and truly in process now for our move this weekend. We have lots packed, but it seems like there is lots left to do, as well. Reinforcements are arriving on Friday in the form of the Yost grandparents and great aunt Barb, which is going to help so much! Josie seems totally unphased by the chaos in the household right now which hopefully bodes well for the transition to the new place.
Also newsworthy- my grandfather had a bad fall a week and a half ago, and broke his C1 vertebrae. He was in the ICU in Harborview, and we were all very worried! This week he transitioned to the regular floor and then home with amazing speed! He is doing really well. A full recovery will take a while, but I am so happy to report that things are really looking up.
Here are a couple current photos of Josie.

Eric's 29th Birthday

Eric turned 29 on August 5th, and we went out for a burger and cupcakes to celebrate. Josie also made him a lovely piece of art work (credit for that fun idea goes to my mama friend Cara.

Video mania 2

Well, we've got a bit of a backlog of videos we have taken of Josie, back to her baby group birthday party in July. So here are a few cute ones: dancing with her otter, trying to walk in moms shoes, and the babies vs cake melee from the baby group party (warning: that one is 6 mins long... sorry for the lack of editing).
