In one week...

 Our First load in the van...Benj was eager to help.

 Cheezy Smile

 Unpacking toys one at a time.

 Always helpful...In all reality, her sleep IS VERY helpful!

It's OFFICIAL, Evie is legally a Cooper!  Such a kind judge.

  The first 'family picture in front of the fireplace' picture!

 Just the two of us...

 She's touching me...

 'Who me?!'

 Based on that smile you would never guess that he was in Time Out.

 The joys of a sucker!

CHEEZE (take two)

Yes, Evie should be sleeping.

Yesterday's View...

Today's view...

Similar to days before...(different outfits at least?)

Scenes from the New-To-Us house...

 The beginnings of a Living Room

 a 3 MONTH OLD! (Yes, it seems MUCH longer...)

 You're so vain...

 Unpacking is HARD work...

 'GQ' checking out his new house

No, we did not ask him to pose.  Yes, he is 'too cool' for us.

Smiles-a-plenty...

Today's View...

 You would think that he was 'productive' with this smile...but No, we have not reached that triumph, yet. 

 Morning Yoga...

NOTE: the make-shift train track (blue painters tape on the floor) connects perfectly to the professionally made train mat track...As we all know it is important for the connections on tracks to be seamless, no need for  a derailment.

Oh...For...Cuteness!

Sleepless in South Bend?

Most nights we (should be read as 'Mommy and the kids') do not sleep well....
Most of the nights, we (should be read as 'Daddy') sleep soundly...
Here is a view from a couple nights ago, when we (should be read as 'all 4 of us') did not sleep well...

...and NO, Daddy does not need sympathy...but he will whine for it regardless.
(Mommy is AMAZING!)

We have the 'key'...

Closing was yesterday. A day to remember.  A day to be thankful for.  A day that we do not want to relive. All that said...We left with a key to our new house. So today...

 Packing to the tune of 'row row row your boat' <insert 'chairs' in phrase>  Notice the life jacket.  Safety First!

 The priorities of unpacking load one...

 Still not pulling her weight when it comes to this move. At least she is cute.

Our FIRST load in the van. Yes, we do plan on using other forms of transportation...but this is what we had today. 

Today's View...

Boxes...

We are going to need a bigger box!

Productivity is subjective...

 Ready for bed (1230p)...

 Peek-a-boo!

A 'Goodnight' treat of Hot Cocoa MAY turn out to be A LOT of work...just saying.

Getting Ready for Church...

Nocturnal American Idol Auditions

Today's View!

 'What did you put in that bottle?!'

Whales vs. Fishes ... Play-Doh edition!
(notice the tongue...takes after his daddy)

Rain, Rain...Go Away Come again another day!

A Week of Family

 While the image is a bit blurry and distorted - the focus should be on the fact that both kids are sitting at the table for supper...This is a milestone for Benj.

 "wha-chu tawkin' 'bout BenBen"

 'Aunt' Rachel and Evie 

Riding the Zoo Choo-Choo with Papa Bob.

Here's lookin' at you, kid...

When in Rome...

'When in Rome...'

TGIF

Yep, that pretty much sums it all up! 

The VIEW from this week's adventures...
