Update... Finally

To start from the beginning... This is where the driver first lost control. Notice the mailbox way up in the tree? This is about 5 houses down the road from us.

A close up of our front door.
So the damage turned out to be not so bad. Obviously the front door and surrounding area will have to be replaced, as well as the pillars on the front porch. There is some damage to the walls inside as well, but the overall structure was not harmed... thankfully. The buyers of our house still want to buy the house which is a miracle to me! The repairs are coming along, which is wonderful. Overall, this turned out to be not has horrible as it could have been. We were very blessed.

CRAZY Week!

Where to begin? I usually don't post without pictures, but this has been a crazy week. I'm not sure how many of you knew this, but Brandon started MBA school this year. So in an effort to save money and not get into debt, we decided to sell our house. Just after Mylee was born, we got a decent offer. Everything was looking really good, so we moved in with Brandon's parents this past week since Brandon had the time of off work. So that was crazy just in itself, moving with a week old baby. Lucky for me, Brandon is a very hard and dedicated worker, and we pretty much got everything done by Friday- thanks to lots of help from family. :) Well, this morning we got a phone call because some idiot crashed into our house! Yes, that's right, after losing control of the car and taking out several of our neighbors mailboxes, this individual cut through our neighbors front yard, through the fence, and ended up on our front porch. But wait, it gets better. The people in the car decided that they could just hide the evidence. So they picked up the broken pieces of their car (and threw some of it in our trash can), took the pillars from our front porch that they knocked out and through them behind our trash can, and then pushed their car next door into the credit union parking lot, called a tow truck, and fled on foot. Lucky for us, there were footprints in the fresh snow and a little trail of blood so we could see exactly what they 'tried' to do. Some nice person driving by saw what was going on and called the police, and the police were able to capture these not so smart people. Anyways, I will update more about this later....

More Pictures!








Now that we are nice and settled at home, here are some more pictures! Mylee Jo is so beautiful, and we are sooo happy she is here! Canon adores her; it is soo sweet. He likes to give her kisses and hugs. We are helping him learn how to be gentle with her. He likes to poke her eyes and pat her head just a little too hard. :) Mylee Jo is going to have to get used to having such a loving brother.
Mylee Jo loves to be held, cuddled, and pampered. She especially loves it when Brandon tickles her face. It is fun to see her little personality, and we are so blessed to have such a sweetheart in our family.
