Saturday:
Saturday was insanely busy for us as we moved into our new home. We were supposed to get the keys at noon, but had a couple issues with the previous tenants crop up that delayed our start.
We ended up getting moved in with the help of my parents and brother, my aunt Marla, my cousin and her two kids, another cousin, and a few of Caleb's friends.
Sunday:
The next day we drove out to my aunt and uncle's house for Sunday dinner. My grandparents were in town as well as my older sister's family, plus another of my cousins was in town with her husband. It was quite the get-together and there was no way I was going to miss it!
The kids had a blast playing with friends and cousins, and spent time on the swings with daddy.
My older sister got to meet Liam for the first time and hold him as well!
Monday:
On Monday my wonderful cousin, Sara, came down from Twin Falls to help me clean the dirty townhome and do some unpacking. I'm appalled to see that I didn't take a single picture of her, but I assure you I was so excited to see her and so appreciative of all her help!
Tuesday:
Wednesday:
My older sister's family stopped by for a little while and my sister took some pictures of Liam and I which I am very excited to see!
Thursday:
Sara headed home to Twin that afternoon, and the kids missed her! Connor called her "Shan'rie" the entire time she was with us. He told me multiple times. "Mommy, Shan'rie gone... where Shan'rie go?" Thanks for all your help, my wonderful cousin! We sure love ya!
Evelynn and Liam wore themselves out that day, but Connor probably would have stayed up all night if I'd let him.
Friday:
Caleb's family came into town! My mother-in-law, Deanna, and youngest sister-in-law, Macie arrived that afternoon, and Parker, Katelyn, and Shandrie arrived that night after most everyone in the house had headed to bed.
Grandma Anderson was excited to meet baby Liam!
Saturday:
Saturday morning there were more introductions to baby Liam. I'm quite a slacker with the pictures, apparently, because I didn't take a single one of Aunt Katelyn holding Liam!
There was also a trip to the grocery store.
Some haircuts, including Aunt Katelyn, Aunt Macie, Evelynn's first REAL haircut, and a trim for Connor.
And then we ended the day by participating in a family reunion for Grandma Anderson's family, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed! They had daddy, Uncle Parker, and Aunt Shandrie take them down the slide multiple times, even though they were freezing in 80 degree weather. (Poor Arizona babies... it's gonna take some time to adjust to swimming in less than 100 degrees! haha!)
Sunday:
All our guests had to head home Sunday afternoon, so the kids made sure to say their goodbyes with lots of kisses!
Monday:
I had a friend invite me to a playdate. You may be thinking, "Already making new friends?! Go Rebecca!" but it was actually a friend I grew up with in Nampa who lives close by. I was so excited about getting out of the house with the kids! We went to a nearby splashpad and the kids loved it (including Liam who slept through it all)!
Tuesday:
My daughter thinks her daddy's new computer desk is a perch for her to sit on while she stares at the computer screen and loudly demands to watch YouTube shows. It's not. But she hasn't caught on to that detail yet. She's mastered the cute pwwwweeeeese face though that often gets her what she wants!
Yesterday (Tuesday) our day was filled with cleaning and attempting to finish unpacking this place with the help of my cousin and aunt. Thanks for your help!
