we've moved in!

All I can say about moving is Thank-goodness for family! We have gotten all moved in and are starting to get settled now. I don't know how we would have ever gotten through the move without our family to help. I love them! I wish more of them lived closer. Maybe one day we will be able to figure out how to do that.
In the meantime we are still working on projects, unpacking and trying to keep Izzy out of danger. With the hectic move and mini-renovations, she is discovering all sorts of new things. Everytime we turn around she finds something new (to her) to get into. It's almost like Christmas for her - she just keeps opening up things and playing in the boxes as well as dragging things out for us. She is really good at copying what we do, so I can't blame her. Nothing really has "it's place" yet and we are painting and working on bouquouts of projects so, we have to keep a sharp eye out for her. She is loving the extra free space to run around and play and is as happy as ever.
Maybe we're super lax parents, but we really don't baby proof our house. We put locks on the cabinets with chemicals and we keep the sharp objects away from her reach, but other than that, we figure it's Izzy's home too, why lock it up to her? And I think she does pretty good. She is actually a very good listener and incredibly smart. She also thinks she is 3 years old. So each day she learns something new and each day I'm amazed at her little talents and abilities. We are figuring out our routine and looking forward to being settled very soon! (sooner than later, I hope!)

Miss Izzy is not a fan of her high chair, she'd rather sit (or stand) at the table to eat)
Izzy had her first taste of Ketchup chips (from Canada) and loved them! I was so excited that she took after me and my weird love for ketchup chips! This little girl will eat just about anything!

And as you can tell from the pictures, we have a long way to go on decorating the house!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
