Phew! We're finished!

This past week was a very busy week for me! Last Saturday we started really organizing our things and packing what we need for our move to OH. We started by going through everything to be sure that the movers wouldn't pack things that we need or didn't want and then we loaded our cars up with as much heavy stuff as we could fit. (We get paid for the stuff we take in our cars to OH by weight) Even though we're not actually going until August we had to make sure that it would all fit when we do leave! We finally finished all of our packing on Sunday after a great Mother's Day.

Also, Jordan gave me roses and they both brought me breakfast in bed! Here are some

pictures from Mother's Day:

On Monday, the packers came to begin the process of packing all of our stuff into boxes. They worked most of the day and finished up on Tuesday morning. Tuesday afternoon the movers came and packed everything on the truck!

Also, Bill was in town and came over for lunch Tuesday. We had a great time visiting and Liza decided that she found a good place to sleep.

Wednesday I got a chance to organize our stuff where we're staying now and Thursday I hung out at our house while the cleaners came and cleaned everything! (Even the oven and the refrigerator! It was great!) Friday was the rehearsal for my friend's wedding. We had to decorate before and after and Saturday was the wedding! Today we went to church and then to lunch with our friends Caleb and Manda. Finally, this afternoon we've had a chance to relax. It's been great to put my feet up and not worry about anything for a couple of hours.

Liza has been great through all of the busyness but she's starting to get into everything! She surprised me twice on Thursday when she managed to squirm out of a few places where she previously could not. Let me show you what I mean:

When I was paying the cleaning lady and getting my stuff ready, I left Liza in her car seat (unbuckled) for 5 minutes tops. When I came back, this is what I found:



Later the same day you would think that I had learned my lesson but I had not. I put Liza in her bouncer while I did some dishes. When I heard Liza grunting I thought she was just trying to grab the hanging toys like normal so I didn't turn around to look. When I finally did check on her I found her trying to reach Heidi's ball:

She sure is a cutie! She loves to roll around everywhere and get into whatever she can get her hands on. She especially loves to pull on the curtains.

6 months

Things are busy for the Firth Family this week! The movers are coming on Monday so we're working on getting everything ready and organized. Liza doesn't care if we're busy or not she still has growing to do and she's good at it! Here are some recent pictures of little Liza who isn't so little anymore. Today, our precious baby girl is 6 months old!

This one is from a Seder Dinner that I went to just before Easter

Hey I'm awake in here! Let me out!

Leave her alone for one second and she starts eating the flowers...

This one is for the Firths:

Still hates tummy time but it's getting better

Liza is VERY good at sitting up now. It won't be long before she's doing it all the time on her own.
