All About AnnaBelle

-

I'm calling it official. AnnaBelle is potty trained. YEAH! We have 0-1 accidents in a day, unless we are playing with water, then she almost always has one. Something about watching water pouring.... She is dry sometimes at nap and never at night, but the daytime thing is big enough!
Today was also her first pig tails!
We didn't think there could be a kid with less hair than Genevieve and then there was AnnaBelle! Here is her first pigtails at 22 months!
Otherwise we are still trucking. And no there is no new news for the car thing.

Old Enough to Know Better but too young to Care

We're doing something. It might be a bad idea. Honestly we've both looked at each other and said, "This is a bad idea." Here's the shortest version I can give you. In seventy-two hours or less, we will buy our dream house in the middle of no where, off grid, with issues (like a whole house heat set-up), with everything that touches the house costing more money. More on how we got to this point later.  For now some of the nitty gritting. We are moving as a family of five. We would not consider ourselves adventurers or outdoor enthusiasts although we enjoy doing things together outside. Following is the progression of bumps and choices we chose to make and continued to pursue the house of our dreams.  1. This house has four miles of rough road travel that is only snowmobile friendly in winter-yes I will have to snowmobile to my car to drive to work.--if you know me, the answer is yes I do know that I will have a 75 minute commute.  2. The new house is solar, but it ...

Why on Earth

video version Why would we do such a thing? About us: we are a family of five with two teenagers and an elementary age. We found our dream house but it is in the middle of nowhere. So we packed us all up and moved with all of us excited and onboard. We moved off grid and off road.  Why:  1. We needed some upgrades to our existing house and we just didn't love our house. It was what we needed 15 years ago, but never the place we loved. Time to look at what was out there.  2. The new house had to be what we loved. Wow factor (yes I want to wake up here everyday). We found it and fell in love.  3. COVID highlighted several things. If your going to be stuck at home for 9 months or more, you should really enjoy your space.  4. Time. COVID highlighted that time is an unknown. Waiting to get to a "dream house" or place we really wanted seemed silly. What if it never happened because of death, injury, or our steady work changed? Now was a time we could do it...

Thanksgiving Week

Do we ever stop?! Anyone who knows us, well okay anyone reading this hopefully knows us. Anyway, we had a huge busy weekend and we won't be stopping anytime soon. I don't know why people say things slow down in the fall and winter because we are like the energizer bunny. On Friday we went to a huge super birthday party at Gid's parents to celebrate four or five birthdays. I was great fun, tons of people, I am of course looking forward to having 20 people at my house next month for Gevie's party. Saturday Gid went hunting most of the day and didn't see a thing, he and his brother are convinced the deer are waiting until Sunday at dusk to come out and then all the hunters will here a barrage? of champagne bottles opening. Singnaling the deer celebrating our defeat. Oh and Sara took the girls with Oma and Rhonda to a craft sale in Schroeder. Sunday we went to my Dad's house for Lasagne (Sara had some creamy pesto ravioli, good but not lasagne good). We saw Ben and ...
