In Want of a House Elf

In August we found out that the house we're renting was going up for sale. Bummer. So we started looking for a new place to live. We found a nice place but they weren't opening up until December 1st. At that time our house hadn't sold, so we decided to go for it. Then on October 7th we got a phone call telling us that the house had sold and we had to be out on the 31st of October!! Ahhh! That is why I want a house elf. If you have no idea what a house elf is, please go read Harry Potter. You're missing a great adventure anyway if you haven't read it.

Anyway, we've been extremely blessed. The place we were going to move into on December 1st is now available on November 6th. So now instead of being homeless for a month it will only be a week. :) We've also been greatly blessed with friends letting us stay in their home while they are away on vacation, and friends letting us store all of our belongings in their garage so we don't have to rent a storage unit. Very, very kind people.

And I'm not complaining, but it would be so great to have a house elf to finish up the packing and cook dinner. So if any of you know the name of a good house elf, please let me know. :)

Bath Time!

Myles' hair has gotten pretty long and the other day when Jandi gave him a bath she gave him a shamhawk. (I know it sounds lame, but it's better than shampoo mohawk, fauxhawk, or poohawk).

Anyhow, that picture led to others and they were so funny and cute that we had to share them with everyone else.

I am Swamp Thing! AARRGGH!!!

Ahh, rest and relaxation

And finally,

"No Pictures Please, No Pictures."

I love Wonder Bread!

Usually I am a devout wheat bread eater, but how can you say 'no' to white bread when it looks this cute?!

My sister Tess and her husband Ryan bought this Wonder Bread Halloween costume from Honks a while ago. So when we were visiting them in Boise over the weekend we had to put it on Myles! :)

We all agreed that the top of the costume looks like cow ears with colored spots, but regardless he still looks adorable! And funny! :)

Vacation!

Kenny took some of his vacation time this past week so we went down to Ely, Nevada to visit his parents. My sister-in-law, Charity, and her family live there and my other sister-in-law, Krista, came down to visit with her family. All the Ludwig grandkids were together for the first time! We had a very fun, relaxing time! Here are some of our favorite pics from the trip.
Myles got hungry on the way over so we pulled out the high chair and set it up in a parking lot. He LOVED watching all the cars and trucks go by. I'm considering permanently moving his high chair outside for mealtimes.

On our way back home we stopped in Boise to see my little sister Tess. She is having her baby boy in October!! She has the cutest baby belly ever! We got to be there for her baby shower and my older sister, Ylfe, surprised her by coming to the shower as well. It was so fun to be together!!! Mom and Krystal, we missed you!

We had such a great time on our vacation together. It was great to see so much family!! Thanks to all for making time for us. We love you!

Wrestle Mania!

Myles loves to wrestle anything and everything. Among his favorites are balls, stuffed toys, water bottles, and his big blue truck. If he sees my water bottle on the floor he army crawls as fast as he can to it and knocks it down.

I love the look in his eyes and the scrunch of his nose that he gets when he's wrestling. He's intense! We call it his snootchie face. Hopefully one of these days we'll capture that on camera.

Fang Baby

Myles is teething like crazy! Ever since we moved his teeth haven't stopped coming. He's now working on tooth number five and I think number six will shortly follow. He has his two bottom front teeth in place and to our surprise he's getting his two upper fangs. It's hilarious! It is also very hard to capture on camera, but Kenny managed to get one of his fangs the other day.

So here is our little vampire baby!

I Look Cute and Other Stuff

Since I returned from my lonely sojourn in SoCal life has been a flurry of activity: catching up with Myles and hugging Jandi, playing with Myles and kissing Jandi, hugging Myles and catching up with Jandi, and a few other less important things.

I also wanted to post some pictures that we took that are really fun (for us anyway ;] )
