Thanks to Rosanna for pointing it out, otherwise I would've attributed it to overtired hallucinations after feeding Isabel at 4:30am last night! I heard strange noises and creaking so I woke Alex up and asked what it was - because of course he would be able to explain it, right? Abbie and Izzie both started fussing too.....I was thinking, "Mice?? Big HUGE mice in the attic trapdoor right next to my side of the bed? No, the home inspector would've tipped us off to that." The only explanation I was left with as I got everyone settled again was that our house was haunted. Although I thought, "Since it's only 28 years old isn't it too young to be haunted?" I sure wasn't going to go poking around at 4:30am to check!
Turns out we had a magnitude 5.2 earthquake in central Illinois last night. Nice to have an explanation for the disturbance, however random and unexpected!
Loving the sights out of the bay window...which is always decorated nicely with a smear of handprints :-)
Jammie and storytime...do we look tired?!!!
In other news: We are box-less!! Well, inside at least. We cheated a bit and put everything we don't know what to do with in the garage...but the garage is another project for another day. For now we're enjoying a clutter-free, semi-organized living space again!
Isabel is 8 months old!! She's got five teeth and is a "moving maniac!" A bundle of energy who chuckles mischievously as I pull her away from the stairs for the 20th time in 10 minutes and puts everything and anything in the mouth! She's a joy....
Abbie seems to be adjusting well to the new living arrangements...she loves playing outside in the yard and really enjoys being able to go back and forth from yard to house so easily. She still adamantly insists on wearing our swimsuit most days...I might just have to resign myself and instead of buying spring clothes just get a few more swimsuits.
A shot of the backyard - small but sweet.

Lovely update Katie! Ah, manyfold are the joys of a box-free living area. The yard looks lively and the quakes are few and far between in the midwest. No HUGE mice to my knowledge.

It looks great - look at all the green grass! Can't wait to get out in the yard and play ball with Abbie. Looks like Izzie is ready to start gardening.
