Moving Day 11/20/10

Yea for moving day! We finally, finally got our house and recruited lots of help for moving day. Like 8 vehicles worth of help! Here are the 6 men it took to carry in the desk. Thanks for the muscles guys.


We started eating to save our strength. Supervising the guys is a lot of work!
And the kids played. I am so happy I have enough space for everyone.
CJ and I are so grateful for the miracle that occurred for us to get this house. For the many miracles and for the help of family to get me settled. CJ won't be moving in until sometime next year.

My sister wrote a book!

Here is the info. from her blog...
What happens when you mix five modern teenagers with five fairy tale princesses? Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, and Snow White Princess are cousins (and best friends) stuck with names they're not too fond of...and now together they must face the challenge of getting ready for high school--a world where fitting in is definitely a must. But how will they ever fit in when they're destined to stand out? Or, perhaps more importantly, how will their friendship ever survive when the five Princesses all set their minds on one prince?

The Princess Sisters is a fun, young adult fiction novel about friendship, finding yourself, and learning how to tell apart a prince from a frog. It's geared toward tween and teenage girls, but the pop culture references and themes of boys and friendship can be enjoyed by women of all ages! The Princess Sisters can be purchased from Barnes and Noble:

For the Howell Family dinner in October, Mom decorated some cupcakes and taught us how to copy the design.

Ian's birthday

No kidding, first try and blindfolded, Ian put the nose on the clown! No one else even came close! Smart kid.
Ian and Josie- she is darling, no wonder he asked her to marry him.
Kristine is so creative and talented with the cakes! She found the design online and copied it.
