The Parents make the big move!

My parents finally made the big move into assisted living. This has been something we have talked about and had been planning for years. Mother was finally ready and we all agreed it was the best thing for them and our family. We looked at a lot of places and finally found the right one. Ironically, they are only 6 minutes away from Barb & Jake's new home and about 20 for me and Bill. So far things are going well and everyone is adjusting. My dad likes to chat with everyone and seems really happy. My moms calendar seems to be filling up! I only want the best for them. I also hope my mom will meet some new friends and I will see the social butterfly that she is come out again! :)

This is at the new place in their room.


This was moving day. This picture was taken at my place.


Mother, Bill & Baby Bryan taking a break at the new place.



Allstar Baby


Here is Bryan just playing. Mommy loves his super cute outfit....well plus his wide eyes and expressions. :) Eric's mom made the quilt.



Cousins

Bryan had the first of many pictures with his cousins today. I really look forward to them growing up together. Patty had the great idea of having pictures taken in their Halloween costumes. We thought we would make it an annual tradition....and hopefully after today, Patty will still want to do that. Jae was a Transformer, I am not sure of the technical name, he would have to tell you that. Jae did not want to wear the front part of his costume, I'm not sure why because I thought it was cool. Hannah was an owl, but not any owl. She was a rare species called a crying owl. Oh....these crying owls do not like their pictures taken! She cried and cried....nothing like our smiling Hannah. Maybe she had a bad vibe from the photographer??? Bryan was Tigger....a sleeping Tigger. I will have to post a photo of all three after Halloween. We did get one of Bryan.

Oh....I forgot Bryan's Halloween socks! I was not about to take the costume off and his outfit off and put the costume back on! Tigger just has shoes now! ;)
