Moving, sortof

Well, the big Mitchell move is well underway. We have have a few setbacks, but all is well now.

We left our house on Nov. 30 and planned to stay with Mom & Dad for 1 month. However, we've been here for 2 months now but have definate confirmation that there's only 1 week left until we are in our new house at the acerage.

We're hoping to get some painting done before we move in and I have great new plans for Aerya's bedroom. Who could ever guess that we're going for a princess theme for a 3 year old girl.

I'm really, really excited for the spring when we can start working on the land itself. I have so many ideas and plans that I cannot wait to implement.

Aerya is so looking forward to the acerage. She talks about the landscape all the time and compares it to the trees and frost on our drives around town. She is always pointing out the "beeeeuutiful" trees. She's having a bit of a hard time distinguishing between any group of trees and a forest so I'm excited for her to live in the country.

She's also looking forward to having animals at the farm. She asked last night if she could have her own horse, or at least pretend that Rayne's (our 5-year old neighbor) horses are her own!

We've been preparing Strider for the acerage by taking him out into the field behind Mom & Dad's house to let him romp in the snow. It's so funny because he's a fairly small dog and he bounds through snow drifts twice as high as he is.
