Toronto, Ontario, Canada...EH?

So I have been freaking out lately because I have that little visitor map on my blog- I was just curious to see how many people visit my blog. So I checked up on the map every day and started to get a little worried because someone from Canada has been viewing my blog on a DAILY basis. I don't know anyone in Canada. And then today I was checking up on a few other friends blogs who also have the "Live Site Feeds" and guess what? My blogs site originates from Ontario, Canada! Can you say wierd? And I am officially apologizing to everyone on face book that I lashed out at accusing you of stalking my blog! Ha!

A Pirates Life for Me!




This weekend we decided to take a ride on the trolley by our house and see if we could see a new view of the city. After we got on the trolley, we noticed the majority of everyone was dressed in their Pittsburgh Pirates attire and thought, "hey why not?" So we made a detour and went to the baseball game Saturday night. It was a blast! (and we don't even like baseball...) The stadium is way cool and it was actually an enjoyable family activity! Maybe I will end up becoming a baseball fan!

Adventures in Oz


At Sky Harbor.... forever!

Petey got to sit in the cockpit and take a picture with the Captain! How cool is that?!


And now we arrive in Pennsylvania... the real fun begins...




Have you ever tied down a mattress to the top of your exploder? Neither have we.


As promised, here are the pictures of our house and surrounding area.

Across the street is an elementary school

Here is an exciting thing... its called a ceiling. Wow.

The dining room- though the living room has its own fireplace to match!

The front of the house. I will post 'after pics' when I get everything set up in my house the way I want it... until then...

Word of the Day

Hot. Can you say it? Peter can. And he does! EVERYTHING is HOT! "Hot Car" "HOT cheese" "Hot Truck" "Hot Ball!" Its sooo funny. He doesn't know when it really is hot, but its sure funny to see him add it to random words! I love it!

Moving...to Pittsburgh!

Things I hate about moving (in no particular order)
1. Packing
2. Leaving Friends (esp. Kim and Steve)
3. Leaving Family
4. Leaving Jack
5. Eating out so much
6. Leaving my dirt running trails behind my house

Things that are positive about moving
1. Throwing things away so you don't have to pack as much
2. New place to rearrange and decorate and make 'mine'
3. no more living in my parents basement. (can I get a HECK yes!)
4. Making new friends
5. Exploring a new part of the country
6. Me staying at home to be a full time mommy! Yippee!

Its here at last, and bittersweet! Bryan is on the road in our Exploder w/ Chris and the trailer. We hope it makes it. The transmission is being retarded but no one could figure out the problem, so Bryan decided to chance it cross country... Along the way he will eat at RUDY's, visit his GRANDMA in MISSOURI, and friends in KANSAS CITY.
I get the pleasure of flying instead of driving 40 some odd hours. Peter, thank you!

More to come....
