Alayna Turns 3 & We Are Moving!!!

So many changes taking place in our home right now. First of all, we have prayerfully decided that on Saturday, October 3rd, we will be moving to Erie, PA. Our plan is to move in with my dad, and Dave will work carpentry with my dad and brother until we can get settled. As you know, this has been a difficult summer for me emotionally, and being near family will be very healing for all of us.

In the middle of packing & moving Alayna had her third birthday, yesterday (Monday). We celebrated on Sunday with Dave's family, at Dave's Grandma's home. All three of our kids spent Saturday night with Dave's mom and Grandma, and Dave & I drove up Sunday afternoon to have dinner with everyone, and enjoy the day together.

Here's some pics from our day...thanks again to Dave's Grandma for the delicious dinner, and for making Alayna's birthday cake!

Blowing out the candles.






Dave & I bought her a Baby Alive doll. Julie has one, and they both love it. Twenty Dollars for a doll that pees...I will never understand this. :)




Playing with her new Kazoo, going down the slide...that's the life!


The girl cousins! Lily (Nathan & Kristy's daughter), Julie & Alayna.


Five of the nine Miles Grandkids...Dave & Nathan were hidden behind the stump holding up the boys.




Happy Birthday my sweet girl! We love you so much!
