Michigan roads

After driving around here for a few weeks I am really annoyed by the roads here. They have this things here called the "Michigan U-turn". This means that at most lights you cannot turn left. So what you have to do is drive father down the road, then do a U-turn, then you can make a right turn. I don't understand why you couldn't just save some time and make a left turn in the first place. They need to come out west and see the right way to construct roads. Hehe

New Words

Janalee has finally learned the words "no" and "don't". So now when she goes to touch something she knows she shouldn't she will tell herself "no, don't". It is really funny. Also Shaun and her have started to have special daddy/daughter time at night. They go into her room and play together. He taught her how to push the button to her toy and then she claps because she is so proud of herself. Aren't they cute together! play time

New boots

Grandpa Simmons gave Janalee some new snow boots for her birthday. We tried them on yesterday, they are a little big, but she will grow into them. They are really cute ones!

the coolest couch in the world!

We have been looking for furniture for a while up here. We haven't been able to find a couch that isn't ridiculously expensive. When we were looking for air mattresses we came across the coolest couch in the world. So we just had to get it. Check it out!

But wait, there is more. Now it is our bed!


Ya, we just thought this was one of the coolest things we have seen so we had to get it. Not the most comfortable couch in the world, but defiantly the coolest. Haha!!

MICHIGAN

So we are all here in Michigan now. It was a long trek to get here. I had a long flight with Janalee; and Shaun and his brother Aaron had a very long drive. We are here now and trying to get settled in. We have most of the boxes unpacked, but it is kind of messy still because we don't have a lot of furniture yet. We found the jack-pot thrift store today though!! We had gone to others and they were really expensive. Today we found a desk for 10 bucks and a table and chair set for 24 bucks. Not to shabby. Now all we need to find is a couch. Michigan in nice- right now. It is really pretty outside with the leaves changing and the weather has been nice. But I am told that it won't last too much longer- sad day. I took a video from our front porch so you can see a little bit of where we are now. I will try to be good and update this more now. I have some video from Janalee's birthday, but I am having problems downloading it. I will get Shaun and work on that. Alright that is all for now. Bye!
