Welcome Back Sports Fans...
We are officially settled in here in West By God. Just one more box to unpack. Yesterday was Dad's first day at work and today Grandma Margie and Grandpa Dean came down to visit and watch the WVU vs. Marshall Game -- an intrastate rivalry here that is a wannabe Civil War (the fabled annual game between the University of Oregon and Oregon State University). But whereas the Oregon intrastate game has a decent name -- the Civil War for those of you who may have forgotten since reading the previous sentence -- the game in WV is called the Friends of Coal Bowl. A supposed "grass roots" group came up with a million dollars (from the coal industry no doubt) and bought the naming rights). The game was filled with commercials promoting the destruction of WV's environment and economy. Dad kept making this sound like he was throwing up a little bit in his mouth, but he feels better now and has agreed to help me post some pictures to my blog so that people quit bothering me about it.
For the record, we did escape Rock Port, MO, largely unscathed, but Dad may have some cool scars to show later.
Now, to the pictures:
Here is the fleet of rigs that it took to move us from Or-y-gun to West By God:
If you are ever in Evanston, WY, and need a place to stay, check out this place. Its clean, cheap, and the rooms are huuuuuuuuuuugggggeeee:
Here is a picture of our new digs: a 100-year old farmhouse with crystal doorknobs, a creepy basement, and a probable ghost or two to find before Halloween:
Mom and Dad like to swing with me on the front porch swing:
I have two new teeth but I won't show them to you; we don't know each other well enough and I'm not that kind of girl. But I am working on my walking and standing. Here I am working on my crane kick like that Karate Kid dude:
And for those of you who were worried, I am still as cute as ever.
Did I hear you say diva?
What can I say?

Delia-
I'm sooooo glad that you guys made it to WV safely!
I LOVE the house. There is nothing any better than living in an old house that has character. We live in an old house also. It doesn't have a tin roof on it...yet. But I want one!
I love to swing on my front porch also. I like to watch all of the birds.
Tell your Daddy that we want him to be our next Governor! We need a good one.
You look like a 'Country Baby' in your pretty shirt & jeans. I can't wait to meet you & your Mommy.
Take care,
Lesley

Your new home is awesome! I love the table and chairs on the porch. It looks like you'll have lots of grass to play and run on.
Your hair is getting sooo long! It's always overnight that all the teeth start coming in and your beautiful locks start growing. Look out West By God here she comes!!
We miss you,
Mellisa and Emma
PS Emma wants to say a few words...
