We Moved!

Boy has it been a crazy couple of weeks! For one, we moved! We are officially in our new house and as I posted on facebook yesterday, I think I unpacked the last of the boxes yesterday. Jon had to work in La Junta, CO last week so Hannah and I decided to go with him. Despite being a little ghetto, we really enjoyed our time there. I will write more about that later. I also got offered a job. I have had some really mixed feelings about it, but most of the time I am very excited. I won't start until July 1st, so Hannah and I will still get to spend a week in Louisiana with our family. Also since I will not be starting until July 1st, I was offered the option to work part time, which is fabulous! So I will be working 30 hours a week for Pikes Peak Community College, which means that I will still be eligible for health insurance, sick leave, vacation, etc! That's the part that I am pumped about! Also, in the midst of all this, Hannah has perfected her walking skills, which really is more like a part run, part walk, part "I'm going too fast so I need to stop abruptly so that I won't fall." It's a pretty successful pattern for her and gets her where she needs to go. She's also been practicing feeding herself with a spoon now that we have hardwood floors in the kitchen/dining room instead of carpet! Oh! And I think that she has gotten four teeth since I last posted something...not sure if that's old news or not but you should be able to see her new pearly whites in a few of the photos. So, like I said, we've been busy! Here are a few of the pictures that I've taken along the way!Wishing she could get past the rocks to go eat some of that yummy looking green grass! Or maybe just wishing that she could go on an adventure!
Standing/walking like a pro all over the Nissan dealership while waiting on our oil change.

"Helping" me unpack the kitchen. I put a can away, she pulls it out & then puts it back.

Apparently pooped out after all the unpacking so she had to pull the cheerios out and have a snack.

Hannah, sporting some sweet hair after a nap!

First attempt at eating cottage cheese by herself. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either! Let's just say that since she starting feeding herself, she gets multiple baths a day!

Sporting the bling! I had taken my rings off to put some lotion on and Hannah stole my ring. I helped her get it onto the right finger for a picture!

She must be exhausted from all of the chaos that moving has brought because she has fallen asleep like this multiple times in the evenings.

I love that she still loves to snuggle!

Driving her car in on our back patio. Since it's been really warm out the last few weeks, we have had to open the windows and doors (our house doesn't have a/c). Hannah has taken this opportunity to escape to the patio, deck, front stairs, etc. whenever possible in order to get outside! Fortunately there are rocks in the back and she's far too much of a chicken to try to cross them...for now anyway!

Hannah has quickly taken a liking to most of the things that we like. I have a hard time with this because I don't want to share everything yummy that I eat, so I've decided it might be time to get Hannah her own stuff every once in a while! This day, she got her very own Jamba Juice. We make smoothies at home every once in a while so I knew that she really liked them. She had a death grip on her drink the whole time we were in Target and even drank about half. Now that's a good lunch!

Hannah improved her taste on Bling from wrapping tape to a diamond ring. Learning early that diamonds are a girls best friend. LOL:) And I love every picture you have posted. Keep them coming. Hannah is being a great helper. Love it all! MOM
