So much to do, so much to see

The end of last month we moved into our new house, and we are loving it. We are much done unpacking, Nick finally hung up all of the pictures, which always make a house look so much more like a home.

Life has been pretty crazy around here, Nick has spent the last few weeks in the field, and preparing for the field. Another way of getting ready for their deployment next summer. Luckily, it got so windy Sunday morning that the tents were falling over, so he got to come home a week early.

Our old washer officially gave out on us, not great timing after buying a house, but it never really is. We got our new one delivered the day after Nick left, so I hooked it up and started running a cycle, only to come downstairs and find that our bathroom and hallway were flooded. I guess that is what I get for not reading any instructions, and thinking I know what I am doing. Luckily, it was in the basement, so it was not as bad as it could have been, it just means we have to clean our carpets sooner than planned.

I am still doing school, a little over half way with this semester and boy am I glad! I am taking three classes, Math, English writing, and introductory to Psychology. I am managing, and passing all of my classes (some better than others) but I do not think I will ever take three classes again.

 

Like a Kangaroo

We bought William a Johnny Jump Up a few months ago, but he never really had much interest in it unless you were swinging him. We tried again yesterday and he started bouncing like he knew what he was doing! He even started hopping on one foot towards the end.

 

William's First Halloween

Since William is my first, I may have gone a little overboard with this first Halloween pictures, but I just could not help myself! My good friend Gina graciously did a photo shoot for me, so I gathered up some pumpkins, cut out some letters and got William all dressed up and just let him do his thing.

William did so good, playing with the pumpkins and leaves and he only took his hat off once.

We wanted to get a family shot, but Nick had to work late, so I decided to get some shots of just William and me, there are not to many of those around.

 William is such a happy boy, and a joy to have around. Everyone loves him, and we can not make it through a store with out getting stopped at least once. The Yound Women get so distracted by wanting to play with him, Nick has had to start taking him. 

His first year is almost gone, and Nick and I have both loved watching him grow, and his personality flourish. He is crazy sometimes, and always very loud, does not ever sit still but he loves to smile. William is such a great first baby, and I love getting to spend my days with him.
