Pictures soon to come

The past few weeks have been busy! We have been living in our house for a full week now, and we absolutely LOVE it! We don't have the Internet yet, but I can occasionally "borrow" nearby (unreliable) wireless connections. So I will post some pictures when we get the Internet. But until then, here are some of things I haven't had time to write about:

One of the best things about our house it is that we can play the piano as much as we want! Before we moved, our upstairs neighbors would pound on the floor whenever we played. We hardly got to play the piano, and we missed it! I think we have played it more in the past week than we did the whole two years at our old apartment. So YEAH for the piano!

Grant is doing great in his new room. However, the first night we were here, he hardly slept. He kept waking up scared like he knew that he was in a different place. I didn't think a nine-month-old would notice, but he did!

Grant had his nine-month-old checkup this week. He is healthy, long and lean at 18.5 lbs and 28.75 in. He started eating "table foods" this week and can crawl great...backwards. It is hilarious to watch him get further away from what he wants when he tries to crawl to it.

Wind. Okay, so somehow I always forget how windy it gets here and how much I dislike it. Our lawn is just dirt right now so our windows and door are just plastered with mud from the past few days of crazy wind!

"Enchanted"- Our friends introduced us to this movie last week, and can I just say--hysterical! We loved this movie. I'll admit I had my doubts, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was laughing the whole time! I highly recommend it and can't wait to own it!

And a big THANK YOU!! To our friends and family and everyone who helped us move, clean, unpack, etc. You are all great!

House Update

We closed on our house today! We are really excited. Our contract for our apartment lasts until the end of the month, so we aren't moving until next Saturday. That way I can take a week to pack and clean everything up. We are moving one box over there tonight, just so it feels like it's ours! And we'll shovel out the driveway with some help from family (thanks!)- it has accumulated a lot of snow! We feel extremely blessed, way beyond what we deserve!

Okay, and I had to include something about Grant, since I spend most of my time taking care of him. This is a video of him playing with his latest toy- a funnel. He jabbers a little on it, but mostly he's screaming. Funny boy!

Moving

This is Grant being trained up the way he should be. Haha.

The past week has been exciting and a little nervewracking. We signed a contract for our first house! We will be moved in by the end of this month. It was the very first house we looked at. We went through a bunch more and decided that this one was still our favorite. We are sad to leave our ward and neighborhood, but we are looking forward to being in a house!
