We Made It

Well, we're officially moved into our new house and sorting through all the boxes to unpack. Our computer still isn't hooked up, so there might be a little lull before I get to post some more pictures, however, once we're online and hooked up to our cameras again, I'll be sure to post some pictures of the new place. We're all enjoying it very much so far. Nina is loving all the extra room to run around, and Mark and I are really liking our new home and neighborhood and are just glad to not be house selling/hunting, packing, moving, etc. anymore for awhile. We hope everyone got our new information, but if not, you can email me at amandabeth2@gmail.com and I can give you our new info! We'll be back with updates soon!

Boo Boo

To get Nina out of the house and take a break from packing, I thought it would be a fun idea to walk over to the playground. Well, on the way there, Nina caught the toe of her shoe on something on the sidewalk and took a hard fall. Unfortunately, she fell to her hands and knees, but then the head hit too. I think everyone in our entire zip code heard the cry that resulted, but she toughened up after I carried her back home, and soon after she was running around as if nothing happened.

Chuck E. Cheese

Shenley and I took the girls to Chuck E. Cheese this evening, and they really had a great time. Since it wasn't very crowded, they got to ride as many of the little kid rides as they wanted, and we think they had a great time. Even Ryleigh seemed to enjoy the sights and sounds of everything!

A Fun Game

My favorite sign of the evening!

The best shot I could get with my little digital camera
Bo and my Dad. Bo is wearing a commemorative jersey DC United wore this past spring in support of the victims of the VT shooting. It's Fred's #7 jersey.
One hot and sweaty baby...

Last night was David Beckham's MLS debut, and we were on hand to enjoy the game. It ended up being perfect because we got to see Beckham play, but DC United still won, so it all came out great! It was a long evening for Nina. We were there early to tailgate, it was an infamous August day in DC (miserably hot and humid), but she had fun with my mom, dad, and Bo, and crashed hard on the way home from the game.
Here is Nina's recap of the evening:

It's been a busy life

The past few weeks have been pretty crazy around here. Mark has a packed travel schedule, our current house is under contract, so we're house hunting around the clock to find somewhere to move to, we're packing, selling a car, bought a car, and trying to keep up with our busy little girl in the process. On occasion, the busy schedule gets to her, and she just crashes.

Favorite Things

At 14 months, Nina has definitely changed her favorite things. Some things remain the same - she still loves her blankie, her lion, and shoes. However, climbing on everything is the new obsession. She has always liked climbing stairs, but lately it's been climbing on our couches, climbing on the coffee table (even though that's a big no-no), and any sort of playground apparatus of which she has no fear of falling off of. Another favorite is sneaking off with our cell phones. She was caught in the act this morning when I was cleaning up from breakfast and noticed things were alarmingly quiet in the next room. She had evidentally reached to the top of the dining room table, gotten the phone, and climbed on her favorite chair to try to make some calls!
