An update finally!! Moving and Easter...

Wow! It has been a really long time since I updated this blog. I think most of you know that we moved out of our apartment into a house last month. We've been really busy but I think things are finally starting to slow down a little bit.

Our house is a little bigger than our apartment was (still 3 bedroom, 2 bath) but we now have a garage, attic, and a yard! Part of the back yard is fenced in so there is a place for Ariana to play. The neighborhood is really nice, and very peaceful. We really like it here. One of my favorite parts is that I now have a washer and dryer! I'd been having to haul laundry to the apartment laundry room for 5 years, I was so sick of doing laundry. You don't realize how convenient some things are until you don't have them for so long. Here are some pics of the house.

Part of the garage Ben converted into his lair. The other half is still full of boxes to unpack. :(

We had Easter a day early (yesterday) because we knew it was gonna rain today. We took Ariana outside and let her find Easter eggs and an Easter basket. Here are three video clips of her having fun.

Ariana birthday pics

We had a late 1st birthday party for Ariana so my folks could be here from Minnesota for it. She had so much fun opening presents and smashing up her cake.

















This one is a video of her with her cake.
