Broken Record

I know, I know, if you have heard it once from me, you have heard it a thousand times ... we have been so busy it has been difficult to post. A lot has been going on - we moved! We are now sorta settled in St. Louis - Saint Peters to be exact. Well, that isn't really exact. Apparently our mailing address is Saint Peters but we technically live in O'Fallon. I dont' really have any idea if that means much, but that is where we are if you are looking for us :) I'll post pictures of the house soon.

The pictures at the top a from a photoshoot we had at the Olathe house. Mallory is 6 months old in the pics and Keira almost 4 1/2. Yikes how they get big quick!

So here are some quick updates:

Keira: She loves the new house - it is a ranch style home, so she likes to run from one end to the other. Fun. She also loves the new playset in the back (pics to come). But her favorite, favorite feature is that we have a family of bunnies living in the back yard. She has named them Hoppy, Carrot, and Thumper (well, maybe Daddy named the last one). They are super tame and Keira can get to where she can get within about 3 feet of them before they hop away. And even then, they just hop so they are about 10 feet away, not even out of the yard. (They aren't afraid of Peanut either - if she gets after them, they just hop to the other side of the fence and look at her!). We have found her a new preschool at a church that is about 3 miles away. We got to tour it on tuesday.

Mallory: She just turned 7 months old. She has sitting up mastered and is just desperate to crawl. She can get up on hands and knees and does the rocking thing, but hasn't figured out how to move yet. Mostly she gets frustrated, falls flat down and then kicks her arms and legs furiously and screams until someone comes and picks her up! She totally adores Keira - smiles everytime Keira pays any attention to her at all. She is a super smiley girl - everyone tends to stop and talk to us at the grocery store because Mal can't let anyone pass without a smile.

Wade: Wade is definetly enjoying not having to drive back and forth to Saint Louis anymore. He is not really enjoying the huge backyard we have when it comes to mowing though - I think a riding lawn mower is on his list to Santa this year.

Me: What can I say about me, trying to get settled, get the house in order, find my way around (what would I do without a Garmin???), trying to find stuff for Keira to do (so far we are signed up for swim lessons in June and T-ball in July), get dinner on the table, ya know, just the standard stuff! Mostly, I am tired. But hey, I've got my whole life to sleep, right?!?

I will get some pics of the house this weekend and we are headed to the zoo tomorrow, so I will try to post some of those pics too. I am really excited about the zoo - we have heard lots of great things - here is hoping it lives up to the hype!
