Happy Birthday to Ben on Monday!

Tuesday we heard from our friends, Floortje and Juanma, that their 8-month-old daughter had a fever all week and had a seizure on Saturday.  They were very tired and worked up about it.  Their doctor said she would be just fine but I can't imagine how scary that would be.  We took them dinner that night and checked on them throughout the week.  They were able to sleep and learn more about what happened and not be so scared about it happening again.
We got approved for our apartment in Austin and will be moving on May 14th.  In preparation, we sold some of our stuff on Facebook and are starting the packing process.

Happy Birthday to Whitney on Friday!
Sunday I took bread to all my ministering sisters and found out my companion, Brooklynn, is pregnant with a boy!  We're so excited for her and her husband.  They are thinking of the name Theodore.  We also had the Erekson's over for dinner.  I made chicken parmesan and Alissa brought over garlic bread and brownies.

Mary was still having a hard time sleeping and would get up 3-5 times per night.  Sunday night it rained and cooled down and she didn't get up until 5:30 am.  I am very excited to move to an apartment that will have working AC so she can get a good night's rest.  She has started grabbing her toes this week and is becoming more coordinated with reaching for what she is looking at.  She has a toy that she will grab and bring to her mouth.  We love how smiley she is and hearing her laugh.

10 Months   Happy birthday to Hannah on Tuesday.  I was able to vote and then Mary and I went to the library and had a play date with another family in the ward.  Mary turned 10 months on Thursday!  We went to the playground and she absolutely loved the slide.  Friday Addie came over for a play date.  We watched Toy Story, played with Mary's toys and books, and made pumpkin cookies.  I got a cute picture of the girls wearing aprons.  Happy birthday to Grandpa Sam on Saturday.  We went to a little Christmas Market on Saturday morning and it got us in the Christmas shopping mood.  We went to the mall with Matt, Hannah, and Addie afterward.  We got the girls matching pajamas and took pictures with Mall Santa.  Mary was okay at first then got scared. We got our tickets to come to Utah for Christmas.  We can't wait to see everyone!

Minnie Mouse for Halloween   We didn't really do anything for Halloween because Mary is too little for trick or treating but we did watch a Halloween movie when Paul got home from work and we dressed Mary up as Minnie Mouse for the day.  Helping with the dishes Happy birthday to Rachel on Wednesday. Paul went on a work trip to Colorado all day on Friday.  I dropped him off at the airport at 6 am then Mary and I went home and went back to bed for a couple of hours.  It was a rainy, hot, and muggy day but we weren't going to let that keep us at home.  We went to the local library and another mom in the ward came with her 3-year-old and 5-month-old.  We hung out there for probably an hour and a half.  Then Mary and I went to grab some fun groceries for the weekend.  I tried to put Mary down for a nap but she wasn't having it, so I put her back in the car and we drove to the other side of Austin and did an easy nature hike up to the Mount Bonnell look...

  We had a great week this week.  We had Hannah and Addie over on Tuesday and played at the playground at our complex.  Wednesday we went to a bigger park and met up with other moms and kids in the ward.  We played there for two hours.  Paul got to come home early on Wednesday, which was awesome.  We took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation.  I need new tires, so we'll take care of that next week. Thursday was Thanksgiving!  We had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made the turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes, as well as the gravy and a camembert appetizer.  Hannah made a yummy feta and berry green salad, fresh homemade rolls, and a rich chocolate cheesecake.  It was a fun evening together.  Hannah brought some crafts for Addie and Mary to make and wear turkey crowns.  We played some games and talked. Friday we drove down to Houston first thing and spent the day at the NASA Johnson Space Center....
