Sunday Mary


Paul had his first day at Tesla on Monday.  It was onboarding and orientation.  Mike and Wendy came over to watch Mary and I organized the bedroom, kitchen, and dining room.  Wendy helped me put dishes away in the kitchen.  I forgot to mention last week that Matt also helped put together our furniture. Then we all got together for dinner at the Salt Lick (per Andrew's recommendation) then we went to Lake Pflugerville for a few minutes before calling it a night.

Tuesday Paul did more paperwork and got a 6-hour tour of the Giga factory.  He loved it and loved hearing about what Tesla is doing and seeing some of their facilities.  Even though the tour took up the whole day, they only covered a small portion of the factory.  Mike and Wendy watched Mary again.  I organized her room, hung stuff up on the wall, and finished unpacking everything!  I'm so grateful for Mike and Wendy watching Mary so I could get us unpacked and settled in quickly.

Playing with Gpa Roberts and Addie

Wednesday Paul took his parents to the airport then came home to get ready for work and left again. Thursday we got our oven fixed and also found we had a bit of an ant problem.  We got some spray and ant traps that have proved to be pretty effective.
Friday we had a date night of getting Mexican food and watching the Golden State v. Mavs game.  Paul fell asleep after the first quarter and I put Mary to bed after half-time.  It's been a long week of unpacking and getting settled in a new job.  

Our new home in Austin, TX

Happy birthday to Adam on Saturday and happy anniversary to Mike and Wendy.  
Sunday we went to Matt and Hannah's ward because Matt was speaking.  He did a good job and talked about keeping up spiritual momentum.  We took Mary on a walk to a park behind our apartment.  Later in the evening, we had Matt, Hannah, and Addie over for dinner.  I made lasagna.  We took them to the same park and had Addie play there to try and tire her out in time to go to bed.

Drinking mom's water

Mary has been doing really well in the new apartment.  She has been sleeping really well and a lot of her hair is coming in.  After her bath her hair sticks straight up and she looks like a little mossy-haired baby.  She is so cute.  She is almost turning over, she will throw her legs to get her on her side and I think she is really close to getting herself on her belly.

Bear from Uncle Joe- Look how much I have grown!!

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....
