May 9-15

4 months old


Monday I called our new apartment complex and confirmed that we are good to move in on Saturday. I also talked to our current apartment complex and ensured everything was set up for us to move out on Saturday. The rest of the week was cleaning, packing, and taking apart furniture.  

Mary turned 4 months old on Tuesday!  She had her doctor's appointment on Thursday and she was so good about getting her second round of vaccines.  Her height is 25 in. (72.3%) her weight is 14 lbs. 11.5 oz. (60.8%) and her head circumference is 41.7 cm (79.9%).

Paul had his last day in lab on Friday.  He was able to leave at 2 PM and he came home and helped me finish preparing for the move the next day.  Mike and Wendy flew in at 9:30 PM and Matt, Hannah, and Addie drove up that night.  
Saturday, Paul and Matt went to pick up our Uhaul.  I went up to the hotel where everyone was staying so Mike and Wendy could watch Mary and Addie while the four of us packed up the truck.  Alissa and Jordan Erekson surprised us by showing up and helping us load up.  They previously had told me they were volunteering at a ward event and wouldn't be able to help but they left early so they could help us.  She has been the best ministering sister I've ever had.  They are amazing.  Then we checked out of our apartment and we all started the 3-hour drive to Austin.
We left Mike and Wendy with Mary and Addie at Matt and Hannah's apartment then we went and unloaded everything into our new apartment.  After that, Paul and I showered and met up with everyone at Matt and Hannah's house to get Mary and have dinner together.

Sunday Paul and Mike put our furniture together and I got things sort of organized by room.  We got some groceries and other items that we needed to set everything up.  Mike and Wendy were great to watch Mary while Paul and I were working to get everything set up before his first day of work at Tesla the next day.  We met up with Matt, Hannah, and Addie for dinner.

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....
