Life in the new house!

Kyla is getting so good at sitting on her own, we are still working on getting her to crawl but she can sit. But right now if someone sneezes she falls over.
So this is how I found Kyla in her crib after naptime one day, she was trying to tell me I need to put the ties on her crib bumpers. I got the message.
Seth and I were working on putting the light fixture up in Kyla's room so we put her on the upstairs landing to play on the floor, when we finished we came back out to get her and she was laying sound asleep on the floor. I guess Hero thought it was a good idea also so he decided to nap with her.
Here our little girl is enjoying her glider that has been away for a while, and enjoying watching Daddy and I setting up her room. (Pictures of her room will be up soon, I want to finish putting it all together before I put pictures up!)
When we first moved in Kyla had to nap, sleep, and play in her pack n' play. During one nap time she was playing with her feet on the mesh and fell asleep. She is such a silly girl.

The Move, Being homeless, and the New place!


On March 20th we went to the closing attorney's and sign our house in Kennesaw GA over to a new owner! It FINALLY SOLD!!!! We were so excited to sell it, and happy that the woman who bought it was so excited. We were suppose to close on the new home that same day but a final inspection put the closing of the new place on hold. Finally we had a closing date of 24th of March. So from the 21st (the lady was nice enough to let us stay in until Saturday) to the 24th at 4:00 PM we were homeless. We went and stayed with the family that I first lived with Canton for a couple days then to Christina and Jeff James' house for a night. We signed and moved in on march 24th, 2009 and we slept on our mattress in the living room the first night.

We were so grateful for all the help we recieved from family, friends, Kennesaw Mountain Ward, and Lost Mountian Ward. We were able to move everything in 5 hours from one house to the next!



Here is the picture of the 2nd night in the house, we had the carpets cleaned the day after we signed and because of it was raining the carpet didn't dry. We weren't able to move our furniture onto the carpet. So we slept where our kitchen table should have been. Kyla slept in her pack in play. We were so glad when they carpet was dry on Thursday and we were able to finally sleep in our room and Kyla could sleep in hers.

Kyla's first Flight!

Here is Kyla on her first Airplane flight. We have a direct flight to AZ and it was 4 hours long! She is great! she just sat in my lap and was so happy. There was no changing table in the airplane so we had to take my seat (the floatation device) off my seat, take it to the restroom and sit in on top of the toilet then change her. The two people I was sitting next to were great! they got up helped me to the back and waited until I was finished. And then on the way home the plane had open seats so we were able to sit in our own row on the way home! She hung out in her carseat most of the way home!

Long awaited updates

In the beginning of March Seth and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary. We had Corey and Leah watched Kyla and we went to PF Chang's. It was nice and relaxing to get out and definately different than our last two years. We had spent our honeymoon in Jamaica and then our one year anniversary on a Caribbean cruise. But this year we decided to stay close to home because of Kyla and we were in the process of buying a house and decided moving would be a vacation. The day after our anniversary I took Kyla on her first airplane ride! Kyla and I went to AZ to visit my mom and Jim! We had so much fun while we were out there, she got a meet a couple of my old friends.


Here is Kyla with my friend's little boy Tyler... we put them down on the ground together and they grabbed each other's hand. This is her first date... They went from hand holding to Kyla trying to bit the little boy, I wouldn't have been so worried if she did have teeth.
