More of the same

So yesterday we didn't go outside like I wanted to because it was snowing a lot of the day (3 more inches, all stuck). Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. We will be taking more walks and going to the library to pass some of the cold winter days we have left.

Connor and I tried to make the most of another day inside with blocks, Teddy, and bathtime.

I have to admit, snow is very pretty. Connor and I stood at the window and just watched the snow fall for at least 10 minutes.

Connor's favorite toy right now is his legos. He LOVES throwing them around our apartment (he likes the sound they make clanging and clacking on the tile) and disassembling things I build for him. I'm considering buying him those mega blocks so he can build more things himself. These are still a little too small for his tiny hands.




Today was a lot better (as far as getting out of the house). Since it was sunny today, I decided it was a good day for some errands. Connor and I went to Barnes & Noble to return a book, and we stopped to play with their train set and pull a few childrens' books off the shelves in the kids' section. Later in the evening when Brad was home, we quickly ate last night's leftovers and headed out to look at 2 houses in Pleasant View. They are beautiful homes, and we have more appointments set up for this Monday and Tuesday to look at about 10 more. This is surreal!

First Overnight Visitor!

The few weeks we've spent in our apartment have been a little lonely. It's been nice to have Brad's family close. We've been down to see them several times, and a few of them have come to see us as well. But getting to know people in our ward has gone much slower than I expected and Connor hasn't had any friends to play with either. (Hopefully that will get better when he goes into nursery.) I have really been missing my family and El Segundo friends.

We were all so excited when my sister Ady came up to stay with us for a couple days this week (Jan 20-22). While she was here we mostly just hung out, but we also went to dinner at Chili's, went sledding (down the backside of Milton Cemetery down Hwy 84), and rented Robin Hood (with Russel Crow, Kate Blanchet) from Redbox. Connor loved seeing his Auntie. Thanks Ady for coming to visit!




Connor didn't love sledding. He wasn't cold, but I think us screaming as we slid down the hill scared him. He only seemed to cry when we started sledding.






Driving home, kinda wet and cold. Beautiful sunset.

Our new home

West Haven is our new home for now. But maybe not for long. We have identified a couple cities that we want to look for houses and we are planning to look at some in the next couple weeks.

But for now our 2 bed, 2 bath, 1000 sq. ft. apartment (with a walk-in closet and washer/dryer!) in West Haven, UT is our home. We love it. Connor seems to love it too. He really loves the snow - is he my son??

After stomping through the snow with Dad. Just look at that face!

I love that there is a play ground in our complex.
