For Aunt Kirstin (or what to do when your dress is too small)

Here are a few sweet pictures that I took of Hannah a few days ago. She is wearing the sundress that Aunt Kirstin made for her a few months ago when she so much smaller! So we have made the dress into a shirt. . . a super cute shirt indeed.

While most of the pictures I took show off the dress turned shirt, most of them do not show Hannah smiling. She was much too distracted by everything outside. Airplanes, butterflies, falling leaves- any noise or moving thing really. And of course there are the "no mama- I will absolutely not look at the camera" pictures as well. :)

Buying a House

This is a picture of the house that we are hoping to buy in Hurst, Texas.  It is just a few streets away from where Aaron grew up!  If all goes according to plan, we will be closing at the end of September.  It will be great to have all of our stuff out of storage.  But the even better part is that MOLLY WILL BE BACK!!!  My parents have graciously kept that fuzzy bunny while we have been living with friends but I am really ready to have our whole family back together under our own one roof.

One part of the house that needs updating are the kitchen counter tops.  We think that we are getting to pick those out ourselves :)  So Hannah and I took a long meandering visit to Home Depot today to check out the options.  I think I will also be painting Hannah's room right away- probably a light buttery yellow.  So we picked out paint samples too.  Hannah was sooooo good walking around the store in her Baby Bjorn.

Other updates: Hannah is eating squash and carrots these days.  And she really likes bananas. 

We had a good time in Tyler, TX, with Mimi Jane this weekend.  It is always nice to get away for a few days and visit family.  Aaron did some plumbing work and I updated Mimi's picture of Hannah and added Piper's to the mantle.  Hannah had a lot of trouble sleeping there but is getting back on schedule now. 

Aaron is hunkered down grading tests.  I can't believe that mid-term is here already!

That's it for now. I think I have a few fun pictures of Hannah that I can post soon.  Stay tuned. . .
