Wild Thing

It seems like Adeline has changed so much in the past week. She is just so...wild. She wants to get into everything and she is so busy. She crawls in things, over things, up things, etc. This morning in church I put her on the floor for a minute, and before I knew it, she had made a run towards the front of the chapel. She had crawled right under the bench in front of us and just kept going. I was very embarrased having to stand up and run a couple of rows up to finally catch her since she wouldn't stop. Here are some pictures and videos of her the past week.
On Friday we went and visited Abe in his office after an award ceremony

When we got home, there were a couple of things I had to do. So, I let Adeline crawl into her room to play. A couple of minutes later, I heard her little "excitement voice" and went into the room to see what she was up to. She had crawled IN her carseat, was standing up and bouncing up and down with a big smile on her face. I couldn't believe it. She also crawled out of it all by herself. Good thing it didn't flip over!



Sorry this video is sideways.... but somehow Adeline knows how to dance...so here it is.

Easter

Happy Easter!

Chloe even had a great easter! Her and her friend Gracie (on the left) played for awhile on the lawn while I took pictures of Adeline. Chloe is going to miss her friend when we move!


I made an easter basket for Adeline and she pretty much destroyed it. She had fun playing with the (empty) easter eggs all day long and her new little baby bunny doll.

Ohio Trip, New house!

So, we finally are back at home in California after two long weeks of traveling. We are very excited to not be living out of a suitcase anymore and sleeping either on a sailboat, or a hotel room. Our trip to Ohio however was successful in our house hunting. We purchased our first home in the town of Beavercreek, Oh. It is in our #1 area that we wanted to live in, and is only about 7 minutes away from where Abe will be going to school. It is 2 yrs old, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths. As you can see from the pictures, we have a lot of painting to do! It will be an adventure when we move there the 1st of May!

Alright, this is my first time posting a video. We took a video of Adeline doing a "dolphin dive" in the hotel pool and thought it was pretty fun.

BVI Trip

Last weekend we returned from an amazing trip to the British Virgin Islands with the family. We lived on a sailboat and each day we sailed to a new island. All the islands were absolutely amazing...I am not quite sure which one was my favorite, because I loved them all! The only downfall about the trip was that I had to leave Adeline. It was so hard to leave her, but we both survived!

Here we are on our dingy. Every time we went out to eat or needed to get on land, this is how we traveled.

Me, Abe, Amanda and Mase at the baths. It was so beautiful there!


Right now we are in Ohio and just bought a house yesterday! I don't have anyway to download my pictures from here, so I will have to post pictures of our new house when I return to California.
