Life in Ohio

So far we are loving Ohio.... except for the Tornado watch we are under right now. Luckily, our neighbor just told us we were under a watch, which was good because we never watch the news here. So I am trying to get some blankets, food, etc in the basement just in case we have to go down there....hopefully not. We are loving it here though. It is pretty, the people are really nice, there is actually stuff to do, our ward is fantastic and we LOVE our house. The past two days, I have been attending a "mom and baby" workout class on base. I thought it would be a leisure workout, but so far they are the hardest workouts I have ever done (thanks to our drill sergeant instructor). Almost all the girls that go are AFIT (Air Force Institute of Technology) spouses, so it is a nice way to meet people. It has been nice too because Abe still has not started school yet, so we have been able to hang out. We are trying to plan some fun things for the next couple of weeks while he still has time.
Last weekend, we had Abe's friend Rob come and visit us from Virginia. It was so nice to see him and hang out. One of the days, we met Mori, Megan and Mayzee and all went to the Air Force Museum. It was really neat, but HUGE and we were not able to see everything.
Here is Adeline and Mayzee hanging out in the strollers. It is so fun that they are only about 50 minutes away from us for the summer so we can hang out!


Adeline has changed so much since we got here. She is little miss personality and we are constantly chasing after her because she is so busy. She will be walking soon!

She has decided that she is a picky eater, and she will only eat foods that she can feed herself. So let's just say that every meal is a big huge mess!

She has also learned that she can feed the dog.....

The other day we took Adeline to our neighborhood park. Adeline loved it.




Across the street from our neighborhood, there is an apartment complex with a pool. You can just walk right in, so we went swimming there yesterday. Adeline is a little fish and love the water. Below this post, I posted a little video of her swimming under the water. Check it out.


If any of you are ever visiting here, or driving through, you are welcome to stay with us. Okay....back to the tornado alert....

That is scary about the tornado. Your little girl is so cute. I can't believe that she will be walking soon. That awesome.

It is good to know you are doing well and adjusting. Hope you are safe from the tornado. How did you get video underwater without ruining your camera?

Adeline is so cute! I really hope I can get out there to visit - I'll tag along with my Dad on one of his trips. I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying Ohio!

I can't belive how good she is in the water. That's insane that she doesn't get upset, truly unique. I am glad things are goin well in Ohio, well except for the tornado. More pictures of the house please:-)

the other day I had to make sugar cookies, and I knew I had seen a recipe on someone's blog, but I couldn't remember who's. I just saw that it was yours-next time. Thanks for the recipe sharing.
