Welcome Home

Hello again everyone. It has been a crazy month between a new baby, moving and unpacking, and a baby blessing. It is surprising what good motivation having company is to unpacking. Still I wasn't able to get everything done, but at least it was livable. This is our new home.
I don't have a picture of the front view, but the porch goes all along the front of the house. It is a 3 bed 2.5 bath. We have a small back yard with a fence to keep Wyatt in. The front yard has tiny little blades of grass finally, which we are excited about. It is so nice to be out of an apartment, and most importantly off the third floor.

It was great to have everyone here for Eleanore's blessing. Grandma and Grandpa Hill came and my mom and dad. Also Uncle Craig and Aunt Jana. Our little house absorbed all those people pretty well. Josh's sister and her husband, as well as some family friends were able to come to dinner afterwards so our house was officially the fullest it has every been. It is so nice to have family and friends around for special occasions.

Eleanore is getting bigger by the day. I don't know if they measured her correctly in the hospital because at the 2 week visit she was 20 and a half inches long. I've never seen a baby grow 3 inches in 2 weeks, but hey who am I to say? Here is a picture of her in her blessing dress and a picture of Wyatt standing on the big rock in the front yard.
An updated family picture in front of the star on our porch. (I really like the star)
Playing with family. Wyatt had a lot of fun playing with "nonnen" as he calls Jocelyn.

(Shaunie)How awesome to have a house of your own now! Wish we could have been there for the baby blessing. I think it's great having younger siblings around to entertain your children. Looks like Wyatt enjoys it!
