HOME for the Holidays

Two weeks before Christmas we were able to close on and move into a new home!
We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present!

Our house

Happy new Homeowners!

We are so excited to have space and not feel like we are cluttered and cramped! Jenna finally has a room of her very own! She was sharing her room with storage before. The basement is unfinished so there is even more room to grow. We look forward to the adventure of owning a home and now being able to have family and friends come and stay!
I'll post pictures of the interior of the house in a later post.

Owwie... Stitches

After work Dec. 17th our Holiday vacation began. This is how Jenna decided to help kick it off...

Jenna fell and hit the coffee table splitting the skin at the top of her ear. We took her to the after hours clinic hoping to get it butterflied.

2 hours and 3 stitches later this is what she looked like!

Don't you love the drool!

The next day:

Jenna's poor little ear bruised pretty badly.

Overall Jenna was a trooper. She was good about leaving the stitches alone and if her ear got bumped she would look at us and say, "Owwie". Too cute!

Welcome Home Sister Summerhays!

My sister Meghan got home from Brazil on Oct. 28th. We are so happy to have her home. Jenna LOVES her and it's like she's known her since she was born.

At Grandma and Papa's house waiting to go to the Airport to see Aunt Meghan!
("Rocka, Rocka" What Jenna says every time she sits down somewhere,
whether she is in a rocking chair or not!)

Robert and Eliza can't hold in their excitement!

Bathrobes and Pacifiers

I love Jenna in her bathrobe.
She's not always fond of wearing it, though.
She likes to open it to find her belly button. So funny!

Such an innocent looking face.
I wasn't doing anything, Mama!

Our landlords who live upstairs have often watched Jenna for us so we can run errands or go out on a date. One night after getting home from running errands and she had been upstairs, we found this in her diaper bag...

Jenna had been teething and my first reaction was "Oh my gosh! She bit it off!" I was worried that she'd swallowed the tip. Come to find out, the landlord's dog had taken it from Jenna and bit off the end. I was relieved!

Balloons

Jenna LOVED playing with the balloons she had from her birthday party. She got a kick out of having me pull down the balloons, hand them to her, and then let them go and watch them fly up to the ceiling. Hours of entertainment!
