HELLO MY FRIENDS!!!

oh the hanlons...

what have we been up to?

chillin out sitting on the couch, eating oreos with tall glasses of milk. wondering what we are going to do with all of our spare time.

ok that was funny :-)

Really we have been working our tails off! Yep, every night after our princess goes to bed we are on the go. Andy has been working on the backsplash in the kitchen and is almost ready to grout. I have been putting stuff away and organizing, and then deciding that I don't like it where I put it, and then I move it again! We are getting there! I don't think there are actually any boxes in the house anymore, just random piles of "stuff." Still no pictures on the walls :-( , hopefully that will be a project we will get to soon. I miss having my walls plastered with Mabry, friends and family!

I am officially on Spring Break!!!!!!!! Mabry and are are going to play all week with Andy's parents! They are driving in from Indiana tomorrow, we are so excited!
Andy has to work, but of course we will have some good hang out time in the evenings.

Mabry is unbelievable! She is the sweetest and funniest little thing. She has some serious tickle spots, she loves to play outside, her new words are ball, mommy (which we think is her saying more please, and eye. She say ummmm everytime she is about to eat. She still is all about her kitty cat and any dog she sees she gets so excited! She loves to go to sleep at night. Around 7:45 she snuggles with "bubby bear" ( a bear made out of one of Mitch's t-shirts that Leah's mom, Mrs. Dinkins made) it is her favorite thing!!! After she gives us kisses she reaches for her crib and then she is out. We thought we would never see the day she would want to go to bed, and sleep through the night!

Life is good. We are so happy and blessed to be in our new home. We are so thrilled that we now have the space for Andy's parents to stay with us. We look forward to the many more times to have visitors come and stay.

God is Good!

All the Time!

Some more pictures

I just realized that these pictures are pre-floors and I am too tired to search and wait for the more recent ones to upload! So here is a glimpse for now. Oh, and these precious pictures from Mabry are from her birthday. The first one is at birthday chapel at HCES and the other at dinner. The chapel was so cute, she stood up with all the big kids and they sang happy birthday and prayed for them. I was in true mommy glory!

Adios!

Trying to Update...

Pictures are of Mabry's bedroom, family room and the kitchen.

So many things going on since my last blog entry...

We can start with Mabry turning 1!!!!!!!!! Yes my little one is one, it is so hard to believe! The weekend before her b-day we celebrated with her buddy Kent and had a fun party at the park. Her birthday weekend was pretty low key, spending time with each other and also with her grandparents. She was spoiled with love and fun gifts. I think her favorite thing about it all was just being outside running around. All I can say is that this girl is BUSY...all day long. She may be a little like her mama. Since then we have continuously worked on the house. Things are coming together and it is so exciting. I have been trying to create a slideshow for her birthday and the house pictures, but it has not been working, so I will just add some pictures for now. We are planning on moving the rest of our stuff over on Saturday and possible start staying there. The countertops will be the only thing not "in", but we can be in the house without those...we eat out every night anyway! School is going great. I just finished yoga and step aerobics and had so much fun! I got an enbroidery machine so that has been keeping me busy. I am having fun learning how to use it. I cannot wait to get settled in the house and start making Mabry some summer outfits! That is enough for now. I am super tired and it is time to post these pictures and try to get to bed at a decent time, I could really use a good night's sleep. Did I mention that I just finished a chocolate covered rice krispy treat and some milk...yum, yum!

All my love,
