Born 1/19/2011. The delivery went well. We are glad she is finally here. Esther and Henry love her and fight over who gets to hold her first. We are excited to get to know this new little addition to our family.

Christmas 2010
Christmas always comes in shift for us depending on work schedules. Michael had to work Christmas day so for our little family Christmas morning was done on the 24th of December. Santa brought Henry a work bench and Esther a play kitchen. We had the privilege of having Michael's family come for Christmas this year. Michael's brother Thomas and his wife Laura got up early so that they could share Christmas morning with us.
As part of the work bench came a couple of tools. Henry felt he had to use his saw to open his presents.
Debbi, Monica and Melissa (neighbors and friends from Utah) sent Esther and Henry dust monsters. It is a dusting mitt that has a face sewn onto it. I can't wait for them to help mommy with the dusting. 
Ikea was sold out of the bottom half of the kitchen set so Esther just received the top on Christmas morning.
She also got a tea set
Playing with power tools
Christmas Eve night we got together with the rest of Michael's family for dinner and a gift exchange.
We gave Michael's dad a BYU Snuggie which came in very handy when they got stuck in a snow storm heading back to Utah.

It was hard to get in the mood when I was still trying to unpack and get settled. It did feel a little funny without any snow too. I also realized this is the first Christmas that I was not at my parent's house for Christmas Eve. I guess it is time to start some new traditions. We love you all and miss everyone not here with us.

Our House
I know it has taken me a long time to post pictures of the house. I was waiting till it was more put together and a little cleaner but then I realized it is never going to happen. Picking up the toys has come to a stand still since it is hard for me to bend down these days and Esther and Henry just dump out what I do pick up. So Here is our house.
This is Henry's room. He loves birds right now so we put a little tree in his room with birds. Just outside his window is our front yard and two tall trees. Most days there are a few finches playing in the trees, which he loves to watch.
This will be Ainsley's room. As you can see the crib is still waiting to be put together. Ainsely's room is right next to Henry's room.
This is Esther's room. We haven't put her blinds up yet. There is a drape covering the window so it seems very dark. We also haven't gotten her a bed yet. We know which one we want to get we just need to borrow Michael's sisters minivan to get it.
This is the loft/playroom. It is always messy. It is just to the left when you come up the stairs.
This is what Esther and Henry got for Christmas. A play Kitchen and a tool bench.
The next couple of pictures are the master bedroom. We don't have official window coverings for our bedroom yet. The bedroom has two sections to it. This is on the right when you walk in the door.
This picture did not turn out the best but this is moving to the other half of our bedroom.
This is still our bedroom. This is on the left when you walk in the door and just to the left of the couch are two doors. One is the bathroom and the other is the closet. I did not take a picture of the bathroom, sorry.
This is our walk-in closet. We don't have enough hangers because my maternity clothes are occupying some and I don't want to buy more hangers so my scrubs are on the floor.
Here is the kids bathroom which is right next door to Esther's bedroom.
This is the front room. The little patch of tile on the right is where the front door is.
When you walk in the door the front room is on the right and the formal dinning room(which we will have as an office/den) is on the left.
Office/den
Here is the view from the front door. There is a half wall behind the couch which leads into the guest bedroom. Right now it does not have a door but we plan on putting a french door there soon. The door to the right behind the half wall is the half bath.
Guest bedroom.
Family room.
Messy family room/Kitchen
Kitchen. I took this picture when the kitchen was as picked up as it gets. The door leads to the pantry and washer/dryer. From there, is another door to the garage.
THE POOL
The backyard dirt. The backyard needs an overhaul. It is mostly dirt or sand. We plan on putting in grass and a swing set.
The putting green next to the dirt. I guess the people who lived here before liked to golf.
Here is a picture of the pool from the sliding door in the guest bedroom. I hope you liked the tour of our house. If you would like to see more you will have to come for a visit.
