I know it has been awhile and I don't expect anyone to be reading this, but my goal is to try this once again. i really want to use my blog as a journal/scrapbook and make it into a book. I am already working on the oldest entries as a book, but I really need to keep going so I have recent up to date stuff to make into a book. I am just going to jump right in and do an update on everything from last May, which was my last post. for now they will be pictures and quick updates, but as soon as i am caught up, I hope to do more in depth posts. Wish me luck!!
It all starts back in May.....
Hannah all dressed up
Playing in the dirt at our Bend apartment
Painting pictures for Daddy for Fathers Day. She did such a good job. We painted 3 and on 1 we put "Worlds greatest Dad. Hands Down." and on the other 2 we put Hannah's hand prints.
Sticker time
This is the day we moved from Bend. Chris and I were packing up the last few items in our room and Hannah was playing on her bed. The next thing we hear is a huge crash followed by screaming. We run in her room, Chris got there first to see the dresser on top of Hannah. He grabbed her, but she was stuck in a drawer. When I got in the room he was already trying to lift the dresser as well as pull Hannah from the drawer. I helped him get her out and try to calm her down. From her bed, she had climbed into the middle drawer and then the whole dresser fell on top of her, with her in the drawer. The top drawer broke over her back/head, we don't really know where. We checked her all over and nothing seemed broken, but of course she was in shock and then we noticed the blood in her mouth. Her tongue looked bad, so at 8 am the day we are moving, I took Hannah to the ER. The second we got there she began acting fine, of course. She was really happy until we walked into an exam room, then she realized where we were. The doctor checked her all over and all was fine, until he looked at her tongue. He decided she needed to have a stitch put in since she had bitten through it. That procedure was hard. They had to wrap her up tight, 2 of us held her body down, one held her head in place and then the doctor was doing the stitching. He had to put a stich through the end of her tongue to pull it out so he could stich up the rest. She got 5 stitches in all, quite a few more than 1. The poor thing actually did very well, she calmed down about half way through and was such a tough, big girl. The saddest part of the day was that I knew she was hungry, but she couldn't eat anything or drink anything. late that night I got her to eat yogurt and applesauce finally. We got everything moved okay thanks to friends in Bend who came and helped Chris get everything packed. Hannah still talks about having the doctor fix her tongue! She will remember this story forever!

We moved back to Springfield the end of June. We lived with my parents until September until we moved into out new apartment where we manage now. We are in Springfield 4th ward and have been loving it. We love being able to manage apartments, so far everyone has been so nice and helpful! Hannah will be 3 in less than 3 months, which I can't believe. Chris is going back to school for nursing now. He will eventually become a Nurse Anesthetist. Things are great and we are happy to be back around family. I will continue to update, hopefully today so I will be all caught up soon!
