Day With Thomas.

Today I had to take off, so I thought Hank and I should do something fun. I found out Thomas was going to be at Strasburg, so I booked us some tickets. Aunt Dawn went with us too. It started out a rainy day, but once we got on the train the rain cleared. Hank enjoyed the ride and seeing the trains come and go. Recently he has been watching Thomas on TV and he LOVES any mode of transportation (trucks, tractors, mo mo's, etc...)



I am so glad I got to spend the day with Hank and Dawn!

Carnival

We took Hank to his first carnival this week. I didn't know if he would be able to ride much, if anything. He ended up riding, I think, every kiddie ride there. We had met up with our friends so he was able to ride with their children. This video was Hank on the "Mo Mo's (Motorcycles). You should have seen his face when the ride started. He got SO excited and started saying "Mo Mo, Mo Mo."

Adjusting!

New Grocery Stores

We can still get pizza - we just have to drive further (Notice how HUGE this pie is.)

Loving the county life!



Trailer Sweet Trailer!

View from the trailer. You can see where our new home will be (it will be visible from the main road only when the leaves are gone!)




Beautiful sunsets and lots of lightning bugs at night.




We are adjusting. We have been in the trailer for almost three weeks now and getting used to being in North Harford again. It is actually more convenient, as far as being closer to our families. Since I have been driving Hank back and forth to our mothers in the morning and after work, my commute is actually better (even though in Bel Air I was a mile from work). The only thing I miss is being able to go home at lunch, and I feel like I have already adjusted to that as well. We are anxious to get our house started. This coming week they are supposed to start doing some clearing and grading, as well as drill the well.

OCD?

Hank is obsessed with brushing his teeth. Every time he goes into the bathroom and sees his tooth brush he has to brush his teeth. He pulls up his little stool and waits for us to turn on the water.

I guess he could have worse obsessions:)

Bye Bye Bel Air!

Hank "helping" with the move.

We settled on our house Thursday and are so relieved to have the move behind us. We are now living in our temporary home, a trailer we are renting until our house is built. We did most of our moving last weekend, and I finished up with cleaning and getting the last bit of things out Monday- Wednesday.

Mid May Madness!

We are in the process of moving now so things are hectic! We settle on our house May 27 (Good Lord willing!) The week before last was the week from hell, as it felt like one thing after another was going wrong, such as problems with our lender for our construction loan, problems with our home inspection on our current house. But things appear to be coming along now.

I started to pack last week and we are going to move our furniture and boxes out this weekend. I can't wait to have our house completed so that we will once again have all our possessions in one place and not in storage, my parents basement, and my in-laws attic.

In spite of all of this we did manage to have a nice weekend with Hank. I took him to the playground on Saturday. Actually most of his weekend included a lot of outside time, which is his favorite place to be now. He always wants to be "Out."

Summer is right around the corner!

Turn your back for a second and he's in the sink, but he was scrubbing it:)

Grammy fills up the watering can just so Hank can play. He LOVES water!

Hank was excited to see the crabs, or "fish."

He has a four wheeler at each Grandparents. LOVES anything with wheels!

Sidewalk caulk = Sunny Days.

I was a fishing widow for at least 1/2 the weekend, but now I have my little man to carry me through. Actually Brant got home early Saturday evening and we went to his parents who were getting crabs. Summer is here once you can eat crabs outside! Hank was calling them "fish." That is one of his current favorite words, at least he knows they come from the same place.
