Oh my! 4 months of no posting!!! This post is going to be a little crazy because the pictures uploaded weird.. and well.. because its been a little bit crazy around here!! Peanut is almost 19 months old, we now live in KENTUCKY and not icky sticky Georgia, and we added a dog to our family! So, bear with me as I go through the following pictures. And I sincerely hope it is NOT another 4 months before I get a chance to get on here and update you all.
This picture below is from thanksgiving weekend. Yes, it looks nice, but it was far from warm. Hence peanut in her snow suit. Yup, this is that same 4-wheeler from all the videos inside our GA apt and yes, Peanut has GROWN! She was so teeny tiny on this 4 wheeler just a few short months ago and now she drives it like a race car.
E has become quite the adventurer. She loves getting into everything and anything. She now has an accomplice named Barley and they get into lots of trouble… Like here in this picture when she took all of these blankets out of there and threw them all on top of Barley.
We live 5 minutes from the Zoo here in Louisville, which is awesome. We have become members and we have been several times this fall! This particular day was fairly cold, so most of the animals were inside keeping warm. We bundled up and enjoyed the stroll and checking out the ducks.
Several weeks ago Peanut and I headed down to Alabama (where John has been living for the last 7 weeks) and got to stay with him in Hunstville. There is lots to do down there and we tried to take advantage of it all! This picture below is of peanut at the children's museum, learning how to fish with daddy.
Learning to milk a fake cow
Playing in the store with daddy
Learning some engineering skills from daddy
Dressing up as a settler child way back in the day!
We also went to a festival of lights at the botanical gardens in Huntsville. It was SO much fun and Miss E had such a great time running around and looking at all the lights.
We took a trip to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville too!! Anyone remember the space camp commercials back in the day on Nickelodeon?! Well this is THE camp. It was awesome!
With all of our house renovations, E has been very curious and wanting to help, so we bought her a tool box full of plastic tools and she loves it! She uses the hammer to bang on everything and tried to measure the dog with the tape measure all the time!
Someone got new santa slippers to wear with her santa PJs!
Thanksgiving dinner--it was just the 3 of us so we opted for buffalo rib eyes instead of the old turkey and potatoes and it was delicious! Peanut tried eating the whole steak!
We have also found another gymnastics place to take her in Louisville, just like the one from Columbus!! Here she is hiding in the ball pit, waiting her turn to practice on the bars!
Working on her jumping skills!
We have been having some snow and super cold weather the last few days and peanut enjoyed playing with her friends in the snow!!
We also made Nutella brownies with our friends that were AMAZING!!!
This picture below was from the day we got to Alabama. Peanut loves elmo lately and john bought her a small stuffed elmo doll! She loves hanging out with her daddy!
E was the cookie monster for Halloween! It was my first homemade halloween costume and it came out pretty dang cute! We celebrated and trick or treated for candy at the zoo! We even ran into Elmo and the grouch while we were there.
I will have to take some better pictures of our house for another post, but for now I will show you all of the incredible work john has been working on between schools and driving every weekend!! He gutted two bathrooms and has tiled both of them. One bathroom was horribly outdated and was full of black and yellow tiles and a leaking floor and the other bathroom did not have a shower in yet.. yup, it was just a bathtub! John tore down all of the yellow tile on the walls and floors and we have installed new walls and floors and even painted this bathroom blue. The other bathroom is green and almost all done too! We still have a little bit of work to do in each one, but they will be complete soon and I can post more pictures! We also have painted the living room grey and are getting ready to paint the dining room (the entire house is a horrible shade of yellow/brown, so we are trying to get rid of it all!) We even made shelves to go in the kitchen and are in the process of making a really cool coffee table! We can't wait to post pictures soon.
This was the other bathroom without a shower. As you can see, john used all his best plumbing skills to put one in and did an amazing tiling job!
In between bathroom renovations, we snuck in a trip to a pumpkin patch just over the river in indiana and had some fun! Peanut got to pick and carve her first pumpkin.
Peanut helping daddy measure the tile and double check the measurements!
And as a final for the night, here is a sneak peak at Miss E's christmas cards!! They came out super cute and we can't wait to share them all with you! Stay tuned for more (and better) pictures of the house and all our new adventures in Kentucky!!
