Allie Update

Since I've been a bit delinquent in posting, what with the move and ALL the unpacking, I've decided to do an update on Allie.

She has adjusted very well to her new life in Canada. The only issue we've had is that she isn't sleeping as well, likely because it stays light so late here and gets light so early. She's not sure what is going on, but mom and dad hope she figures it out soon so we can all sleep a little better!

She had her four month appointment last week and she's a healthy little girl. She is 14 lbs. 8 oz and 25 inches long. This puts her in the 80th percentile! The doctor declared her very healthy and even commented on how alert she was and how happy. I'm such a proud mommy! :)

Here are some recent pic's. I'll be back to blogging at least once a week!

Going Away Party

Before we left Minneapolis my mom and dad were so thoughtful to throw us a going away party for all of our family. Keep in mind this party was in the midst of their major remodel, so it was especially thoughtful.

Thanks mom and dad for such a wonderful night!

We had a pinata for all of the kids. Thanks Jackson for getting it to open!

Allie is going to miss her Aunt Mary.

All the kids love being together.

This was the state of the kitchen.

Thanks for being the bartender Uncle John!

Dan and his mom.

Christina flew all the way from New York to see her family and say goodbye to us. As soon as I saw her dad and Chris, the tears started to flow! Thanks Chris for making the effort to come.

Allie and mom...ready for Canada!

Bye Bye Minnesota

It was a sad, sad day when the movers showed up at 4100 Raleigh Ave. to pack us up and move us. Dan was in Canada, so I had lots of help from Mary March and my parents with little Allie. While she got to play with her cousins and her grandparents, I got things organized for the movers. Needless to say, I don't know how people move without the help of movers and, although it wasn't the best timing since Dan couldn't help out, I am so thankful that I didn't have to pack all the boxes myself!

We will miss our old house (and neighborhood!) so much and will always remember it as the perfect starter home!
