New Place

So here we are in our new home, and loving every minute! We have a washer/dryer, more space, wonderful neighbors, and lots of windows! On the day we moved in two men from the neighborhood came over to help us unload. The next day a lady from across the street and also from our ward at church brought some muffins. Following that we had a visit from the Relief Society and we are expecting the Bishopric tomorrow. We have been welcomed wonderfully and have already made some great connections with people.
Every day Justin brings up something else he loves about our new place, and then reminds me of everything he already loves too. We are all unpacked and somewhat settled, which is nice. I don't have many pictures, but here are two videos you can watch that are of my new place.

Levi has loads of new friends, and really enjoys the playground out back. Just a couple days after moving in two neighbor boys came over and ran upstairs with Levi to play for a while. They have been over a couple more times since then, and Levi just loves it!

Hazel is really crawling all over the place and getting into everything! Levi wasn't nearly as curious, so most of this is new to me. If anything is opening she runs for it, if you make an unusual sound, she's there, if you don't want her to touch something, its already in her mouth. She is all over and into literally everything she can grab and then some. She's cute to watch some times, but mostly if you aren't right behind her, she'll get something she really shouldn't.

Football has started again, yea! Justin's younger brother (I can't say little because he's taller than him) is playing for West Albany, so I'm sure we'll be heading to some of his games this year too. I'll spare Justin the embarrassment of mentioning how the Ducks did, but BYU and OSU did awesome! BYU's game was even a great upset, as they beat the #3 team in the nation. Luckily Justin's brother Marcus was able to make it out with his family from Wyoming to visit his wife's family, and to spend some time with us. We watched the Ducks game with them and they came over and saw our new place. Allison is getting bigger and bigger, which just means cuter and cuter. I saw her about a month ago, but she got cuter in that time I swear!

I have found some time between unpacking and doing daily stuff to paint another picture. This goes with my collection I am painting, leaving me only one more to paint... Oregon. This one if of Nebraska and the Missouri River.
Anyway, that's all from us, just mostly moving in stuff, nothing way fun. Hope you all are doing well!
