Take the tour of our new place

I know you've all been wondering where I've been the last two weeks, and I'm going to go with the obvious answer -- moving. But that's not all of it. We were pretty comfortable in our new place after about a week, and I still didn't get around to blogging. I wanted to show you a tour of our new place so I had to wait up those videos were uploaded. And I can only use the computer when Leah is napping since she wants to climb on my lap any time a computer is turned on. So my time to blog is pretty limited.

We're enjoying all the space we have in our new apartment. As I mentioned in a previous post, we have three bedrooms, lots of storage space, a garage, and a bigger kitchen. Leah now has more room to run around and a short flight of stairs that she loves to climb on. We still have to hang pictures on the wall, but we hope to do some of that this weekend. We're still waiting to hang pictures until we get some more furniture for our living room (such as a bookshelf and more seating). Our upstairs neighbors can be a little noisy sometimes especially when their two active boys are running around and chasing each other. But they are really nice, and the noise hasn't bothered Leah's nap schedule, thank goodness.

Just a short update on Leah as well. She is learning more sounds and parts of words. She also was introduced to nursery last Sunday. I want her to feel comfortable there so I took her in a few weeks early before she turns 18-months (which is on March 4, crazy!). And we're happy to report that she did wonderful. There were only two other kids in nursery last week, which is pretty rare for an Orem ward so I think she didn't feel as overwhelmed. I would have stayed if she was having a hard time, but I asked the nursery leaders if I could go to class and they agreed. We hope she is still comfortable with nursery next Sunday.

We are continuing to meet people at church, and everyone seems to be friendly. I don't think there are too many people moving in this ward so most people recognize us as new. We hope we can make friends like we have in previous wards.
