Hailey's 2nd Birthday

Hailey celebrated her 2nd birthday this past week. We had a little party for her as with all the changes in our lives Jim and I were not able to plan a party. Sorry Hailey, but we promised her a big party next year, so mark your calendars. Hailey had a great time, she loves to open presents and also likes to try on everything she gets. She is a wonderful child, she is doing everything a kids should do and enjoying life (except bedtime). We are so proud of her she can count to 10 (sometimes to 13), sing her ABC's, sings twinkle star, itsy bitsy spider, where is thumbkin, and old McDonald, and five little monkeys. She loves to dance to anything and her favorite is "Hailey Jump up and down" she would be happy to show you if you like :). She can put on her own shoes and knows her left from right foot. She really likes Dora and Nemo at this point. She likes to walk up and down the stairs without help (which can be nerve racking). She likes to play outside at the park swinging or at home riding her bike. She loves to shop and to try on shoes at target. Hailey definitely has an opinion about things in the last few weeks. She is awesome and we are so excited about what the next year brings.

Ride a Bike ???

Hailey LOVES to ride her bike. Her legs are still a little short but she makes it work. She is pretty particular whether you can help her or not. She loves to go fast and run into things but she is starting to figure out that she can turn directions without stopping. Its great to watch and helps burn a lot of energy.

First day at a New School

Hailey had her first day at American Montessori last week. Here are some pictures of her first day. She is transitioning well and getting to know her new teachers and friends. So far she loves doing puzzles, dancing, and coloring the most.

Hola from Burnsville

So we are pretty much moved in after this past weekend. We got a lot of organizing and cleaning done. Beth starts her new job on Monday and HP starts at a Montessori School in the area. We are very excited for Beth and HP.

Well we made it

We closed on our Lincoln house today and have been settling in Burnsville.  We got a ton of help from family and we really appreciate it.  I'll post pictures when we get it cleaned up a bit more.
