Wheels

Sometimes I feel like a post with no pictures is like a cake with no icing but tonight I'm too tired to download any-sorry. The Hansel household is on the move. We've found a house in TH and are zeroing in on our two closing dates...which is exciting and scary at the same time. It's a little stressful thinking of all the details involving the two moves but I'm sure with lots of prayer it will all fall into place. Decker is getting closer and closer to walking. Today his new thing was to stand and walk holding onto his big Tonka truck. Speaking of trucks (and cars, campers and buses for that matter)...this is his new infatuation. I asked a friend if this behavior was normal and she said it just sounded like a boy to her! Very often throughout the day he grunts and points out the window and is not happy until we go sit in the car for a while. Sometimes we stroll down to the end of my parents road to look at the traffic on the highway-we can get some good digs on the semis that way. Brady and Deck have been having guy time on Monday nights at a music class at ISU for toddlers-Decker really likes it and every time we sing the songs he starts to bounce and clap! Todd thinks he may be the next DMB.

Bloogie "Take II" #1 Bday

Deck had a great first bday. He got to celebrate twice-first at a joint party with his cousins a couple weeks ago and then over at the Hansel's on the 1st. He got lots of special toys including a cool learning farm center that Brady and I picked out. He enjoyed his first taste of sugar but I have to admit that the banana cupcakes I made were healthy and low sugar. I just couldn't stand the thought of my little guy being exposed to the cane yet-as I know how addicted I am to my after dinner dessert. In addition to the celebration of our little guy turning one we can also celebrate the fact that our house sold-although we must get through the inspection process which starts on Tuesday. Lots to be thankful for and most especially the love of family and friends.
