Life as an The Underwood: Can't get the ball to start rolling....

November has come and gone and left a mess in its wake. Our apartment has bare walls and packed tubs filling it to the brim. Our lives have been turned upside down by this and there isn't much we can do to fix it that hasn't already been done.
After they tried to break in the apartment that Monday morning we thought maybe we could just stick it out till June, not ever leave the apartment and get some mace and a taser. But that night someone stabbed my neighbors tires, all 4 of them. She had NO clue who would have done this. So we decided to leave. The complex wouldn't let us out of our lease, so we are going to buy it out, which means that we have to pay 2 months rent, plus that months rent. Thankfully Michael's Grandmother gave us a very kind and generous gift and are able to do this because of them.
We decided to go back to our old town and live with hubby's parents for a few months to save up for a deposit. Unless something else happens in the mean time. So that is what is happening right now; packing, saving, and hoping.

Hannah is growing up every day, right before my eyes. She has started this new thing where she will bring you a book, climb up on your lap and turn the pages, point, and read with you. And when you finished she will climb down, go get another book and repeat the process until you have every book she owns next to you. She LOVES books, board books right now.
She has also started to jabber a lot, it almost sounds like she is saying something. She even nods her head like she is really trying to get you to understand! She can shake her head "YES" and "NO", she dances (shakes her hips), she can say a lot of words, her newest one is "shoes" which she whispers. She is still rear facing in her car seat!! YIPPEE!! She only contests when she is tired, or when she has been in the car too long, which she would do even if she were front facing!

Thanksgiving was fun, we stayed at my dad's for 4 days, from Thursday to Sunday. Hannah slept pretty well, but she always ended up in bed with me. We got to spend time with everyone on Thursday, then Friday we just lounged around and my little sister's friends came over and we made cookies and had hot chocolate. Then Saturday we went over to my Aunts and played that one game "You are play sore mine" is "Your place or mine". I forget the name of it. But my grandma played with us, it was so funny everyone was laughing! Then we ate some sushi (my pregnant, soon to be sister in law, ate pizza) and then we had to leave. Then Sunday we left.
It was really nice to see everyone, and visit with my family. I wish we lived closer, but Michael LOVES his job, so that isn't going to happen any time soon.

Tuesday my sister was admitted to the hospital maternity ward. She was 2cm dilated. One of the twins has his head way WAY down and is pushing the cervix open. She is now 3 cm dilated and they are keeping her for a week at the hospital. She isn't too happy about it, but if she were home she wouldn't be sitting on her butt like she should be. So she is where she needs to be. I went to her house and got her clothes, books, and a picture of the kids for her, along with the essentials. So at least she feels a little more at home now.

Well Hannah is ready for me to come play with her now, she keeps playing peek a boo around the door, LOL. I love her.
Thanks for reading!!
