A Whole New Experience.....

Well, as you know in November we sold our 1st home in wonderful Broad Ripple and since it was the holidays and the middle of winter Chuck's parents were very kind and let us stay with them so we could relax, enjoy the holidays and take our time finding a new home. Well, we have definitely taken our time and hopefully not worn out our welcome, but I think it was well worth it! It is official we are moving to the burbs, Fishers to be exact, probably Chucks worst nightmare for sure, but I do think we found an awesome house that was well worth the wait! It has tons of room for Hannah to run around in, a fenced in back yard for Rudy, a finished basement for Chuck and a fabulous kitchen for me! Hopefully the hard part is over (finding the house), we have to get through the inspection but if everything goes smoothly we are scheduled to close on April 7th and we plan to move April 10th!! We are currently accepting volunteers to help move!! Ha!

Well....Spring is just around the corner which means it is almost outdoor running season in Indianapolis and hard core training time for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon. This will be the sixth Indianapolis Mini Marathon that Chuck and I have participated in, some years have been better than others but every year as soon as we cross the finish line we know that we want to sign up for the next year. It is just such a fun and amazing event!
This year I have found a way to incorporate my run and training into a good cause. Breast Cancer hit home for me a few years ago when my mom was diagnosed with it, we have been very very fortunate, it was caught early and all has been well since. I have signed up to do the "Virtual Marathon" with Susan G. Komen and to try and raise at least $250 to be donated and help find a cure for breast cancer. I want to do my part to find a cure in hopes that I and most certainly Hannah never have to worry about this disease!

If you can, please click on the link below (or on the left side of my blog) and help me reach my goal. Thank you so much for your support!

Hannah's first Oreo!! When I split it apart which side do you think she went after first? Girl after my own heart!! Then she stole my Oreo, split it apart on her own and took the side with all the filling!!!

I have been a huge picture and blogging slacker but our little girl turned 15 months on Monday and we could not let that be forgotten!! I cannot believe how much she has learned and how much she has grown in such a short amount of time. We are very lucky to have a healthy happy baby girl, and are so thankful to have her in our lives!
I will hopefully work on some current pictures this weekend but until then here are little Miss Hannah Jane's statistics that we received yesterday when we went for her 15 month check up.

Weight: 25 lbs 4 oz
Height: 31 1/4 inches
Head: 19 inches

Her favorite drink is milk, she loves grilled cheese and is currently not a fan of vegetables and fruit. She can say thank you, there ya go, peek a boo, no!, mama, and dada, she babbles all the time we just don't know what she is saying yet!
