Trip to Dallas for Club Foot Update

I actually went to her Dr's apointment a few weeks ago, I'm just now doing a little blog-catch-up.

Well, long story short: we drove the 3 hours up to Dallas for them to basically say she was looking good and they can't do anything still.lol But really. They said that they will do a "scanogram" when she's between 4-6 years old where they would be able to really see if there is anything they need to do. They said that her bones are still developing so an x-ray right now would be pointless. So, we'll be driving back up in about 6-8 more months to hear the same news.lol Seems so silly, but it makes for a fun road trip for Siena and I! In fact, I think next time we might just go to the State Fair! Yes, I'm already planning our next trip

Before going to her appointment we headed over to Panera Bread for some lunch. It was fantastic!

Siena was making faces at everyone that walked by.

 She likes lemons..

 And chocolate cookies..but who doesn't?

 This is in the waiting room. She loved pulling those things on and off the little pegs..she spent about 30 minutes doing that.

 They finally got us back into a room, where we proceeded to wait for 45 minutes. All in all we were waiting for almost 2 hours, and were seen for all of 10 minutes. Love the Drs.lol

 We got to read lots of books though!

  And Siena found a cubby to hide in.lol

 This is a funny one. Look closely, it's worth it. Siena really dislikes Doctors in general and if at any point there was a noise that might just mean that the Dr could be coming in the room, she'd make this freak-out face and come running to me. It was pretty funny.

We're glad she's doing well though! The Dr kept saying over and over how good her foot looks and almost seemed surprised by it, so that's great news!

Easter, a move, and lots of family!

I am behind on my blogging. We closed on and moved into our house on the first, my family came to visit(and help us move in) and then Joel's side of the family also came to visit. Here are the pictures from when they came and also from Easter morning.

This is Siena opening her easter basket that she got from Gma and Papa Reichert. Good thing they sent something or otherwise she wouldn't have gotten anything this Easter. I didn't even think about it since we were so busy with moving stuff.

 She sat there and colored for 20 minutes straight.

 Easter morning before we headed off to church.

 Siena's Easter dress that I made her.

 This was right before we took the truck back. We forgot to take pics of the process. whoops.

 One of the nights when my parents were in town we went out and stayed out a little past siena's bed-time and she got a little "slap-happy"...lol

 I love her smoothie mustaches!

 Hanging out with Nini.

 In downtown Georgetown. James and his buddy Ethan

 Papa and Siena

 Eating at the Monument Cafe. James ate so much food!

 Siena was admiring the pastries at Round Rock Donuts.

 Siena loves her cake donuts!

 In line at Hop Doddy. I'm pretty sure this is the last time I'll be going back there. I was sick the rest of the day from eating the turkey burger I got (I thought it was going to be a sandwhich..it was called the "continental club" Sounds like a club sandwhich right? No. It had a HUGE turkey burger on it). My body just can't handle that amount of meat anymore.

 My parents left for Houston and the Reicherts came into town. Here we are at Juan in a Million.

 Ryan and Lauren

 Joel and I

 Doug and Viv

 Cne and Siena

 Gareth and the large chinese statues?

Anyway, we had a ton of fun with all the family we had in town! It was so great getting to see everyone!

More House Pics and Some Easter Fun

We finally remembered to take pics of the finished house! We will close on Monday and move in on Monday and we are so excited! Before we get to house pictures, I have a few fun adventures to document first.
Siena did her first real Easter egg hunt on Friday. I think I may have brought her to one last year, but she was too little to really get it. I do feel a little bad though because since we got there so late, she only got 2 eggs. But she was so excited about her 2 eggs that it didn't really matter.

 This morning we headed over to our favorite park. Here are a few fun pictures of Joel and Siena swinging.

She just LOVES the park! Ok, now for the house!
Here is a view from the front door:

 Then looking at the kitchen (p.s. that light fixture will probably be one of the first things we're going to switch out)

 Siena is already feeling right at home. She has established her play-zone..lol Every time we have gone to look at the house she ends up in that cabinet. Love it.
