Our Peanut

Very early on Enoch has loved to stand up straight. He has really strong legs, even the nurse commented on the girth of his thighs right after he was born!
So here they are.....

his cute chubby thighs!!!



These are the last few pictures that I took at our first place down here in Denver.
When we first moved to Denver we didn't have a placed to live lined up. So when we had help finding the townhouse we ended up renting, we felt extremely blessed.
About September we started house hunting. I think we walked through 30 some odd homes. We found one that we loved but it didn't have the square footage that we were hoping for. We found another one, the same floor plan as the first one we loved but more square footage. Only we really didn't care for the area that it was in.
The following week we walked through 6 homes and both felt really good about the 5th one. It was a Ranch style, 5 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, at the end of a culdesac. The seller had bought it in March and flipped it, so no one had lived in it since the remodel was done. Not only did we really like it, but we felt really good about it. The next day we found out that it was in the same ward that we'd been attending.... which made us like it all the more!
So we put in an offer, went back and forth in negotiations a couple of times, and on December 23rd went under contract for this particular house. Then, on January 21st we closed on our very first house!!
So all of the following pictures were taken here, at our first place.






A view of our crazy (crazy cool) backyard from the kitchen window.





And here's our cute little house!!
I promise I'll try to post more pictures of the inside but we're not completely out of boxes yet.
The move went so well! We had soooo much help from so many wonderful ward members! It went so fast. The day after we moved the majority of our stuff over to the new house I had so many sisters from the ward come over to help me clean the townhouse. We have felt so overwhelmingly taken care ever since we moved into this ward. It's really a special ward and we feel so grateful to have found a house in the ward boundaries.
We are loving having our own place and feel very blessed to have found it, to have gotten it for the price that we did, to have had so much help moving, and so much more! We just feel so blessed!
