I have some catching up to do!

We closed on our house over 2 weeks ago and have been busy getting it ready to move in. We've painted several rooms before taking off to Maryland to visit family and go to a wedding. We also had the hardwood floors refinished (the house is 50 years old! the floors needed work) Now Ryan is with his dad replacing the back door, repointing the chimney, fixing the gutters and doing other minor repairs. We still have take down wallpaper, buy a range, paint more rooms and clean the carpets before we actually move in. It feels like it will never happen! Though while we were in Maryland we helped Nathan and Ashley move and I am definitely not looking forward to moving our own stuff. Once we move in I will post pictures of our new house!

We had a blast in Maryland hanging out with Grandpa and Grandma Fisher. Ethan showed off his new tricks: sitting up, clapping and trying to crawl. He is such a happy little guy and we love him, even when he wakes us up in the middle of the night (which is sadly almost every night these days)
Here are some pictures of us in Maryland:

Us with Grandma Fisher in front of the temple after Ryan's cousin's wedding.

I miss being so close to a temple. We were lucky we could go to the wedding, our recommends expired on that day! We haven't had a chance to go to a temple in awhile so we didn't even realize it was close to expiring. Now that Ethan is finally eating his fruits and veggies, we can go up to the Boston Temple.
