oklahoma

we live in oklahoma--how crazy is that?! we miss pittsburgh. a lot. but we are adjusting to life here just fine. we had a bit of a rough start with the place we were supposed to move into being a complete disaster so rich had to scramble and find a new place for us to live. we now live in a brand new 3rd floor apartment and are very happy to have a dishwasher, disposal, washer & dryer and a pool. the commute is further than our original place so we are still trying to figure out the car situation. but, luckily before maza and i could get too bored we had our first visitors! my grandparents are celebrating their 50th anniversary and going on a cross country church history roadtrip. they came to stay with us for a few days on their way out east! we had so much fun. 

maza loves her new apartment.

playing with great grandma and grandpa.

we did some exploring of oklahoma during the visit. this is at the 45th infantry museum close to downtonwn.

at the oklahoma history museum.

at america's only museum of osteology. it was rated #1 on tripadvisor for things to do in OKC. i didn't have very high expectations but it turned out to be really cool!

maza has been very slow in being interested in walking/standing/pulling herself up but just this past week she has been pulling herself up like she's always known how. she especially loves going for the laptop and open toilet.

we had a very relaxing 4th of july with a parade and farmers market in the morning and in the afternoon we hit the pool. maza LOVES the pool and is just so dang cute in her swimsuit, hat and floatie.

happy 4th of july!!

maza's 1st birthday

june has been an eventful month for us. we kicked it up into high gear getting ready for our move at the beginning of the month. for as much preparation as i thought i had done beforehand, it was still a crazy few days as we prepared to move to oklahoma. on june 8th we had one last hurrah with our friends and family in pittsburgh. we packed up the truck(a big shot out to our wonderful friends who helped us move and to roxanne who helped us finish our packing--we couldn't have done it without you!), had a dinner and then a birthday celebration for maza.i can't believe our girl is one! she opened presents all day long, played with her cousins and had her favorite treat ever, icecream sandwiches. maybe not your traditional first birthday, but a good day none the less. happy birthday to our sweet maza girl!
