More of San Francisco 2

I am still working on finishing our days in San Francisco

which is proving to be harder than i thought.

I never thought I would miss this tiny little place like I do.

Of course I miss all the people but I truly miss our little apartment 

and having my kids no more then 10 steps away at all

times. Not to mention there was only one way in and one way out

much easier then the 3 I am dealing with now.

When i was working on this page Banks kept telling me that

he was ready to go home now, and started listing all of his friends names...so sad.

Cousin #20

  Can you find all 20 cousins?.....

more of San Francisco

Thank heaven Jack Robins birthday fell at the end of the school year.

Even though it was getting pretty crazy at the end with moving, banquets and

graduation. This gave us one last excuse to all get together. These kids

played their hearts out together and we miss them all so much.

Nayvee did Joy School for two years and loved every second.

Next stop Kindergarten! I pretty much want to bawl my eyes out :(

Linden and I bought coupons to go on a Go Car Tour about a year ago and of

course we left to the last few days to go. It was fun, but I wish we had done it in our

first year so that the car wasn't the only new and exciting thing because the car 

got old after about 20 min. That being said, I won't complain because looking

back, anytime I got to spend with Hansens is worth gold to me now.

little of this a little of that

Banks got lego for Christmas and it is for sure his favorite toy.

After church one sunday we decided to go and fly our $1.99 kite

from Walgreens. From a previous experience with a similar kite we warned 

the kids that the kite might not fly too well. To our amazement this kite was

awesome and flew so high. Banks kept it up all by himself for at least 10 min. After a good hour

of flying the string broke and away our kite went.

On one of our many walks we came across an old run

down house painted teal blue, so we snapped a few pics.

This is one of our favorite things about San Francisco, all the houses are so 

different and can be any color from peptobismal pink to teal blue.

Finn taught us a fun game called blue house where you spot all the blue houses.

Nayvee of course had to tweak it a little and spotted all the pink houses.

One day while we were driving to the school in the car she burst out crying

because she was so sad to move and didn't want to miss seeing all the pink houses.

I'm Back

Things are starting to calm down a little around here and I am hoping to have

some time to get caught up. So the goal is two pages a night. I am extremely far behind

since the last few months of school were absolutely crazy. The good news is all that crazy

payed off since it's official today on the purchase  of the practice. 

So I still have a ton of stuff left to work on from San Francisco so you'll just have

to bare with my trips down memory lane.

I seriously cried when I made this page about the park, the last two thursdays 

have been super sad for me, since I am missing everyone so much.

I have really loved reading everyone's blogs over the last few weeks, and I'm so 

glad everyone is doing great.

Getting Caught up...almost

I am in denial.

I am in this wierd stage of not working on my blog

in the hopes that my life will slow down and that the inevitable changes

 that are ahead will somehow not get here....yet.

All these years we have been working towards graduating and now that it's here

I am... lets say "freaked out" about leaving this comfort zone of student life. 

I know we have to grow up sometime, I'm just not sure I'm ready.

So here is an attempt of what's been going on

around here, but in reality it's been exciting crazy and stressful all of which

I have not photographed...on purpose:)

John and Nayvee's Birthday

Girls Night and Banksy

We had a girls weekend in the beginning of April which was so

fun and well deserved. Kind of a fairwell event before we head out to all corner of the country.

I had some random pictures of Banks, the boy who loves to have his picture taken

 He is such a sweet boy, I wish I could freeze him right now...not too much sass and tons of love!

Grandma and Grandpa Visit SF

This should have been posted way back in March but better late then never.

I was super excited that both my Mom and my Dad

were coming for a whole 10 days!

My dad hadn't been back to San Francisco since he helped us move in

so we were super excited to show him the city that we love.

Southern California

I have had a few things on the go and gotten a little behind

on the blog so I will be posting a lot over the next few days hopefully. 

This is the last of our trip to Southern California.

Thanks to all those who let us crash at their houses, we had so much fun!

Disneyland!

If you haven't been...you should go!

Birthday Boy

I can hardly believe it has already been two years!

He was so excited all day, and has been practicing blowing out his candles for months:)
