  Monday Paul got home from work and Mary said "hi dad" really clearly, Paul and I were both so surprised! Later that night we met with a realtor for the first time, and we got briefed on what the market looks like and we shared what we are looking for. Mary also had another molar poke through on top, so she has 10 teeth now. 

 Tuesday we went to reading time and we made a playdate with a new friend for the next day, Irina is the mom and Alexander is her 2-year-old son. Wednesday I had a doctor's appointment before our playdate. We were going to go to the park, but it snowed so we went to the children's museum. We were with Irina and Alexander for about 2.5 hours before we went home, Mary fell asleep in the car. 

 Thursday Paul worked with a lender and got our pre-approval process started. I looked at more houses in the area. Friday, I found these houses that seemed to be just what we were looking for and I sent them to Paul, he really liked them and sent them to our realtor who set up a tour for us for Saturday in Fernley. We also got our preapproval letter from the lender. 

 Saturday was 6 years since Paul and I got engaged! We had a fun breakfast and talked with our lender on our way over to Fernley. We spent the whole morning in Fernley looking at homes and talking to the builder. We loved what we saw and heard, and we tentatively reserved a house lot for purchase in July. We went back to Sparks and went to two open houses. One of them was really nice and we told our realtor about that one as well. Our realtor said if we want to enter into a contract for July, he wants to make sure it's exactly what we want, so he is going to take us around the Reno area this next week to look at houses. If we still like Fernley the best, we will fill out the paperwork this next weekend. 

 I asked Mary "what does the cow say?" and she said "moo." It was so cute. Sunday Mary slept the whole night then we gave her a bath before our Sunday walk. We went to church, and I met another mom friend in the ward.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
