Telg Family

Iowa

In January we moved to Council Bluffs, IA to begin a new journey in our lives. Matt was given a wonderful opportunity with Scoular and after much consideration we decided to leave our friends in Kansas City and move to Iowa. The whole thing was bitter sweet. It was great for Matt's career but very hard to leave everyone who has become a second family to us.

A few days before the move, Peggy came to help out with Kinley. THANK YOU PEGGY!!! She helped us out with Kinley while we did what little packing we had to do. Then when the movers came, she kept Kinley (and mommy) occupied while they packed up our house and loaded up the truck. WOW! I will NEVER move without movers again. That was so easy.

We closed on our house in Iowa on January 26, 2012. The unpacking process was a headache as unpacking always is. Luckily, Kinley loves her activity mat and kept herself occupied for long stretches of time so that Matt, Peggy, and I could unpack. There were times that we had a hard time getting to her because she was surrounded by boxes.

We are now unpacked and slowly settling in. Some things we will have to do over time but it is gradually becoming more and more like home. Here are just a few pics of Kinley in the new house. I will post pics of the house once we get things decorated and finish all the re-painting.

Old pic but..... IOWA? What the hell?
I don't know about that daddy.

Chillin in the exercise mat while we unpacked

Lounging in the bumbo

Matt thought it was funny to give her a pancake.
She didn't actually get it in her mouth but it was funny.

Grandma (and Grandpa) visit Iowa.
We got 9 inches of snow that weekend. Happy Snow!

She really likes moving in her jumperoo

She looks so grown up! It was -6 that day!

Matt made french toast for my birthday. This time she actuallly did put it to her mouth.

Merry Christmas

This year, we were supposed to be in Texas with Matt's family for Christmas. We were so excited to show Kinley off to all the family. None of Matt's siblings have met her yet. Plus, we hadn't seen our nieces or nephews in over a year. All the kids just could not wait to see Kinley. Well, not Madison because she doesn't really like babies but everyone else was excited. Unfortunately, a few days before we were supposed to leave we found out that Matt had osteomyelitis again. Horrible!! So, we had to stay in Olathe so that he could have some tests run. We were really upset not to be able to see our families but made the best of it. It ended up being really nice. Our first Christmas with Kinley was just the three of us as a family. Something we will never forget.
