Moving on up

Big news for the Hansen's, Jeremy has been transferred to Massachusetts for work which means that we have officially changed our residence to New England. Here are a few pictures of the house we just bought. It's a 1927, colonial style home. Isn't it charming?? We can't wait to begin this new adventure after living in Louisiana for almost 4 years. Our new location is about 1 1/2 hours from Boston and about 2 1/2 hours from New York. Anyone want to visit us now??

Baby Birds

A couple of weeks ago we found a bird's nest in our back yard with four tiny eggs inside. We initially thought that the mother had abandoned the nest because she never seemed to be around. Today, however, I discovered that the babies had arrived.

Birthday Weekend

My wonderful husband took me to Baton Rouge for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. Even though it's only one and a half hours away it was great just to be somewhere different. We had a great time, and here are a few reasons why...



Chinese food



Whole foods



Dessert food

What can I say, Roundy's love food!!



PeeWee, on the other hand, was less than thrilled about having to stay home.

It was a holiday miracle when we found this pinkberry in NOLA


Pinkberry rocks my world

Mom and Dad couldn't get enough of the seafood gumbo at Big Al's. Mom reminded us that gumbo means rice.

Our New Place!

Here are a few outside pictures of our new place. I will post some of the inside soon.

A view of the outside


This is a satsuma tree. They taste and look a lot like tangerines. Our landlord said the fruit should start growing this summer...can't wait!!


This is a picture of the awesome screened in porch. The screen goes all the way around so we don't have to worry about all the mosquito's coming in, and it has ceiling fans...double bonus!


Another view of the outside


The backyard and shed


Our own private lane...LOVE it!!

We are so happy to have found this place and we are absolutely loving it! Pee Wee loves running around in the yard and barking at the cows next door...what a nut! All-in-all it has been a great transition.

Christmas 2009

Just wanted to share a few pictures from our visit to Utah over Christmas. Some of the highlights included, Christmas Eve, mounds of delicious food, a pair of very tight PJ's (Fischer), Pee Wee getting acquainted with the snow, and Liv's baptism.



















All-in-all it was a great visit filled with many memories. The only downer was the absence of the Payne family. I guess you can't have everything though.
