Settling Down

It's been almost one week since we moved to this house here...

And though we are all certainly homesick for PA, we're counting our blessings because we really really like the new house and the area. If we had to leave "Perfectville" I'm glad it was for a house like this (carpet, carpet everywhere!) in a place like this (15 minute drive to Old Towne, what?!).

I'd say this has been a good week for the kids too. Grayson met a new friend!! My childhood girlfriend came by with her son who is four months older than Grayson. They were hiding behind mommy legs and furniture at first but soon hit it off like mini ninjas. Sword fights and all. Mine is the one whose feet are literally off the ground. He couldn't have been more overjoyed to have another boy to romp around with until they both smelled of sweaty (yet very cute) dog.














Then there's my Lillabeth. Abby Cakes. AbbySnail. She's divine, I can say nothing else about her that could be more true. She is all smiles too plus two new teeth! She's happy until those teeth remind her that her gums aren't the invisible things they once were in utero. Poor little swollen mouth, why can't babies just have small elastic gums that yield nicely to protruding enamel like my yoga pants do for my waistline ? Such a sin for them to hurt, ever. She's a doll though, and aside from trying to eat me when I come within reaching distance (nursing= comfort for her), she is fairing just as well as her brother in her new surroundings. Sadie? Well, we haven't quite crossed that bridge. We haven't had the nerve to leave her alone with "notourhouse" yet. We'll keep you posted because eventually this mom has to fly the coop sans canine whether we like it or not. Let's just hope the tub here is to her liking, and the drywall is...not.
