Forever Home!

It has been awhile since my last post, things have been just a wee bit busy! We are finally "settled" in our new house! There are still unopened boxes and hardly any pictures on the wall...oh and the basement...yeah, it is a disaster but we will get to everything in time. It's times like these when I realize that I am such a creature of habit ! I am forever going to the wrong place in the kitchen to open the utensil drawer! And it completely threw me off when I couldn't find the proper scoop to dish out the cat food...but you can all rest easy, I eventually found it!

We love our new digs! We loved our old digs too, but we were just finding it a little too small since the kidlets came along. We could have managed, I mean, I grew up apartments and mini homes and by mini homes I don't mean those fancy mini homes like my Aunt Lynda and Uncle George have that are like new bungalows without basements, I'm talking about ALUMINUM mini homes! We called them trailers back in my day and when it rained heavy , you'd swear the roof was coming in! Ahhh, childhood memories..... but as I was saying, we could have managed, but after a lot of thought, we decided it would be best to find a house with a bit more space for our family. It wasn't an easy search either! Trying to find a home in a nice subdivision, with more space and a garage , in our price range that didn't need too much work was not easy. But then we found it!

It certainly isn't perfect and it needs a little work, but it's our forever home and we just love it! We have plans to put up a fence when the weather gets nice so our little runner can play safely in his yard and Mark and I just may be able to sit down( GASP) on the deck and watch our kids play...that may seem simple enough to some people but for Mark and I who have been spending our summers chasing our boy around the yard and parks it sounds like an all inclusive vacation! We just might be able to have friends over too! Imagine!

Speaking of our little runner, he just loves his new house too! The first night was a little rough but we expected that. Considering he went to sleepover at his Nana and Pepe's (so we could move in and get settled) and he comes "home" to find that home is now a different place! I actually expected it to be much worse, but nope, he has adjusted super well! And Miss Ruby...oh, I hate to even say it...but Miss Ruby has slept 3/5 nights through the night in her own room! Now I'm sure because I wrote this she will be up all night just to keep me on my toes:)
