The new house from Vake's perspective

So Vake and I spent a lot of quality time on Friday hanging out while Gil slept in the pack and play. (On a side note, I ventured out to Wal-mart here, one of the about 4 big stores here in town to buy said pack and play. Lets just say I found the experience totally overwhelming.)

Here's the view in our be neighborhood- I let vake take the pictures. He did not think that a picture of our house was necessary so this is the view from the front porch.


Looking down the street.


Our next door neighbor's house.


A bush in our front yard.


We worked really hard to get basically the entire basement of the house on eldorado empty today. Now, for the unpacking and the figuring out where everything goes! Wheeee!

School does not start for Vake with the rest of the school, so while everyone else is starting on Tuesday, he's got some extra time with me. I think things are about to get a lot easier- because we knew that the house on eldorado was sort of a short term solution, we've been using it a little like a hotel room- with very little unpacked. Whew.

We are going to try to go to church tomorrow morning. It is strange- I am now the stereotypical housewife- I don't see very many people I know during the course of the day so I am dying to talk to Eric when he gets home. Eric, on the other hand, would be perfectly fine never talking to anyone again when he gets home.

Working on moving!

Today, while Eric was at work, I loaded and reloaded Eric's Yukon with stuff out of the basement and took it over to the new house. The boys were great. Totally flexible and cooperative during the whole thing.

So I probably moved about 25 or so boxes today- shouldn't be such a big deal except for the fact that our garage is about 10 big steps up from the house- so getting every box in is a project. Ugh

We're renting this house until our house sells and one of the stipulations is that we cannot change any of the decor until we actually take ownership. It is going to be hard not to do anything we buy! Wheeee!

And we're back!

Wow! What a month it has been.

Got a great result for a client in a life case- a big fat not guilty on the 20-life charge! Took about 20 years off my life getting there.

Got the house on the market! Wow! That was a project too!

Then got myself and the children across the country with all our earthly possessions.

We are in the process of getting settled now- we are staying in the tiny house that my mom and guests will stay in but we start renting our bigger house on Saturday. The movers are coming on Wednesday to help with that transition.

It is completely gorgeous here. Very very different from the east coast but pretty. Still getting used to everything! Ahhhh well- Rome was not built in a day!

There was hour after hour of digging


And digging.

Cozy coupe: everyone's fave

I don't know if anyone remembers how much vake loved his cozy coupe. He did though. He really did. And it got really gross being in our backyard so I wound up just throwing it away when we moved out of the house.


Look who loves the cozy coupe now.

Gil at the beach.

Turns out that Gil absolutely loves being in the ocean. I am actually pretty surprised by this, because at the same age, vake was not nearly as big a fan. But Gil found the waves to be totally hilarious.


He also loved digging in the sand. He was very upset when the time came for us to leave for the day.
