Things I'm still getting used to:

• Tall ceilings. Reaching things without a stool has been a normal part of life for well 10 years, not anymore.
• A zillion stairs. I never understood why people wanted an upstairs and downstairs changing table. However, after hauling my 20# baby Sho up and down the stairs several times a day I now understand. It's a workout!
• Having neighbors. So far I've met the man who lives straight across from us and his landlady who lives next door to him. Both are very nice. But on our first night here a neighbor had a party which ended in a huge fight and the police coming. :-/
• Not being able to hear every little thing that is going on in the house. Which is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because now my night-shift working husband can get some uninterrupted sleep. A curse because now I can't just yell to my kids I actually have to go and get them to talk to them.
• That this big beautiful house is really ours!

Now onto organizing Gaius' room, also known as the "toy room". If I don't post in a few days, send out a search team. :-) Just kidding!

Here's a couple things that happened while I was MIA last week.

• Shoshannah started full out crawling(not just army crawling), which made unpacking rather difficult.
• Paul turned 5, which made him so happy because "now he's older than Gaius." Competitive much? :-)
• Marc and I had our 10 year anniversary. Which we spent unpacking boxes. Our new house was a pretty large and grand Anniversary present, don't you think?!

I have loved old houses for as long as I can remember.

And this house has so much antique charm that I can't even stand it!

I'm so shocked, awed, and thankful that God blessed us with this really big "want" .

I wanted to show you all a couple of my favorite things that came with this house, but I don't want to seem boastful so I think I'm going to space out the pictures.

Keep an eye out for more of my "favorites", coming soon...

**New Blog Coming Soon!**

Bye, bye birdies :-(

The Robin's Nest

It was no small task getting Mama's (or is it Papa's?) photo.

[S]he is very quick and skittish!

Moving pretty much took over my life for day 10 and 11.

"Robin" is venturing out!

FYI

• Posts will probably be non-existent for a bit. No internet for an undetermined amount of time. But I do have a couple ideas in the works.
• I hate moving!!!
• I love my new house!!!!
• At this moment most of our furniture is in our front yard waiting to be loaded.
• I'm exhausted!

See you on the other side! :-)

These babies are growing like weeds!
