New House






Well, it's been a long time since our last post due almost entirely to the time-consuming nature of packing, moving, and unpacking all our stuff with a toddler running around. We have a new home that is bigger, younger than us, and has a couple more bedrooms and bathrooms, but it has a lot of stairs, which Andrew is very slowly getting used to. In the relative calm of the past few weeks, we went to the apple orchard twice, once with Grandma and Granddad and once with our friends the Moons, and Mommy hosted a party!! That last part was actually pretty exciting.
Our house-warming gift to Andrew has been two train sets: one Thomas, one Ikea. They are supposed to be compatible. They are not. So now he has blue (Thomas) choo choo in the family room and the other choo choos (Ikea) in his playroom in the basement. Yes, there is a dedicated room to Andrew's toys, to which we can close the door and never mention to guests.
Otherwise, we are all doing well. Thank you to all who read this and continue to care about Andrew and watch as he grows.

Yea for new houses (esp ones that are younger than you)! That is too bad that your wooden Thomas and IKEA train sets aren't compatible. We did the same thing and ours are.... I wonder what the difference is? :( And thanks for the party invite - so much fun!

Well, the trains are compatible, but the tracks need a little persuasion to fit together correctly. Or an hour with a jig saw.

Great update! Hope the next one doesn't take so long :)
