So.. I temporarily misplaced my camera/lost it in the move so no pictures today....
Things are going well with us. We have moved in after staying with Mom Erfurth for a week, and are still redoing the house. We get carpet next week and we have ordered our whole new kitchen last week and that should be coming in a couple of weeks. Then the counter tops come about 3 weeks after that. Our new appliances are all here. Yeah!! I can finally do some laundry :)
It is a long process but it will be worth it in the end. The house looks great so far. Most of the painting is done.. Thanks to everyone who has helped us with the house, and for Chris's hard work.
We are adjusting very well here. Family and friends stop by almost everyday.We love that and the really really enjoy seeing everyone. And we are meeting tons of people in our neighborhood. I am actually going out with about 10 other ladies from the neighborhood tomorrow night to play games(Bonko), eat dinner, and chat. It should be so much fun. The kids and I have some playdates scheduled at neighbors houses during the next and we have enrolled Lily in a Preschool class on Weds. It is called Moms day out. She will love it. We are looking into dance and Gymastics classes for Lily as well. She loved watching gymnastics this year during the Olympics and says that she wants to do that.. so we will give it a shot. We also are going to be going to Parent share that the elementary school and open gym which should be great for both of the kids. You just stop in and play with other kids/adults have conversations with other parents. We are totally excited for this. They have a classroom set up with toys for Parent share and Open gym is for little ones to get energy out. This should be great in the Winter time. We got a Children's museum membership so we will also spend lots of time there. I was worried that we wouldn't have much to do here, since there was tons to do in Iowa for kids. Boy am I wrong. We might be overloaded with things to do and people to do things with. But that is good.
Our neighbors have been just great. Everyday since we have lived here, they have been coming over and bringing us goodies to welcome us to the neighborhood. They are probably so glad to have someone living at this house. It has been vacant for a while.
About the kids.. Nolan can now stand up by himself and he just stands in the middle of the floor. He wants to take steps by himself but after the first step, he usually slows down.He waves bye bye, Hi, says hi, mama, dada..... Lily is such a big helper with Nolan. She is adjusting to moving, yet again but is doing very well. She has really calmed down in the past week. She is playing with the neighborhood girls great. We took the kids to see the races in Sun Prairie last night and they had a blast. They were great and although it got late, were so so good. We went to see Auntie Coco's boyfriend Bubba race (his real name is Gary). He did a great job and got 5th over all, which is great. Lily sat in his race car and they took many pictures of us all together. Bubba even signed an autograph for Lily and she keeps it with her all the time. She loves Bubba so much. It is really cute. She made him a picture and a poster to hold up while he raced. Too fun!!
Nolan stayed awake the whole time and watched the races too. He would not keep his eyes off of the cars. The Corn was good too :) We love that every year.
Chris is liking his new position. He is home more, which he really enjoys. And has Sunday's and Monday's off to spend with us and other family.
