New Life, New Friends!!

So... I'm finally in the world of the living again. Lol.

We finally got moved - which was a pain in my rear end, actually - and got all of our stuff into our new house. It took a while, but we also got y computer set up so that I can now once again speak to those that are important in my life other than my family.

Although, I must say, I am very pleased with our new home and our neighbors. My neighbor, named Traci, is a wonderful woman that has a set of 5 year old twins... Hannah and Jason. Both are extraordinary children, and I am so grateful to have met them. They are quite inquisitive kids as well, always asking questions, and rather polite, might I add. One of the things that I enjoy, though, is when they're over at my house, they make themselves at home, only asking me when they need a fruit snack or maybe a drink. Other than that, they play right along with Toby. Which is wonderful. Toby loves them as well, he even said it to both of them. It was a day last week, actually. He waltzed right up to little Jason and wrapped his arms around him before going, "Love you..." Then repeated the process with Hannah.

Traci is a wonderful woman as well, and I feel like I've found a sister that I thought I never had. She makes me feel wanted, a lot more than what I felt in Punxsutawney, and it's a wonderful feeling... that it is. She's going to school for Cosmotology as well, which is awesome, since I have my Nail Technician liscense. We talk about everything under the sun, every night. She's been such a blessing as well, because we're sharing meals. One night I'll make dinner, and the other night she'll make dinner.

The house is coming together rather nicely. I actually got the entire kitchen unpacked on Wednesday, and I'm hoping on Monday to start in the office/living room. But already it's feeling more and more like my family belongs here, and it's such an awesome feeling that I'm bursting with joy.

Most of my stress is gone, and I feel more acomplished since the move. I wasn't sure if I would survive the move, but I perservered and got myself together.

Sadly though, poor little Toby has strep throat and probably a sinus infection... But luckily he's on medicine, so hopefully that will clear up. As for little Aidan, he's getting closer and closer every day to actually crawling. And I'm sitting here right now, the pack and play beside me, and I swear he just did crawl forward just the tiniest of bits before letting himself down onto his belly.

I kind of feel bad for my first baby though... Ella, that is... She's still trying to adjust to all of this... Well, not the house, that is. She loves this new house. She's trying to adjust to Jason and Hannah along with how small our back yard is. If the weather ever breaks and we have a decent day of nice 70 degree weather with not high humidity, then I'll take her on a nice walk outside with the kids. We could walk down to Jason's Advance Auto and visit him at work.

And as for my amazing husband, he's enjoying his new job. It's a challenge, that's for sure, but he's enjoying it very much. I guess he said that there are a few things that need straightened out, but other than that, everything is fine. He is now coming home almost every day at around 5:30 and not taking a nap, so he plays with Toby and Aidan a lot more, which is wonderful...

OH M G!!! Aidan just crawled forward! Sure, his face was burried into the bottom of the pack and play (which was a rather funny picture that I wish I could have caught), but he managed to push his legs forward and he went forward. Yay to my little man!

Sorry, I just had to give you that news, because it makes me feel all giddy inside...

And sadly, I have to end this because I believe I need to go into Mommy mode since I'm watching 4 kids that are watching the very tail end of the movie Rio... and once that movie is over, I have a feeling all chaos might break loose. lol...

Bounty Hunter...

OUT!
