Saturday, 12/4 I met with Elijah's new preschool teacher to get him registered there and then we also went to the Christmas Parade in town. We were kind of amazed that it is actually a Christmas parade and not a holiday parade.

| Really, how cute are those boys? |

| Gavin came over the check out the tree, but we quickly more interested in his toys again. He has ventured over to pull off some ornaments, but Elijah is kind of the "Christmas tree cop" and he always moves G and tells him "It's not safe". |

The rest of this week went by in a blur. Elijah is going to preschool M-Th mornings and is really enjoying it so far. He has pulled through with the coffee and has brought home a baggy of freshly ground coffee for me everyday. It is really pretty cute.
Marty's job seems to be going really well. He says he feels like he is doing a good job.... it is just a matter of taking time and building relationships, etc. He has been working some really long days.... he flew to another area of Oregon one day last week and didn't get home 'til almost midnight, just to be back at the office by 8am with a work dinner that night.... so we basically didn't see him from Tuesday morning until Thursday night.
Oh, and a new move wouldn't be complete without tracking down the nearest Urgent Care within the first couple weeks. :-( Poor little Gavin has another ear infection. He started antibiotics yesterday, so hopefully the terrible fever will be gone soon and he'll start feeling better.
All that to say - we're feeling more settled! A couple wall hangings to hang up yet and then everything is in it's place. :-)
Happy Sunday!
I think you are Superwoman. I don't know anybody who's ever unpacked and decorated so quickly!
ReplyDeleteUnpacking isn't fun. We'd have a melt down one day as we'd find 1 slipper - "where is my other slipper?" So up till 2 AM unpacking and find 1 girls other slipper, but while proudly presenting it to her the next day a sister would cry out, but where are my slippers...
ReplyDeleteThey learned the mantra really fast, it's in some box, some where. We had been here maybe a week or so and it was raining, so I found a box labeled front hall closet and dug out rain coats feeling all proud of myself for finding them, just to be asked where are our umbrellas?... After a pause our 3 year old stated, "they are in some box some where" - and we were off for the day w'o umbrellas :)
Good luck unpacking (and finding urgent cares, churches, Chinese - one day we ordered take out from one, but it took over 45 min. for us to locate it, even though when we found it it was less than 15 min away - not a fun car ride w' 3 hungry kids!)

Look at that awesome tree skirt!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having some great adventures!!! Sorry Gavin is having a hard time. Hope you have a fantastic Christmas!
ReplyDeleteUm, you can definitely add the tag "superwoman" to all future correspondence regarding yourself.
ReplyDeletesheesh!
we moved in like 3 years ago....and I am pretty sure there are still packed boxes.
good job yo :)
You go Superwoman...I definitely need some of that coffee apparently :) I at least know where our kitchen and clothes boxes are. I guess that's a good first step :)
