Carter's First Christmas

"Ooooh, I can't wait any longer!!!"

"Holy cow!"

Settling In

The 2nd full day in our new house was quite an improvement over the 1st. Nichole & I still enjoy it as much as ever but the kids are really warming up to it.

Carter is back to his normal 10-ish hours of sleep & he's getting to play with more of his toys now that we have the room.

Speaking of room, Athena's attitude has shifted 180 degrees. At first she didn't want to go out alone (if at all...she is really testing the limits of her bladder) but now she'll spend upwards of an hour out all by herself. It's almost as if something clicked in her head, "You mean to tell me that this is MY yard? And I can go out whenever I want? Well, why didn't you day so???"

If she thinks she likes it now, she'll love it in the spring when we put the fence up so she can roam from corner to corner of the...HER yard.

As far as us, the kitchen is almost complete (a man's gotta eat!) and the living room is not too far behind. Next up will be the playroom and garage...yippee!

Finally!

After many, many, many months of searching and a couple months of negotiations, we are finally in our house!

The move went relatively smooth due in great part to family and some great friends. We are so grateful to be blessed with such selfless people in out lives.

Last night was our first night there. Carter seemed unaffected with the exception that he felt he had to eat every 2 hours throughout the night.

Athena still isn't quite sure despite all of her stuff being there and a big back yard to play in, but she is slowly warming up to the place.

Both Nichole & I can't believe we actually had that much...crap (okay, someone had to say it) in that apartment. Its gonna take a few days (snicker) but everything will be in its place.

It already feel like home.
