Settling In...

Whew...It's been a crazy past week! Friday we closed on our house, and we pretty much painted the entire weekend, with help from my parents, Andy, and Liz! Thanks guys.... we really couldn't have done it all without you!!! We accomplished a lot (painting the kitchen, living room, the laundry room, Carson's room, and lots of doors and trim), but...we still have more to do!! This weekend James and I are hoping to tackle our bedroom, bathroom, and the guest room :) Once we get everything painted and our furniture and stuff in place I'll post some pictures.

As for now, we are all settling in quite nicely. Chloe LOVES her yard, her deck, and taking walks in her new neighborhood. Mommy loves her big kitchen and her living room full of windows. Daddy loves his big living room with plenty of space to get down on the floor and play with Carson and Chloe. Carson LOVES sleeping in his bed again, playing with his Big Red mobile, and streching out in our big living room. Carson has gotten smarter since we've moved in too...

He can now sit in his Bumbo seat

He can grab a hold of his rattle, and is wanting to chew on it....Teething already, YIKES!

He can wear his hair in a mohawk

He is also multitasking...Sucking his thumb while holding his rattle. Nice.

Maybe he's smarter or maybe it's just the owl outfit making him look a little "wiser". Either way...I just love this guy!
