New Stuff!

We had our second, full day in the new house today.  Susan had to go to work, but I was off.  Kathy (Susan's mom) and I got a lot done after dropping Noah off at school....cleaned out the old house and ran errands.  When we picked Noah up, his teachers said he had a great day and was telling everyone about his new house and his new "big-boy" bed.  Speaking of the big-boy bed, last night wasn't as smooth as the first night...he was nervous and cried last night as we put him down - we felt pretty bad, but are pressing forward.  Tonight, he "moaned" for a few minutes, but was better; no crying...hopefully tomorrow will be a bit better, too.

On our way home from scooping up Noah today, we stopped at the nursery near our new house...Kathy had the wonderful idea to pick out a bush/tree with Noah and plant it in the yard.  So, we ended up with a Dwarf Mops Mugo Pine...to those of you to whom this means nothing, join the club....but I have the good fortune of seeing it and it is a really nice little evergreen bush that won't grow to be too big.  So, we got home and Kathy and Noah planted the bush right off the patio...I took a few pics, but the cable guy stiffed us on Saturday so we still don't have TV/cable/phone (and cell phone service stinks at our new house).  Anyways, it was actually really great - and Noah loved the whole process.  It's Kathy's goal that Noah nurtures this plant and that it grows with him at our new house...very sweet idea and I look forward to helping him take care of his and grammy's plant!  

All streaks still in tact - our new neighborhood is great and Susan and I ran a couple loops around the cul de sac together.  My legs felt much better today than they had the past couple with all of the running up and down stairs dragging boxes et al around.  Speaking of which, a handful of the new neighbors came over just before Susan got home from work and introduced themselves to Noah and I...they seemed great - very excited to be here!
