I finally have a moment to sit down and update my blog! After spending 5 hours at the DMV yesterday (to register both vehicles and get California licenses-don't get me started, I still have to go back) I am ready for a break!
First on the updating...our house! Yes, we finally have a place of our own (sortof, we are renting). BUT we do not have to share a wall/ceiling/backyard with anyone! I can send my boys out back without worrying too much what they are getting into! (They are decedents of Jed however, so curiosity and mischievousness comes natural).
Here are some before, during and after pictures of our house...
The kitchen floor
The bathroom floor
The boarder in the kitchen (and Grandma scraping it off)
The dining room/office floor once the carpet was pulled up.
Daddy and Grandpa painting the room (they did the whole house ALL night Sunday night)
The new floor in the kitchen and bathroom
Our new carpet and walls
Mr. L helping grandma!
Daddy had his white coat ceremony (pictures to come). The boys were quite proud of their Daddy, when it was his turn they both stood up on their chairs and yelled "Yeah Dad! You're cool Dad!" (Video to come)
Daddy with his white coat and Loops
We've been able to go to the beach twice so far. These pictures are from last week after the first big test (he passed!)
Daddy and friend fishing and crabbing
Mr. L and Mr. R having fun at the beach
The boys have made some great friends. Luckily a great family we had met our first time coming down had two grandsons the same age as the boys! Mr. R started kindergarten, had a little bit of a rough start (class clown=trouble maker), but he quickly learned the rules and is doing GREAT!
Mr. L will be starting preschool soon (Mommy and some friends are doing a co-op) and both Mr. L and mommy are excited about it!
And last but not least...Squeaks! She now weighs about 10 lbs and loves to smile and talk to you! I think she's even starting to laugh! She is very alert, loves to look around and does not like the wind just yet!
As for how mommy is handling things...I'm doing quite well! I don't feel quite like a widow yet, but I'm sure that will change soon. Luckily the University also has some clubs for us widows to join to meet and support each other. Also Mr. L and his friend trade days playing at each other's houses so mommy and her friend get breaks also! It's quite nice only having 1 child at home!
