Maybe we need a new pet?

I had a good 2 hour convo with my twin yesterday, and Grace found a way to entertain herself...



Me: "Gracie, what are you doing and why are you naked?"
Grace: "I'm walking my new puppy!"
Me: "..."
Grace: "heeheehee :)"

Settling In

A week after moving and we are nearly unpacked and have most everything here! There are still a few boxes, the big bouncy horse (from Mom and Dad M.), the grill, and a some more kitchen appliances at the old house, but we are not worried about it. We have until the 17th, so we are not trying to kill ourselves getting everything done at once. As soon as I find the camera and camera cords, I will take pictures!

To answer Rachel's question, yes our application was approved for the apartment we wanted! We've been able to fit everything very nicely here, which I'll admit, I was a little worried about, since it is an apartment after all. But there are many big closets and a nice storage shed right outside that is all ours :)

Grace is loving her "pink room" and the way cool pink lamp that Aunt Kellie took her shopping for. Zane also got to pick out a super cool sports lamp, that he and his daddy adore! Aunt Kellie, you think you could come over again and help me arrange my china cabinet? I'm pretty good at arranging furniture and things, but when it comes to china and knick knacks, I'm useless!

I really like the kitchen, even though it is a quarter the size of our old one. There is still much counter space, lots of cupboards, and a good sized pantry closet. We can't hear our neighbors at all, and the little old lady downstairs says all she hears are the kids running around, which she assures me is refreshing as she raised 5 of her own, and now has 14 grandchildren and another due any day!

It is very nice to live in a family centered community :)
