Finally!!!

We have FINALLY re-joined the rest of the world and gotten our internet hooked up! I can't tell you how long these last three weeks have been without email and blogging at my fingertips.

Anyway, we are getting settled and enjoying the nice, 70 degree weather that So Cal has to offer in December. Life is good! We are almost completely unpacked, although there are a few boxes and piles of "stuff" that I haven't figured out where to put yet. But I'm getting there....

Here is a picture of our new house.


It's pretty nice. Nicest thing about it is the location, tho. So close to everything, I can walk wherever I need to go. And did I mention the preschool is literally a block away? The same preschool that Aiden will be attending come January? Saying that I can't wait is an understatement...I love my little boy but WOW does he have some energy to expend!

Speaking of my boys, Aiden is talking a lot more and getting funnier everyday. He'll be three next month, if you can believe that! I can't. Jack is growing like a little weed. He's cruising the furniture one-handed now, he's only 8 months. Well, 8 months on Sunday. He has the world's biggest smile and is still just as happy as can be. He and Aiden play together really well most of the time, until Aiden gets a little too rough, and then someone ends up crying....It's not always Jack, either.

Here's a funny story for you. The other day I was sweeping in the kitchen and Chris comes in, tells me to drop whatever I'm doing and take a look at my sons. I had a sudden sense of foreboding....Sure enough, those feelings were justified. The two of them were in the downstairs bathroom, playing in the toilet. Jack had his hands in the bowl, splashing and yelling and then Aiden would flush the toilet and they both cracked up laughing. Nothing is more fascinating to little boys than a flushing toilet. Why, I have no idea. I just thank God it was clean. My Mom got a good laugh out of that one. Silly boys.

Tomorrow we are going to try to put up our Christmas tree. We'll see how that goes....:-)

Welcome back. I'm gald to see ur enjoying cali I miss it. I could walk key to the preschool it was amazing. Ms sun is the best teacher at the pre school. She has the kids writting, some reading , and I think the only teacher that does homework there. I really regret that mine didn't get in that room. Have u all made any travel plans yet? Check out sea world b4 the end of the year and its free. Also, they r a airforce base u can stay at mega cheap there. Is the wind bad yet? When I first got there it would scare the crap out of me at night.
