Getting Settled

Everyone keeps asking if we're getting settled in. While there are so many UNsettling things in our lives right now (which home will eventually be ours? when will our house sell in KC? will we rent?) we actually ARE getting settled in quite nicely at Granny and Grandad's. I am so grateful that leaving our home in Kansas City meant moving into a well-known and well-loved home for our kids and for us at my parents. So far, we haven't had too many big issues. Here's what we've been up to.

Natalie's new bed at the foot of Granny and Grandad's bed. "Now I can just climb right up into your bed in the morning, Granny." Granny is happy to have Nattie by her side. Natalie is happy to be in a cozy new bed that's just her size. And Mommy and Daddy are happy to get to sleep in at the other end of the house for a few weeks!

Playing at the beach. It's still a little chilly to actually go all out at the beach, but it's still fun just to be out in the sunshine! That's our kite behind Nat.

Exploring with Grandad in the backyard.

Helping to clean is always fun for toddlers.

Natalie enjoys Granny's homemade strawberry jam. Mommy enjoys that Granny makes breakfast!

I just thought Sutton's shoes looked extra southern. Gotta love seeing those little legs in shorts for the first time in a while. Last time he wore shorts he wasn't even walking yet!

Walking the Loop at the beach.

Love that dirty face. It's proof of a day spent almost completely outdoors.

Even warm enough to eat outside on the screened in porch! Love it.

I certainly can't say we're completely settled, but we're enjoying this time nonetheless.
