Sitting in Pete's very empty bare room today:
Me: "What do you want to do in your room Pete? Moons, BuzzWoody, trains?"
Pete: "Penguins."
Me: "Penguins? Really?"
Pete: "I like penguins mom."
Me: "Ok. And what color do you want in here?"
Pete: "Yellow."
Me: "Hmmmm."

Playtime
We play, a lot. Outside, library, mall, inside.... We play all day. Sometimes I get tired of playing. The kids never do.
Playing in our front cul-de-sac.
Mall. Happened upon a mall today, and then happened upon the kids area at the mall. Happened upon a lot of fun.

Reading With Dad
We got away from reading to the kids in all the hustle and bustle of moving but are back in the groove. We found a library and last night got a bunch of great books for the kids. I think we have read all 15 of them at least 4 times each since about 7pm last night. And the other night the kids ate popcorn and listened to a few of their favorite books on our family room floor. It was a sweet sight to see.

Settling In
We have found parks, we have found the grocery store, Walmart and the Sprouts, we have found the library and we have found our church. We have used the hot tub a couple of times, we have been to In-N-Out a couple times and we have gotten lost around town more than a couple of times. We have met more neighbors, unpacked more boxes, and used the oven for the first time last night. I have been to garage sales and P. has his public transportation and work schedule figured out.
All is good.
Pictures:
Our church has a big open space in the middle of it for kids to play. They have lots of fun toys to use and there are tons of kids out there before, in between and after services running around having a blast. Our kids ran around and had a blast. They loved their sunday school classes and we ate dinner in the church's cafeteria with friends. It was a great night.
Today we found the library and were there just in time to catch Baby Story Time. Jamie loved it, Pete was bored out of his mind. Well, it was for babies up to 18 months so I can't blame him. Next time we will go to Toddler Time for him. See my curly haired little girl watching intently in the front row?
Then she moved to the back row.
All is good.

In-N-Out
Friday night at the local In-N-Out. It was so yummy. Shopping spree at Bed Bath Beyond after. Fun times.
An After-Nap Photo Shoot
Cause they were just so cute together. Sitting, drinking milk, laughing, being silly together.....
While sitting with both kids on the lazy boy rocker they asked for milk. Pete says, "Here, I will hold Jamie for you while you go get it for us."
After drinking some milk Pete had milk on his lips. Jamie wiped it off for him.
Three pictures in a row where they were doing the same thing....
Silly together....
My little sweeties.

Recent Pictures
Besides my dad the first night, we had our first dinner guests over last night. Uncle Bob and Aunt Edna ate with us, helped P. with a few projects and we went on a walk. The kids were drawn to Aunt Edna.
Last night in the hot tub.
Kids new bathtub.
Watching movies with dad before bed. No TV yet so making use of a portable DVD player. And yes, those are Jamie's Dora pajamas on Pete.
Lot's of room for his train tracks.
Shopping for furniture. He liked this bed.
Waiting at the DMV for driver's licenses and car registrations.
At the park this morning.
Picture of me that Pete took.

AZ
Saturday was our first day and night in our new home. The house is perfect. More than we ever thought we would have. The kids love it. We love it. And today it is actually starting to look like a home. Our stuff is finding it's place and we are finding our place along with it.
First I will talk about the weather. It's perfect. In the 70's and sunny every day. Today I couldn't find a cloud in the bright blue sky. Every day I eat breakfast at our kitchen table and look outside at our sparkling pool and the beautiful weather and say a little prayer of thanks. And I smile. Today we spent all morning outside. Pete roller skated in our backyard, then we walked to the playground, then walked up to the grocery store for a few things. Pete said, "Next time bring some sunglasses for me mom."
Our house is so pretty. We are very blessed. It's comfortable, big and like new. It has everything we need and could want. The kids love it. We are starting to meet some neighbors, meeting some friends after church this Saturday and desperately seeking a good babysitter so we can get out for a date. We get lost around town a lot. If we are not unpacking we are shopping for things we need for the house. We got beautiful new bedroom furniture the other day. I love it and stare at it like it's not real.
We went in the hot tub last night. Jamie kicked and laughed the whole time. Pete cried when we got out. It's something we will enjoy often I am sure.
Well, I have lot to do. So here are a few pictures of our first day and our first morning in our new house.
When we arrived from CA and looked around the house with the kids. They were so excited.
Trying to set up beds.
Putting all our favorite magnets on the fridge.
Checking out the new pool. Can we go swimming now mom?

Merry Christmas
Could there be anything better than seeing your daughter's face in the light of the Christmas tree early on Christmas morning?
