Welcome Home

Alright, back on the blogging horse! I do realize that it has been quite a while since our last update but we have had a busy last few weeks. First, school ended and we moved to beautiful (and I’m not being sarcastic here) Gardnerville, NV. We’re renting a cute little house with a big backyard. The backyard is more dirt (or mud) than grass but it has a play set, lots of room for Olivia and Henry to run and Tyler planted a small vegetable garden (we’re about to harvest our first tomatoes, yeah!).
We stayed with boxes and furniture-not-yet-put-together everywhere for a long time. I am proud to announce that the furniture is now put together but sad to admit I am still working on some of the boxes. It might take a while. A few weeks back I decided that I would not stress about getting the house perfectly together but go with the flow; we’ve been up to the lake quite a few times, to the pool (for swimming lessons or just for fun), to the many parks of the area and even to the zoo in Sacramento. I’ll blog about all that later and the boxes will most likely have to wait until later as well.
The putting-the-furniture-together allowed Henry to have his first ER trip and his first stitches. That was quite an experience; Henry was screaming because he didn’t want stitches and Olivia was in hysterics because there was so much blood. It was a great evening, although I wouldn’t recommend it to the faint of heart.
Well, we’re home and we’re enjoying the summer, or at least trying to survive it in one piece!
