Settling In

It is always fun for me to see a house become a home.  Most of the boxes are unpacked.  Some pictures have been hung.  We are starting to remember where we put things.  There is still lots to do but its getting there.  So we have been able to take some breaks and enjoy Sarah a little more instead of putting her to work all the time.

First we had a visit from Uncle Stephen with his two dogs and an extra one that he was taking care of. That added a little excitement to a house of boxes but it sure was fun to have our boy close enough to come for a visit.  

Then of course there are forts to make while I try to clean up.  Someone has to work at messing up.

And with the weather being so hot you just have to take time for the pool.

We have been to many parks, including the splash park.  Yesterday we went to a parade to celebrate the flag.  A party followed at the park where Sarah bounced in the bouncy toys long enough to need an afternoon sleep.  

Yes, I would say we are getting settled.  Our neighbours have all introduced themselves.  We have had a phone call from an old friend that only lives one hour from us and a visit from friends from Ontario.  Our summer continues to look busy and I am excited.  Sarah always asks grandpa when he gets home from work, "are you still learning the routine?"  Well, I guess we are all learning the routine which means we are getting settled into our new life.
