Ch-ch-ch-changes…
Changes! That’s what we’ve had this year, and as luck wold have it, they’ve all been for the better. We’re in the new home now – email me for the address if you don’t have it yet – and we’re doing about as great as could be. Everyone’s healthy, there is new life here (more in a moment) and we even have new toys! It’s been a while since I’ve posted so here’s the scoop:
- After looking at something like 50 choices, we picked a new home here in CO a few weeks ago and we moved in last weekend. We’re still surrounded by boxes and can’t find that little grey thing, you know? The one that goes into the other grey thing, and then you use it? Dang. Anyway, the move went fine – we had a clear day without new snow for the movers to work – and this house is huge. It’s going to take a while for us to fill it up with stuff, I think. Pictures are forthcoming, like maybe after the holiday.
- The kids are well and happy. The girl just loves running around in the new basement, playing with her brother’s toys, harassing the dgos, etc. The boy was allowed to get a pet hamster the other day. He named him Super Sean Flyboy. (Don’t ask me; I don’t know) The hamster is a White Russian Dwar and is very cute, for a rodent. We had a bit of a scare yesterday when he got out of his cage and then got a little traumatized when we put him back in but all is well now.
- We have been furniture shopping – two couches and a computer desk so far – and we finally broke down and bought one of those big flat TVs. I opted for a plasma from Panasonic, if you care, because I thought that sounded more Star Wars than “LCD”. We’ll see. It should be here before Xmas.
- We’re already missing our families and it’s not even Xmas yet.
Thanks for all of the boxes we’ve received in the mail. We love you all!
Take care out there. Be good to each other. We’ll keep the porch light on in case you wish to visit.
