No, I haven't forgotten about my blog!

We are moved!  The new house is great and the location is even better.  10 minutes to school and 15 minutes to the soccer carpool.  Life is good.  We are finally settling into a routine and beginning to relax.  This moved kicked our booty!  All in all it took 16 days to complete everything and return the trailer.  I have informed Rod that we will be in this house until we are clear and can afford a packing crew, moving company and a designer & organizational specialist for the new house.  We will call everyone in and leave for vacation - then when we are home, everything is moved, unpacked and perfectly organized!   

Taylor is plugging along in school.  Quarter grades were so so and she has much room to improve.  It was fun to chat with some of her teachers at a fund raiser this weekend - all are in agreement that she is very, very capable and can do great things.  Now to convince her that it is true :)  Her soccer game this weekend was lost 4-1 and they are all going to get a couple of months off this year from Nov to Feb.  We are all looking forward to that!

Reagan is now going to school 3 days a week instead of 5.  5 days was way too much and was making her a grumpy butt!  And add that on top of her precociousness and it was not pleasant for anyone :)  She is loving her new room and is sleeping better in this house than she did at the purple house.  Knock on wood, she has slept through the night since we moved in!  

Matthew is beginning to eat solids - his favorite is baked sweet potatoes!  He does not like oatmeal at all and spit out every bite!  Avocado and bananas work and I am thinking we are going to try brown rice next.  I am proud to declare that we have not bough any baby food (yet HEE HEE).  All has been cooked or mashed up fresh.  I am sure that won't last too long!  He got his first tooth this week and I suspect he is working on the second already.  He is not too bad when teething - just a little runny nose and a couple of restless nights.  

We had family hot tub time this afternoon.  We are really enjoying going out and having the hot tub.  Here is a video of the kids playing.

Hugs from all of us to you!  Have a great week!
