The Kids

Nutmeg is adjusting fairly well. She hides a lot but she likes to explore too. We worry that she's not getting enough to eat but she knows where the food is and she'll eat when she's hungry enough. She and Kenny are still getting along great!


Enjoy the pics and video.

Life

Last night we went to the Octorara High School Relay for Life. Amy's Mom and Pop-pop are cancer survivors. We really enjoy going every year. It's a great time to reflect on everything we are thankful for and to get inspired with hope and faith. Good times!


This morning we brought Nutmeg home. She is doing fairly well. She is painfully shy so she's been hiding under various beds all day. The good news is that she and Kenny have hiden under the same bad already - at the same time! Kenny didn't even notice Nutmeg was in the room when we first introduced them. So far so good.

Moving Day

Well, moving day has come and gone and we are now living in our new house! Yesterday could not have gone more smoothly. We had 5 friends plus Amy's Mom, Dad and Pop-pop here to help us. Peter picked up the truck around 9 am and by 11 am we were completely moved in to the new house!

We're obviously still unpacking but it is starting to feel like home. Amy made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, carrots and brownies - and LOVES the new kitchen. Peter loves the cooking so it's a win-win.

Kenny is settling in too. He has been very vocal but as we type he's just chilling on the living room floor. Can't wait to get everything put away!

And... more painting!

Here's the rest of it!

We are now finished all the painting we plan to do "pre-move". We plan to paint the guest bath and 3rd bedroom sometime after we move. We're also hoping to find someone to paint our hallways and stairwell for us... eventually.

Tonight we ran over 2 loads (both cars) of stuff. The living room is slowly emptying out at the apartment, as is the kitchen. Tomorrow we hope to move the washer and dryer. Unfortunately tonight it rained so we thought it best to wait.

We've met our neighbors on either side now and both seem very lovely. One set of neighbors has twin toddler girls and the other side has a tiny dog named Pedro. Both should be lots of fun.

Only 4 days till the big move!
