We are settled in even more than we were, and I am starting to figure out my surroundings. The kids and I drove around for a couple hours yesterday and found all the necessities...Trader Joes, etc. :) We also found our "new" KPW. The city has an indoor playground called Lookout Ridge. It is in the same building as the library and the YMCA, down in the city buildings like city hall and the police station, etc. Everything here is REALLY nice since it was all built in the last 10 years or so. Even the grocery store has an Aveda spa, a Starbucks, and a specialty wine shop IN it! Yes, a spa in the grocery store!!! My trips buying groceries might start requiring HOURS!!
For those of you who haven't heard, we also found the hospital at about 3am on Thursday morning. About a half a block up the street, we have a really nice park for the kids. Jonah took all 3 dogs and the kids there Wednesday evening as I was cleaning up from our corned beef and cabbage dinner, which my dad so nicely walked me thru cooking! They returned home an hour later---Logan crying. Jonah and I both being of the less is more mindset got him settled down and asleep...He woke up at about 3am crying and wouldn't move his arm, so I ended up taking him into the ER. He had dislocated his elbow. X-rays and all...for a kids who has never been to the doctor for being sick even, he was quite the trooper. His elbow is now fine, and he is slowly regaining usage of his left hand, which is either sprained or has a mild break. If he isn't better Monday, we are going to the orthopedics. He does keep assuring me almost hourly that it is getting "much better."
In the ER, they put him in a sling before we left. The tech had barely closed the door before he ripped it off and told me he was "not wearing this." His thoughts about his sling haven't changed.
Isabella has tried it on. Actually, she really liked it, but it pulled her hair once, and the relationship was over. So now we just have an unused sling in size XXS sitting on the counter that I am sure we will get a huge bill for!
Belli woke up this morning, as she does most mornings, all smiles. I crawled in with her and took a couple pictures.
She is really excited because the baby's room is unpacked and his clothes are all being washed. The baby bath sling is sitting by the tub--she knows it is getting closer FINALLY! I was thinking about how funny it will be to drive away from the house in 2 weeks with an empty car seat and return a month later with a FULL one!---Actually 3 full car seats, but who is counting.
Belli and Logan also asked to go to Grandma and Grandpa Sanye's house the other day. Imagine how excited they were when I told them we were going there for Easter. Some how, they remember the egg hunt and cannot wait for another big hunt. With any luck, Henry will also be joining in this venture with us--on the outside. With Easter being so late this year, it would be a great day to have him in the front carrier and be outside. It would not be such a great year to still be pregnant and HUGE! :)
Jonah and the kids are enjoying each others company on a daily basis. Last night they all played in the BIG tub together, and then we all watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and had popcorn. Great choice of movies for Spring!
Below is the front of the house and then one of the backyard. You can see the walking trail to the right of the backyard. That connects to the grade school which is about a block away. They were taken this morning, so it is a little foggy! Weather is supposed to be in the 50s all weekend though!
