Settling In....

We're settling in to life at the new place. Carter's loving it and Isla's babbling like a swift flowing brook over a small waterfall.

Susan gave Carter two huge pillows with trains on them and Carter immediately drug them out into the center of the house so he could "sleep" on them. He pushed them together and made a comfy bed (until they slid apart from each other.... he wasn't very pleased with that.

Susan and I got out for an adult weekend at an old coworker of Susan's wedding in wine country (Sonoma). The wedding was a blast and we had a great time letting loose and not having to worry about rushing home to relieve the babysitter. The nicest part of the whole weekend was sleeping in until 9:00 on Sunday! .I didn't realize that at some point in my life that sleeping in would be the highlight of my day

I know... I know... It's been a long time.

Yes, I know that I have fallen off on my posting... I have lots of excuses:

1. The house we were renting was in foreclosure and we had to find a new house.
2. We moved at the end of August (THANKS BOPPA, JOHN, AND JOSH)
3. I started a new teaching job teaching High Schoolers both AP Environmental Science (the motivated smart kids) and Earth Science (the not-so-motivated, I hate school kind of kids).
4. Susan started working three days a week again from home.

Well now that doesn't sound like that many excuses...

I'll stop hiding behind my excuses and I'll just start getting some posts up.
