We are finally in our new house. It seems like so long ago that we moved out of our condo. We stayed in our friend's townhouse for about a month while they were doing work on our house and then moved in on July 3rd, just in time for the Fourth of July parade that goes in front of our new house each year. We have had our share of new home issues - leaking bathroom, paint issues, sump pump malfunction (just in time for the "100 Year Storm") and a host of other mishaps. But overall we really like our home and our new neighborhood.
The kids are still transitioning to their new surroundings. They both seem to really love the backyard and their playroom (up until it was flooded by the huge rain storm). Kian also seems to like the fact that he has his own room. Kerala is really excited about preschool - she has visited her preschool a couple of times and talks about it a lot. I think she is going to do really well and will love being with a ton of kids everyday. She is still a social butterfly and has been really good about introducing herself to people. Unfortunately, she hasn't quite figured out age differences and the other day she went up to a group of 15 year olds at the park and said "Hi, I am Kerala. Would you like to come over for a playdate?"
This is a short update because I am int he process of packing - we head off for a week beach vacation tomorrow. The kids and I are leaving tomorrow and Troy will be following Tuesday/Wednesday. Everyone is very excited about the time away, particularly Kerala who cannot stop talking about the beach, going into the water and having ice cream with her buddy Todd.
