home sweet home

Well, it has been awhile. I get further behind with updating this blog, and then wonder what to put on it. Here are a few tidbits of the last few weeks.

We got our new house. Moving went really well, and we had awesome help to get the job done. Emma was a champ. When we moved in August it really seemed to take her a few weeks to get used to the new house. This time, however, she was really excited from the get go. I picked her up from her friend's house and brought her to the new house. She ran into her purple room, where all of her things had been moved to, and then proceeded to run into Owen's blue room, our red room, and ran around the kitchen. She has not missed a beat. Owen has adjusted well also. We are extremely happy, and are getting more and more things unpacked and put away. One of my favorite perks of our new abode is the fenced backyard. Emma can open the door to the backyard and go out by herself. She has been delighted to go pick dandilions and drive her mower on the deck. It's great.

We also got a cat. Emma and Owen both love her, and she kind of loves them back. She is a very patient and loving 5 month old gray kitty we adopted from the pound. I think her name is Ally, but she has a few different names right now. The others are "meow" and "kitty". So we'll see who she really becomes.
