Settling In

Things are starting to feel a bit more normal around here as I make my way around the new house and town. Our new carpet has been installed and the furniture was delievered the other day. It's been fun decorating and setting everything up. Now the visitors can arrive!

We have already had a neighborhood friend over to play and the boys are learning that the playroom is a great place to spend their time.

Today was our second meet up with a local Moms club group. I was excited yet nervous all at the same time. I could see from the evite that there would be about 25 people attending. Driving there I felt like a kid on the first day of school. So.very.nervous. But within 2 minutes I knew that I would fit in and felt welcome. There were a ton of kids at this girls' home (thank god she had a huge house) and I immediately lost Tyler as he ran outside to jump with the older kids on the trampoline. One thing I love about that kid is that he is not shy. He will run right up to any kid and start playing with them. I hope that doesn't change. Maybe he will make a good HR Director someday. I met several moms who are California transplants and it was comforting to know that they love this area. It was also nice to get advice about local shops, restaurants, inside scoop on schools, what pediatricians to see (or avoid). I look forward to attending more functions with this group of ladies.
