Getting back into the swing of things
We have now been in our house for a little over 3 weeks and things are getting there, slowly but surely. The big stuff is done and now it is time to find homes for all of the little stuff... even if the stuff's new "home" is the trash can. We really have been hauling and saving a bunch of stuff that we haven't looked at for over two years, so we are working on being very diligent on getting rid of stuff. Since we have been here we have also been acquiring new stuff (kinda like the circle of life, right?) - a microwave (the one that came with the house is one that is tiny, has very little power, and is so old it doesn't even have a turntable), some area rugs, and mostly things to help organize the house (racks, bins, etc).
This afternoon I gave Rachel her second haircut. We'll have to see whether it needs touching up after I wash it. The hair that is at the top of her head (the crown area) is still the same type of hair she was born with - dark and straight - while the stuff underneath it, down around the nape of her neck, is the "newer" stuff lighter and curlier. So, I kind of gave her a layered cut, so the under stuff can catch up with the top stuff. The top stuff seems to grow faster, but it could have just been how I cut it the first time, we'll have to see. Archie's next, but I think we'll just stick with the same cut for him :-P
We were going to go and find the local dog park today, but the weather was a little overcast on top of the rather cold temperatures (low 20's) and a bit of snow, so I think we lost our motivation on that one. We'll have to make up for it by taking Millie for walks around the neighborhood this week. It will be good for all of us (Millie included) to be up and moving around. I think I am going to go around to some of the local 'gym' type places soon to see what they have to offer. I saw a Gymboree place not very far away, but according to their website, they charge $65 a month, and you only get one class a week for that price. Seems pretty high to me. So, we'll look at the Y and such as I know they have swimming for babies and maybe one or two other programs, as well as stuff for mom and dad :)
Well, that's all I've got for now. My computer kind of crapped out before we moved, so I am way behind on my pictures and stuff, so I apologize for not staying up to date on that. I did just get a good headstart on getting our office set up and organized, so I will be able to use Archie's in the meantime (til we figure out what we're going to do about mine).
