Settling

Over the weekend we were able to unpack all the boxes upstairs which had the things we "need" to have a pretty normal day to day life. It feels so nice and we are finally starting to really settle into our home. The kids are enjoying their new rooms and we're getting ready to personalize them with removable wall stickers like princesses, cars and glow-in-the-dark stars for the ceilings. They are really excited to help me with this.

Michael is now in his big boy toddler bed. We waited for this until we were in our home and he's been really excited to be a big boy. It's taken a little while, but he is getting used to going to bed and staying there even though he has the freedom to get out of bed now whenever he want. We're also trying to wean him from his sippy cup which has proved to be a daunting task. He still gets one to go to bed with, but letting that go will come later. He's also getting ready to potty train and loves to be a big boy in this way too. I have a feeling he's going to be easier to potty train then Karen was. She took 2 years to potty train.

Karen is also adjusting pretty well. She's really excited that we've found a preschool for her to go to. We found out about an opening in this preschool by a neighbor in our ward and we were able to get in. I wasn't sure that we were going to be able to get Karen into a preschool because it's in the middle of the year, but we were very lucky to find a school with an opening. She'll be starting next week and she's really excited, although both kids are really excited just to have toys in their rooms.

We've had a couple of our family stop by to see our home and we've even had the elder's quorum stop by to greet us. It's fun to have people stop by and we'd love to see all of our friends and family come by when they have time. You are all wecome whenever you'd like. We will have a house warming party that will be like an open house in a couple of weeks, but feel free to come by sooner if you'd like.
