1st Weekend

14 Months, Week 1

We considered this our first real weekend at the new house. Moving weekend doesn’t count and last weekend we were away. So it has been awesome really hunkering down.

I had a pretty intense week at work; put on a new team with a really big, really fast project - to the point we were planning on all coming in Saturday for a full work day. Thankfully we all decided to divide and conquer on Friday which worked and I was incredibly thankful I didn’t have to go in yesterday. 

We had an awesome Saturday - despite making peeps and a few hollers, we didn’t get Nora out of her crib until 7am and she was awake but being quiet and chill which was great. We hit IKEA for some bar stools and a little table set for Nora. Target and groceries. During Nora’s nap, Tim and I organized the garage to a decent degree. Just this cleanup felt like a great accomplishment. 

Tim met an older neighbor from 2 doors down. She was extremely sweet and gave Tim both her neighbors and said to ask for anything. She told Tim the Noons [previous owners] didn’t maintain the landscaping very well - no pressure, right? She also graduated from DAAP fashion design back in the 70s - ! 

At 3:30 after Nora’s nap, we went to return the cookie plate to the neighbors across the street. Mom Michelle told us to keep the plate - it was for us! Her daughter Lauren will be going into high school next year. The two younger boys might be in middle school? She’s also a grandma to a 2-yr old - not sure where that older daughter fits in. Husband Chris wasn’t there. She said we’d have to grill out when the weather turns warmer. Seems very nice. 

William, Emma & Evelyn came to visit as well to see the new digs, then it was dinner time and bathtime. 

Saturday evening Tim and I assembled Nora’s table, the two bar stools and hung most of the first floor artwork. 

A good, comfortable day in the new house!

Saturday sweetness!

I see Dada and Doggie!

Again, playing on IKEA boxes is way more fun than my own toys.
