2 weeks in...

We are now 2 weeks into our new house. We have been super busy trying tomget everything set up and what not. 

How are we doing...? Great. I think Charlie had about 3 days of crappy behavior before he started shaping up again. He loves the next door neighbor kids who are going to be in 4th grade, 3rd grade and Kindergarten next year. He continually asks where is Kendall, Jocelyn, and Cora. Pretty cute. Today the kids did slip and slide down the big hill between our yards. The older kids are very friendly and considerate to the 3 year old. Charlie also loves the new library. It has a castle inside of it! Pretty cool! He also loves going to Target! Ha! 

We 'think' we have found a new church. I am all about music, obviously, so we checked out this Lutheran Church about 5-10 mins away. The music was AWESOME. And it so happens that the neighbor on the other side of us is the pastor there. Charlie and I have gone twice and Charlie is enthralled. The preaching is great as well. It has a great mixture of similar traditions of a mass as the Catholic church without all the stuff I despise of the Catholic Church. I feel there is no pomp and circumstance, just good worship. And they have a sunday school program for 3 year olds in the fall. And they have a nursery for Carrie. And I got a compliment from a random parishioner today who said "you have the most well behaved kid we have ever seen in church!" Well, I guess you can thank the Catholic Church or that...he learned how to shut up during the whole hour even when it was super boring. This is not boring for him. And they do a childrens message. So many things going right! 

This weekend we had some of my old friends from college over. That was a blast to see everyone and today we took a random ride to show Charlie and CArrie the capitol. There was a Criterion bike race going on so we got to see that as well. We were able to sneak all this in between naps! cool, huh?

Adam has started biking again. All he can really say is holy shit hilly! Yup, everywhere south or southwest  or west is constant hills. And big ass hills to boot. He is trying to get out 2-3 mornings a week. Charlie has started saying "biker up" everytime he sees a biker. On a nice day, you can sit on our front porch and watch over 100 bikers (cyclists) go by. So cool. Seeing other people working out is a constant motivation for us...this is good! I plan to get out on mine as well, we just have to go separately  cause of the kids!!!!

We are thriving and doing well and the best part is daddy is home everyday by 4:35 at the latest. He even bikes to and from work...as do many others!
