A New Home

As the hot dog said to the bun let's ketchup. We are now Coloradans(?). We are renting a town home about 20 minutes from Denver. We lived with J's parents for a few months and it was so nice of them to take us in until we could get settled. Our home in Utah should close in the next month or so. When it does, a gargantuan weight will be lifted from our shoulders. I think that my posture will literally and most definitely improve.
R loves being in school and is reading and writing like a champ. She was taking the bus while at her grandparents and that was her favorite part of school. Now I drive her and she is pretty disappointed, but at least we can still take her to the same school because it is only a ten minute drive from our new place. I will probably wait to switch schools until she starts first grade. We have a school a stone's throw from our front door and it beckons to me. L is as silly as ever and loves to pretend to be Spiderman and Batman and save the world. J likes his new job, he just needs to get used to commuting for 25 minutes to an hour (during traffic) instead of 5 minutes. I am getting the hang of living in a new place. I rarely get lost anymore and have found lots of great places to take the kids to play.
We are looking forward to Christmas and have already decorated. I usually make it a rule to wait until December, but it has somehow made my life less stressful to have a holiday atmosphere in the house.
I will follow up with some posts full of pictures and anecdotes when I have some more spare time. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the upcoming Holiday season.
