It's been 9 days since we stepped foot into our new home here in Denver! I've been really bad at taking pictures, but thought I should still give an update on how we're adjusting. Connor and Abby are loving it here. The first day I took Connor on a bike ride around the neighborhood and he said, "Mom, is it summer here?" Seriously we haven't seen grass in so long and I kept telling him all winter he can't ride his bike until summer comes. Smart kid. We've loved being able to get outside again (without heavy coats!) We've already checked out our local library and the kids can't wait to go to story time again. Here there are story times 4 days during the week and at 3 different times...it's great! We've got our passes to the rec centers and Connor loved the day care area as well as the kiddie pool! On Saturday we drove downtown to Mac's office and Connor and him got to ride the train back home while Abby and I drove to the train station to pick them up. Connor keeps asking to ride the train again...I think we'll ride down one of these days and meet Mac for lunch or something!
Connor is really into his letters and most of our car rides go like this:
Connor: "Mom, what does tree start with?"..."what does car start with?" etc.
He's getting really good at it and can figure out a lot of words on his own.
Abigail's favorite book is "The Very Busy Spider" and will bring it to me at least 10 times a day. She loves hearing the animal sounds and I know she's going to start repeating them back to me very soon.
Mac is doing well at work, it's always an adjustment doing something new. He's smart though and I know he'll do well. On Sunday we were invited for dinner by a family in the ward, which was great to start to get to know people. I was pretty excited to be invited to a card exchange party/dinner last week. It was a great opportunity to meet some really fun ladies and have a girls' night out! We're comfortable in our rental home, but very EXCITED to start looking for our permanent home. This week the kids have been fighting really bad colds, so I am ready for them to feel better so we can get out of this house and enjoy our beautiful surroundings!
