"These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things..."

We shared a great family day today!

James was off work and I was certain we would be steadfast and headstrong unpacking boxes, organizing our belongings. Rather, we lounged and played and made invisible the boxes that surrounded us! :) I even took an hour nap while both Little Man and Chloe-Chloe were sleeping. (a fifteen minute power nap turned one hour nap- the first eight minutes I remember thinking, "I have this and this and this to get done.....but, this feels so good..."

Joseph's speech therapist, Kim, came toting her goodie bags this morning and offered us encouragement about Joseph's progress. Joseph's sign knowledge has increased and he's vocalizing more sounds than during his last appointment. Kim is such a creative, fun, and thoughtful person. A great match suggested and paired with us from Courtney. Recently, Kim's company had decided to end it's in-home health care program. We're keeping our fingers crossed that she will continue in her field. We love her and she's great at interacting with little tots and their parents.

After naps and lunches, we took a stroll to Mid-City Mall to check out a nearly new shop. Closed. We walked around a few streets near our place, then made our way to Tyler Park ( I love the bridge! and the sloping hills to the park--great for sleigh rides!), where Joseph played and James pushed him on the swings. Chloe-Chloe even took a ride in a toddler swing and absolutely loved it. Gummy grins and giggles. Joseph thought it was too cool to get to swing next to his sister.

Another beautiful day "finding happiness in the Highlands" <-- the street banners on Bardstown Road have this slogan on them Oh, and I found out a duet group The Watson Twins, which I saw on Jay Leno a few nights ago, is from Louisville. Louisville = full of surprises

We Are In Our New Nest- Still Unpacking!

To all our faithful followers: it's official- we've moved! We're now Highlanders--and I'm lovin' it. Every morning I have opened the main door & let the morning air in through the screen door.

This post will have to be picture less of our picturesque little carriage house and yard. I wish I had my camera handy; however, it's still M.I.A. It was one of the last items packed, but must've gotten put in an unlabeled box. Oopsie!

I went to the kitchen to make myself a salad (with sunflower seeds- love 'em!) before starting this post and then heard the chattiest and noisiest squirrel. I thought it was a bird call that was unfamiliar. Mr. Squirrel was sounding his alarm over something. I shared a few of my sunflower seeds with him in case he was hungry.

We're still up to our ears in boxes, but we're slowly unpacking. I'm also cleaning and wiping down surfaces, when I'm not tending to Joseph & Chloe.

Would you like to see some pictures of our new place?
