Moving, fun, pain and more!

So it's been a really eventful month for us. We have successfully gotten out of our apartment lease and have moved into a new house (new to us). We are renting it and got a stellar deal in a great neighborhood. We have four bedrooms (one extra for guests - come see us!) and the square footage is almost double to our apartment. We needed it. It has a garage for all of Lyndon's guy stuff and just tons of storage room for all the crap we can't seem to part with.

We are really settling into Olympia nicely and love the community here.


Yesterday we left mid-morning as we had a date with Thomas the Train! For those who don't know, he's a cartoon character that our kids just love - especially Isaac. We got tickets for a ride on Thomas and it was pretty much set up for a day of fun. We had a great time although it was so hot - but the kids did awesome!

Last night Lyndon and I took advantage of the babysitting and went on a date. Had a fantastic dinner at The Loft in Downtown Edmonds (a bit spendy but worth it) and then went to see The Proposal. Great date night movie!

This morning WAS going great - I say WAS because poor Isaac had so much energy and he was running around, came into see my mom and I and took a face plant into the corner of their desk. Immediately we could tell from the sound that it was serious. Not just a bump - but a gash. It was awful. Lyndon and I were in the car on our way to the ER in 5 minutes. They saw him immediately and luckily he didn't need stitches - just some glue. He was really a rock star and it helped that I had my camera with me with all the pics of Thomas from the day before - those made him happy. So mom and I had to cancel our planned facials but it was OK. We spent a nice afternoon with the kids, made a great halibut meal and got home just in time for bed - at least for the kids.

I am so thankful for the life we are currently leading. Lyndon has a job, I have a job, we're happy with where we live, we get to see our family almost every weekend somehow someway and we have wonderful, happy children who are the apples of our eyes.

Cheers!
