We have now been here for 2 and a half weeks. During that time we have done a lot dealing with getting things from the move worked out. Not by choice, we picked the coldest day here in Austin to unload our truck to put out stuff into storage. Seriously, it was cold. Not as bad as Utah--and we didn't have snow--but it was still cold. Plus it took us 6 hours because it was just the two of us. We started around 10am and finished around 4pm. We rented a Home Depot truck so we could unload the trailer--which had been deposited some distance from our storage unit so as to not block other units. So we would load the truck, then drive to our unit and unload it. It took some figuring once we got the stuff there. What did we want accessible and what needed to be on the bottom, etc. We did pretty well at doing that--but we still think of things that we might need for Spain that is behind a lot of stuff. Oh well, looks like we'll just have to rearrange things when that time comes.
Isn't it amazing that our stuff fit into a 10x15 space?!
So besides doing all those "serious" things, we've also been having fun. Here are some things we have been up to lately:
Cheese mustaches!
Drawing!
(That's Paul, me and Glenn, if you couldn't tell.)
Playing with toys!
Playing games!
Seriously! We have played so many games with Glenn lately! He loves Candyland, Chutes & Ladders, War, Crazy 8's, Rock Paper Scissors, "I Can Do That!" and we recently taught him Sorry. He has really enjoyed playing any time--he even will play by himself or keep track of a couple different pawns for Sunny or Kitty. I'll find him playing by himself all the time if we are doing other things.
Going on "Jake Walks"!
Adventures around the hotel!
Enjoying Nature!
Glenn and I usually go for a Jake Walk or bike ride around the hotel each day. One day while playing with the rocks and dirt and such Glenn said to me, "Mom I love sticks!"
Yep, he's a boy! : D
We also made cute little stick guys the other day.
This was mine.
And this was Glenn's.
I like the mustache and his crazy hair!
