We have felt like we have been through a tornader! Packing up one house and moving into another in six weeks, thank you so much to our friends and family who helped us move and continue to help us move in new furniture. Presley loves her new home. We introduced her slowly, having her come with us when we would bring boxes over and she would race around in her walker in the sun room. My mom watched her while we moved and brought her back that afternoon to check out her new "crib." This is her in her room on her first day in the house. She loves all the space to run, having a toy room with a drawing table and a toy chest that she can easily pick what she is looking for.
Presley and I have spent many of our days going to story time at the Brentwood library (really close to the house) and visiting many of their afternoon programs. Here we are at Toucan Jam Band. This group was fantastic, telling many fables and folktales. All the while introducing the kids to different parts of the world, their music, and instruments
. Presley was so intrigued and loved every minute of their performance.
We have also had several play dates with swimming partners. Presley loves swimming and has no fear of the water. She thinks it is tons of fun to go under and had blowing bubbles mastered in an afternoon. We are currently working on "open and close" with her arms to get her used to moving her arms and legs in sequence. I know she will not be swimming this summer, but there is hope that next summer she will take to the water with a pair of water wings.
Birthday invitations are piling up in our mailbox like Q&A letters to Heloise. That is okay, Presley and I enjoy any excuse to have our cake and eat it too.
For Father's Day we spent the evening at Todd's brother's house and we brought dessert with Todd's new ice cream maker. It is so cool that his birthday and Father's Day are about a week apart, he always gets good gifts and we reap the benefits from them. Presley was excited about the ice cream maker and enjoyed eating it just as much. I told Todd that this machine with bring us together for more happy occasions over the next 20 years than we could ever imagine
I hope not to wait so long before the next post, but we might get busy having a good time!
