Moving in, settling in!

Wow, it's been a busy last couple of weeks!!!

Unpacking and settling in has consumed most of my free time lately!  The apartment is near picture-perfect and once I unearth my camera, I'll be taking some pictures to show you around!  It has been a lot of time-consuming and hard work but we are nearly settled in and it feels great!  Artwork has even started going up on the walls, thanks to Richard, that is one thing that would stay on my "to do" list forever if it was up to me!

AK seems to be adjusting fairly well other than her sleep being a little bit off.  She is waking up earlier than usual in the morning, and even some blackout blinds haven't resolved that yet.  Fingers crossed she'll settle in - she did have an exciting week with going back to school as well, and a growth spurt crossed my mind too.  She is enjoying the new place otherwise, she seems particularly taken with her "dressing room", I've put her makeup table and dress-up chest into the playroom closet and she walked in and gasped with pleasure.  Can I say how great it is to have all the toys in one room, and and that room NOT being the living room? 

Speaking of AK...  I've signed her up for ballet lessons again and tap is being incorporated this year!  How exciting is that for her?  She was quite happy to head back to ballet classes and I'm pleased she enjoys it so much.

We are within walking distance now from Grand Harbour, a shopping center that has a grocery store and a favorite restaurant of ours - the Brickhouse / Doghouse, which has a playground outside.  It's a great place to go with kids as they can let off steam and adults can have a drink and a bite to eat!  AK rode her bike over there the other night, it was a bit far but she did a great job.  She was too tired to pedal home though!  She and I walked while Richard pushed the bike home.  Guess I'll have to take leg energy into consideration when deciding when to leave next time!  We have plans to meet Cindy and her family there next week for Pizza Tuesday so I'll see how well I can gauge that!

It has been wonderful to get back to yoga this week.  I hadn't been since returning from holidays as packing, moving and unpacking have consumed me lately.  I'm already sleeping better and feeling better for it. 

I've resolved to dig out the camera tonight and take some pictures soon!!!  xo
