...I'm not sure how it will turn out.
Life after moving. It hasn't been as easy to adjust as I hoped. After two months we're still trying to clear out Michele's things from the house, although we did take a long break and got out of the groove of things. It's been really stressful and I can't wait to be completely settled and make the house really feel like home. I still need to adjust to having 3 other people on the property too. It's not the privacy I had hoped for when moving into a house. I also need to adjust to not having as much time with Dave. Michele has a lot of projects for him around the house and property that take up a lot of time. Not only that but time spent on our own things like chopping wood for the winter and getting gutters fixed for the rainfall. I never see him anymore and really need to take advantage of our time together.
On our list:
-Complete Kainen's room, start Miles'...still, it's been on the list for far too long.
-Complete my room and bathroom...mainly cleaning and organizing.
-Organize garage, equipment shed and garden shed.
-Clear out all junk around the property...should be our first priority.
Projects!:
-Paint!!! Inside and out! So excited for this part :D
-New carpet...can't stand this dark teal color!
-Change hardware on all cabinets...eventually would like to restain or paint the cabinets
-New light fixtures in master bath
-Tile...or something other than carpet in the master bath!
-More to come I'm sure!
Other exciting things that have happened these last few months. Kainen taught himself to ride a bike! In three days! He just kept trying and trying until he figured it out! And then he braved the grass and the gravel since the only other thing to ride on is the deck. I'm so proud of him!!! He also started preschool! This was a very quick decision for us, we've thought about it before but one day I just called and the next week he was going. It's been really fun! It's been an adjustment though. I think I'm finally over the feeling of forgetting something after I drop him off. I'm still getting used to the getting ready routine before school too. He recently had a Trike-A-Thon and got to use his bike riding skills. He completed 21 of the TEN laps the were supposed to do!!! He was the only kid in his group that had no training wheels and he didn't fall or stop once! I was so proud of him! Of course they all were winners and got the same medal and award saying they completed 10 laps but secretly his MY official winner!
Miles is turning two this month! I can't believe how fast the tim has gone! He has grown so much and it's hard to believe how he came into this world. He's not really talking yet but he tries to repeat everything he hears. He's not walking yet but it will be soon I'm sure. One thing I've been struggling with is patients. With a full term baby you can usually pinpoint the moment they will hit milestones (fyi when I typed that out I capitalized M like I was spelling his name, I do that often) but with Miles I can't and you never know when they come. That's been a huge struggle. Since he's been born I've had this anger inside of me that just recently went away, sometimes it still comes around but I think it was just anger from how he came into the world, losing the twins and not really understanding why this was happening to me. I have to keep reminding myself how lucky I am to have Miles and what a miracle he is and he's all mine. I shouldn't have to remind myself that because it should just come naturally every time I look at him but it hasn't and it's been really hard. Anyway, I didn't mean to get into all of that. Sorry.
Okay, my fingers hurt so I'm going to put this to an end. Hopefully we will have internet soon so I can post pictures and videos.
