The Washington

All packed up and ready to go...

 At my moms house in Tsawwassen

  

1st time visiting Andrea & Ians house. Haven't seen them in over a year.

My 1st niece - Keara, love this girl!

Our 1st time meeting little Jane.  These two are gonna be besties some day, I can tell.

 

Oh Stella, you melt my heart! Such a sweet soul.

Probably the funniest kids book I've read yet...

Bellingham, WA

Kirkland, WA
This is across the street from us and where I will be spending a lot of time

One of the coolest playgrounds I've ever seen.  It was freezing and Rhone still had a blast. 

 

All Moved in... well sort of.  Still unpacking the last of the boxes, but it's coming along pretty well.  Our new house has hard wood floors which I love (easy to clean) and it is spacious with an open floor plan.  We are in the top floor of a house, with the owners below.  I have to admit, it is a little weird not having a single family home, but it is worth it.  With the decision of KC going to work, and for myself to stay home with the kids, it is a sacrifice I am more than willing to make.  

This next year will be a big change for us. Switching roles in life is going to be an adjustment for both of us. But one I'm very excited about.  I have a whole plan in my head, and just need to think about how I'm going to implement it.  

Ideally I would love to set up a little beginner pre-school for Rhone here, with lots of outdoor exploration.  I am looking into mommy groups/play groups so he we can make new friends.  Washington from what I've researched online, is such a great place with lots of activities for children.  They have a huge parks and recreation which has many different choices of classes toddlers can take.  My only problem I can't seem to figure out, is... how do I do parent/child classes with my toddler while having a 7 month old in tow??  I would love to hear from any momma's out there who have suggestions?

But for now... were taking one day at a time, finishing our house, getting the kids acclimated and making this feel like home for them.  It's funny cause for the first week here, Rhone kept saying it was Grandma's house.  I think he's figured it out now, but it definitely took awhile.  Lachlyn is doing great except for those darn teeth that are cutting through her gums.  I always feel so bad for teething babies.  She has it pretty bad... any day now, I expect a couple to pop through.  She's still breastfeeding and eating a lot more solids, which is great and hopefully we can get her to gain a little more weight.   

Here are just a few pictures, to be honest I wish I had taken more, but with moving and two little ones, it just hasn't happened yet.  More coming soon...
