We moved into our new house over a month ago and we are just now feeling settled in. All of us absolutely love, love, love the house! While we were in the rental house, Quincy never once had a good night's sleep. She cried every time she was put down for her naps and for the night. And I mean cried. Hard. However, the night we moved into the new house Quincy was right back to her old self. Now she just lays down and says night-night and then just clicks off for the night. Ahh.....happy baby.
Here we are the day we closed on our new house. Standing with us is Steve, our builder. We had such a great experience with Steve that I felt the need to have him in our first picture at our new house.
If I ever get my act together, the above picture will be the picture on our "We've moved cards". Chances are you'll get a Christmas card from us before I get around to sending out these cards...
Now that we live in the 'burbs, we are finally doing all the things we have never been able to do while we lived downtown, such as going to dinner without being acosted by indigents. The first suburban-activity on our agenda was to go to the Duluth Fall Festival, which I had yet to go to the entire 13 years I have worked at Duluth High School. As you can tell from the above picture, Quincy had fun.....she especially loved the parade!
A couple of weeks after we moved in, Quincy had her first trip to our new dentist ...which is right across the street and we will walk to from here on out. She had a
great time in the waiting room....but that's where the fun ended so I am only posting the "happy Quincy at the dentist" picture....
Above is a picture from Quincy's school. With her are her school-BFF, Rebecca on the left (which is not her forever-BFF---that honor will always belong to Lucy and Kali) and her teacher, Daisy, on her right. We love (LOVE!) Daisy....she is just sooo loving and nice. Quincy always gives her a HUGE hug and kiss before she leaves every day....
Cold weather is finally upon us so we all get to go back outside without melting from the heat....
Last weekend was our very good friend's, Cathy, surprise B'day party. Prior to the party, the girls took her out for a surprise wine-tasting event while her husband, Dave (Tim's best-friend), prepared their house for the party upon her return (and it was truly a surprise---she had NO idea). While Dave was getting the house ready, Tim was on Quincy-duty (as I was wine-tasting and eating huge amounts of cheese---I love cheese....yummm). Dave and Cathy have a great playgound set up in the back so Quincy was able to enjoy the beautiful day outside....she especially loved the rock wall....
