Ch-ch-ch-changes April 9, 2010

So, it’s been a while.

Yeah.

Some changes since I last posted:

(when did I last post? Thanksgiving?)

– We moved. Not far, still in the same neighborhood, still renting. There were health problems with the last house and the decision to move was…accelerated…but we needed something a tiny bit larger anyway. So we have a new address, one more room, and…a BACKYARD!! Completely fenced in. Praise the Lord, how did I ever care for two active boys without one?!

– In conjunction with the move, I now have a really truly adults-only bedroom!! Both this house and the old one are shotgun style, which means the rooms are all stacked in a row, each leading in to the next. Our bedroom was right in between the living room/Gui’s room and the kitchen before, which made it feel like a hallway sometimes. Now our room is at the very front of the house, and since there are several doors opening from other rooms on to the side porch, there’s no need for anyone to enter our room at all. There’s a lock on the door and blessed, blessed, privacy and peace within. 🙂

– Which reminds me…Pascal is night weaned and no longer co-sleeping. We still let him come in for cuddles in the morning, and I in no way regret co-sleeping with each of my boys when they were toddlers. But it is lovely to bid him goodnight and leave the room too!

– I had my first eye exam in 6 years with a local optician and bought three (3!!) new pairs of glasses from Zenni Optical. I am thrilled with the new glasses, even more thrilled that the low price (EIGHT dollars/pair!!) motivated me to be more adventurous in my picks than I would be normally. I am at this moment sporting a pair of incredibly comfortable fuschia plastic frames – and I LOVE them.

– I also dyed my hair- a sort of warmish chestnut color. Just because. 🙂

– Both the boys seem to have had growth spurts along with birthdays – Sweet Pea turned 2 in February and The Bug turned 5 in March. I can’t believe I’m the mother of a 5 yr old!

– And…I’ve ordered a new camera so I should be able to post pictures of all these changes in another couple weeks!
