3 Months In

Three months and a few weeks into the year and I have yet to write anything. Awesome. NOT! We are settled into the house as much as we can be. We still have unpacked boxes, but that goes along with the territory of an unfinished basement. We are looking forward to the next stage of this house which is yard work. Unlike the last house, we won't have sod. We will be putting in a sprinkler system and seeding. Before that though we have to bring in at least one truckload of dirt to build up the yard. Emily has adjusted really well to living in a new house and new town. Sometimes she talks about missing her friend Rayna, but I think that she is enjoying the kids outside out here who love to mother and take care of her outside. They have even taught her that mud can be fun! Emily has a couple of new obsessions: Tangled, the new Disney movie and changing her clothes at least 3 times a day. The movie is great but her clothing changes have resulted in a lot more laundry and some very messy drawers!! A few weeks back we decided that it was time for Emily to begin the process of stopping thumb sucking. We promised her a Leapster when she kicks the habit. So far in the last two weeks she has only sucked her thumb once. I would say she is doing really well and I am really proud of her!! Not much else is happening. The snow has melted and now the area is waiting for the Red River to Crest, sometime this weekend. No flood worries here though!
