Nuestra Casa :D


We found our house!! The picture is a link to all the info on it (you can change the language to English at the top of the page I think). We met with our landlord today and he's a really great guy and speaks English pretty well. Between his English and my Spanish we're a perfectly bilingual human ;) I took a few pics with the nice camera, but don't know yet about uploading. The house has a big yard and a pool. It has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, and tons of flowers and fruit trees to make everything smell wonderful :) They're remodeling the kitchen, master bathroom, and the garage right now so we can't actually move in until mid-July. Since none of us wanted to live in a hotel for another month we've moved into an "aparthotel". For less than our hotel costs we're renting a furnished 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, cable, and a living room. Unfortunately the internet is not free so don't expect to hear much from us for the next month or so. I'm not too keen on paying over $100 a week for internet :O I will be back soon and when I am I'll have plenty of pictures and stories to share about this exciting transition.
ALSO Brennan is smiling a lot now and sleeping at least 7 hours at night. I will try to get a smiling pic and upload it ASAP as well. Tristan and Noah are fine as always and enjoying staying up a lot later here :)

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Image
Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
