We've Moved

August was by far my worst blogging month ever.  It wasn’t actually on purpose though.  You’ll remember I wrote about us finally selling our house – we’re still in shock it actually happened– and we moved to McKinney on Aug. 26^th.   There was LOTS of packing before the move - mostly by my sweet Momma who came in to help 2 weekends in a row!!  And since the move, we’ve been covered up in boxes and are slowly digging our way out.  This was our first move since Jack joined our family and I can definitely say moving with a one year old makes things more challenging!! 

For several days in a row, his afternoon nap consisted of about a 40 minute snooze in the car (which makes for a cranky little boy the rest of the day) and we’re still ironing out his bedtime routine.  The first few nights we were in the house, he woke up in the middle of the night crying… I’m sure a little unsure about where he was.  I think we’re getting there though. 

Afternoon of the move.  His bed was packed so this was the only place to nap :(  

See what I mean about the boxes?

All in all, we’re enjoying the new house, neighborhood, neighbors (one of which brought us cake balls – I love her already!) and all things McKinney.  I’ve scoped out several cute shops as well as a few local restaurants to visit.  Jack even started a new MDO last Tuesday at North Texas Christian Academy and he seems happy there.  He’s going on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I hope this helps with the separation anxiety he continues to have.

So much to explore in the backyard!

Check out his feet.  Those are little dust covers.  

Nothin' like putting our little boy to work cleaning house early, huh? 

So happy!

Learning to navigate the new stairs.  

On the job front, a really good friend of Patrick’s joined the same company he started working for and they’re having a great time.   They seem to work well together and have some great things planned for the company.   He’s working not far from our house, so we’re excited to see him more often. 

And, there was some other exciting news in August, but I’ll wait until next post to fill you in on that one J  This one has been news-y enough already.
