It is like a new country here! There is water everywhere I turn from rivers to marsh to swamp and beaches! It smelles fantastic, there is always a breeze and I am really happy here. The house lets in so much light, the cat seems to have gained 10 years back and is purring and cuddling us all the time! We went on our first play date today and I kept having to remind myself that the kids had only just met last week at the library! We met at a park that has a playground and some nature trails. We had a picnic lunch, where I got to meet the local Roots n Shoots leader, and then we went on a nature hike. We had an awesome time talking while the kids pretended they were in Pokemon habitat. They accepted the challenge of the other om to find things that inspired different Pokemon...for instance, rocks for Geodude, mud piles for Mudkip, etc., etc. After the park I got to go home and take a nap while Ed and the boys planted seeds all around the outside of our house. We will have cucumbers, hollyhocks, and sunflowers everywhere soon! I'm going to plant carrots and some sort of lettuce and see what happens. We have another play date tomorrow and one Wednesday too, phew! I was just so lonely for a bit that I went nutty planning play dates and now I think I'm going to have one busy week. Did I mention how much I love my new house??? We have yet to eat out (and good thing since we really can't afford that now anyway, ha!) I have cooked in my wonderful new kitchen each and every night since we've been here. Awesome, huh? ;)

Cant wait to see your house. I was actually going to try to come by there on my way home but decided to stay another night to see dad off most of his tubes.
Talk soon.
