Settling In

Well we officially moved into the new house over the 4th of July weekend. That Saturday was a very long day but we were able to move all the big and heavy furniture in and sleep in the new house.

We have had some issues with going to bed with Caleb and Robert but are working those out. Caleb LOVES his new big boy bed. It stands higher then he does but like the monkey he is (ha ha that is also his Chinese birth sign believe it or not) he just climbs onto to everything to get in. I did have original concerns about him falling out but so far so good no falls at all. Robert has Caleb's old big boy toddler bed he at first he loved it too but now he would rather sleep on the floor instead of the bed. Sarah.....well how much can an 8month old complain about her room... :)

We still have things at the old house to move over but are settling in one box at a time. On a sad note today I had to take Marcus (our cat) to C.A.P. and hope they can find him a new home. It has gotten real bad with him using the entire house as a litter box in defiance of the kids and I just couldn't have that in the new house. Also he spent more time closed up in our bedroom hiding under the bed or in the closet until the kids went to bed then he came out. No matter how many times you tell and show kids 'gentle, nice, rub head to tail, don't pull the tail' they do anyway and Marcus would swipe at them with his paw (which is declawed). The choice had to be made 'my kids' or 'my cat' and of course the kids won. I cried many tears today but know he is really just such a good boy and some single or widowed person is looking for a companion. He loves to sit on your lap and get his ears rubbed. He just needs to be the king of the house and not be around kids.

I am going to post some pictures of the house.....please excuse the condition of some things as these were taken before we moved in and were still painting and installing some electrical things we wanted so some rooms look kinda messy.

Until next time....
Blessings
