moving!

We moved into our new (purple!) house on May 1st. All 3 of us are loving it, though we're still getting settled, and working hard on lots of remodeling. Adelaide has made the adjustment remarkably well -- she's sleeping better than ever and seems pretty excited about all the new space to explore.

Moving has opened up opportunities to learn lots of new things. For instance, Adelaide learned about packing - the day after we moved she found an empty laundry basket at her grandma's house. She promptly took it over to the cupboards and loaded up all the pasta and cereal! Back at home, it didn't take her long to learn the new game: carry boxes around and take things out. Though the boxes are bigger than she is, Adelaide thought it was pretty funny to cart the empty ones from room to room. Today, she's been hard at work building a new table. I only wish she was as good with a paintbrush as she is with the screwdriver!!
