Moved!

Yeah Praise the Lord we are all moved in! It does seem a little unreal still like we are only here temporarily not like this is our new home now. We love the new place aside from bathrooms and kitchen being very old and not updated (and the slug under the kitchen sink). The ceilings are about 2 or 3 feet higher, the kitchen/living room/dining room are very open nice big windows take up one whole wall and a third of another. And we are not in a neighborhood where there are cop cars blocking off the street in our apartment complex at least once a week. :-) We have been very blessed by the Lord in his provision for us!

So last night the kids were in the van while Judah and I were putting in the last of the boxes to take back to our new place and Jaelle saw our neighbor walk by and she didn't remember her name so she said to me, "Mom, is that Otis's, um Otis's... Otis's pretty pretty princess!?" and all I could do is laugh and say "Yes, that's Cynthia, Otis's wife, His pretty pretty princess!" (Cynthia and Otis our are neighbors who live below us, an older black couple, Otis is a black version of my Italian Nonno!)
Jaelle was saying all sorts of silly things the whole day it was quite entertaining and it was nice to have her in such a good mood, singing and saying sweet things. :-)

Anyway, that's all for now...
if any one wants our new address just send me an email and I will give it!

Strollers, tired kids and the sun...

Well, we got a new stroller today (2nd hand) its a joovy caboose tandem stroller. I've been looking at them for a while and finally found one at a decent price on craigslist and judah so lovingly went this morning after work and bought it for me! :-)
So after lunch, i took the kids for a stroll over to our local Cutter's Point Coffee (in the Fred Meyer Shopping Center area) and got a coffee and a smoothie for the kids to share. (This week they are having 50% off all their drinks to celebrate summer, yeah cheap coffee for me~!) Josiah very much enjoyed running and it was nice because I could let him with out having to worry about the other two trying to follow suit. He told me "it's fun being all full of energy and running and jumping!"
It was nice cause it was air conditioned in the coffee shop. I've come to realize I don't like the Hot very much at all. I used to back in the teen years pride myself in how much I loved the HOT and hated the cold and while I still hate the COLD cold, like the Minnesota winter cold. I do not like, i even could say I hate the HOT now, anything above 75 (80 if there is a cooler breeze) is too hot for me.
As Judah likes to point out I am a creature of comfort, I like to be comfortable (and who doesn't??) and i can get very irritable if I am not very comfortable.

SO, today on my nice little stroll the sun was hot and the air stagnant and it's a balmy 82 degrees needless to say i was slightly uncomfortable (and slightly irritable) and we are home now and the kids have been sent to bed for naps.
