Our Saturday started like every other Saturday...McDonald's coffee with three creams and two stevias. YUMMY! What a treat!
My husband took my son to get a new bicycle. He went up to the 20" bike. He loves it and has spent a lot of time on it today.
My cousin recently got a job in Manhattan. She is moving from LA, and he apartment wasn't going to be ready until late tonight. So, she took the train to our village today and spent the day with us. I hadn't seen her in a couple of years, and we had a great time! She is very independent and fun to be around. The kids really enjoyed her company as well.
Then, my second cousin who lives in Manhattan came over with her husband and beautiful little girl. This is the first time we were able to meet in person. She is beautiful, absolutely beautiful on the inside and out. It felt comforting to be around family again.
They invited us to a barbecue tomorrow for Father's Day, and we are really looking forward to it.
In other news, my cousin's husband grew up here, and he told us about a Target about 9 or 10 miles away; I was elated. The only Target I knew about was about 10 miles the other way, in a large city, and up in a parking garage. It was so inconvenient and unfamiliar. Now, I have a Target with a regular parking lot again!
What a successful day!
I skyped with my parents tonight. It was a treat! Technology is awesome!
The two week mark! It sure seems like it's been a lot longer than two weeks! It seems like we've been here for two years! I know that sounds crazy, but it does. We are beginning to realize that people are what makes this house feel more like home. People and time make it feel more like home.
Tomorrow is Father's Day, so I am going to try to make the day extra special for my husband, because he is a fabulous father to our two children. I know he would love nothing more than to have a peaceful house with smiling faces, and that's what we're going to give him! :)
Happy Father's Day to all of you wonderful fathers out there.
I took a picture today of a Hydrangea in our yard. When we moved in, it was pale green, then it changed to a bright, lime green. Two days ago, it began changing to the most pretty shade of violet. It just keeps becoming more and more beautiful, and continues to bloom and change a little each day.
