Getting settled

We're in our new house now... it's almost been 2 weeks. The kids are loving all the extra space and not having any furniture in 2 rooms gives them more running room. I'm not sure I like all the extra area that needs cleaning, but I'm lucky to have a husband who helps out with the household chores! It turns out our next door neighbors grew up in Santa Rosa and know some of Jon's extended family. Such a small world! They have 3 younger kids too, which is great. Jacob has already played with their little boy a few times. The worst part of the move has been Jon's commute and the extra time he's been gone. He used to come home for his dinner break, but now it's too far. I must admit, I was secretly excited that I didn't have to have dinner on the table by 5:30, but I miss it already. Jacob asks every night at dinner if daddy is coming home. But, the trade-off of having more space and living closer to family has been wonderful. We're looking forward to many summer days swimming at mom's and Heather's. Most of our boxes are unpacked... just a few random boxes that I think were still packed from when we moved to Folsom over 3 years ago!
