So it has been a very busy couple of weeks. We have officially moved into our new home, and have been living there since Saturday, August 20th. The kids have transitioned wonderfully to the new home. Three days after we moved in, we had an earthquake about 100 miles from our home. Needless to say, that was an experience I think we could all do without again. Thankfully, it appears that there is no damage to the house. Julia started kindergarten on August 24th, and she has really enjoyed being at the new school and riding the school bus. Andrew started a new school on that same day and immediately walked in, sat down in front of his new teachers, and didn't even look back to give mommy a hug!
Saturday, August 28, Hurricane Irene came to visit-an unwelcome visitor for sure! The winds were quite amazing, as was the rain, but our house and property fared extremely well. Even our old house only had leaves in the yard, no fallen trees or other calamities. However, the main road to our new home had several power lines down, so we had no power on Sunday, and as I type from our old house (our "vacation home" that has power) , I am not sure if we will have it tonight. However, the power company has been pretty responsive and I think it will be up and running very soon. Fingers crossed! Unlike the cable company which has yet to install our internet, tv and phone even though we requested it three weeks ago. So, in the meantime, our cell phones are the best way to reach us-or carrier pigeon :)
And yes, I will be continuing this blog as we put the finishing touches on the house, and beyond...New Adventures at Green Glass Road!
For some reason, I am not able to put the slideshow up from Picasa like normal. Please click on the picture below to take you to the pictures link for this week.
