Kentucky Home

Once again I have been MIA. So many posts to publish (lots of drafts) but I wanted to get out a quick update. We are all moved in to our new Kentucky home! Thankful to report that the move went so smoothly! Our moving company was great. The unpacking and packing went a million times better with them than the last company. Highly recommend New Latitude, not one single item was damaged or lost! Mom, Dad, Oma and Opa drove down to meet us Saturday afternoon. Huge help with Jack and filling our bellies. Plus it forced us to get all 5 bedrooms set up and put together right away. Everything was unpacked Saturday but things have not found found their final destination yet. This house is much more cozy than the last, and the neighborhood reminds me much more of the Chicago suburbs, which is nice. Don't get me wrong we are still out in the country like we were in Birmingham, still enjoying that feel:) Grocery shopping is only 1.5 miles away though, loving that for quick trips. Jack is adjusting well, sleeps through the night no problem and taking naps. He is eating like a teenage boy though. Jack keeps telling me he is "happy", so I think we're good. Still doesnt play by himself and stalks me all day, but whats new. Soon I am going to get him to do the household chores with me if they are just so interesting. Biggest change has been having Mike around! Feels like a family should. Preppy has even made it home for lunch twice this week! I love it. An Jack is in heaven. I didn't realize how much he missed his missed his Dad. And I didnt realize how different it I sharing the workload:) Preppy has been doing the nightly routine...amazing. Seriously my days alone with a clingy toddler 24/7 was making this mom go a little kookie (and indulge in an extra glass of wine every night). I miss having my friends around, but besides that things are going well! More to come soon...
