After a bit of nagging and prodding from Amanda I decided to change the look of my blog. Pretty fancy, huh? I think it's beautiful but I normally go for something a lot less ornate.
Well, we are all moved and settled now. It feels great to be back in the last town we lived in, almost like we never left. It just feels so RIGHT for us to be here and I want to stay forever. The kids love their schools so much they didn't even want to go on Thanksgiving vacation! They fell right back in with their old friends who were so excited to see them. We are renting a home that was built in 1966 and because of it's age it is both charming and challenging. It needs a lot of little repairs that the owner will be fixing over the next couple weeks. It is a cozy little place though and we feel at home. The neighborhood is great and we were welcomed by several of the neighbors before we had even unloaded the moving van. Many of the neighbors have been here since the early seventies. I didn't know anyone stayed in one place that long!
The kids and I spent the entire day before Thanksgiving baking pies and preparing food for the big day. All the dishes turned out really good and I even made a decent turkey gravy (I've always had a gravy making phobia).
The kids busted out the Playstation Dance Dance Revolution and everybody had fun dancing and laughing at each other. Aaron's mom even gave it a try!
