Summer 2011


This summer has been crazy! We sold out house in July, packed all our worldly goods into Storage Cubbies, and packed ourselves off to my dads while we house hunted. We finally found the perfect place for our little foursome in the Tuscany neighborhood in late August. We moved all our stuff in on a Friday and then I started back to work at school on Monday! It has been a busy few weeks but we're finally settled in and back to "normal".

If you are thinking - wait, didn't they just move? Yep, we sure did - two years ago exactly. We moved from "suburbia-land" (Kenn's words) to the charming North End. And the North End truly is very charming, but our tiny, aging house on a busy street was anything but. We initially thought we could put up with an older, smaller home and a very busy street for the ambiance and experiences of the North End but two kids, too much stuff and too many projects later we threw in the towel. So, we're back in the burbs but only a short car ride away from a visit the North End :)

At 7 months Sage is still a tiny thing but is very active and social. She's rolling everywhere and almost sitting independently. She loves to blow raspberries and stick her tongue out for a laugh. Koen just turned three - yikes, where has the time gone?! He is especially enjoying our new house because of his "very own big toy room" (aka bonus room) and the neighborhood pools.


Koen had his tonsils and adnoids taken out Friday due to sleep apnea and we've had a rough few days but he's on the mend now... Watching your kid hurt really hurts :( The upside is knowing that he'll sleep better without them and will have more energy! The downside is hearing that he may give up naps now that he'll be sleeping better at night - I sure do enjoy those 2 hours of quiet time with Sage ;)
