Our New Home

We're officially moved into our new home!  Our container got unloaded last week and we took the weekend to get everything settled, fridge stocked, beds made, etc before finally moving out of Nana's and into our own place again.  Esme was VERY sad to leave Nana and Papa but she loved seeing all her old stuff again.  She walked through our new house like it was Christmas day.  She was sooooooooooo excited to see her bed, princess shoes, puzzles, bike, etc.  Chan didn't seem to notice anything but he had a very hard time sleeping in his own crib in his own room again.  He had a very fearful cry when we'd lie him down the first few days/nights but he's slowly getting used to it now.  

Chan's picked up a few more words just since last week - cheese, papaya (actually he says all but the last a), and hot.  He's learned to dance and jump which are similar movements.  Basically he just bounces his knees but his feet never leave the ground.  He's also enjoying feeding himself in his high chair.  It makes for a big clean up but he's happiest this way.

Both kids seem to be having growth spurts since we've gotten here.  They're both changing shoe sizes and eating a lot.  It must be the sun or something like that.  It still wears them both out a lot and I think that'll take a little longer to adjust to.  They've gotten used to sleeping with fans in their rooms.  And amazingly they've gotten used to sleeping thru so many more noises than in WA.  Their windows and doors are open now and they sleep through animals making sounds, loud cars, laundry and dishes being done and so much more.  In WA we used to tiptoe around when they were sleeping since our house was so quiet and any little noise would wake them.  It's amazing how things change!
  

Visiting Nana at work.  The highlight was bouncing on the ball behind her desk. 

Sleepover with cousins

From WA to HI, our container made it!

Mrs Potato Head was a little disheveled when we unpacked her but otherwise she said it was a pretty smooth ride across the ocean. 

Look at all that dark hair Chan's growing!

Swimming at the yacht club on an otherwise rainy day. Esme insisted she still wanted to swim even though it was sprinkling out.  

And even on a rainy day Esme can wear her tank top and shorts without being cold.  Here she's eating saimin and drinking the broth with a straw.  

Chan was just happy we gave him some noodles too. 

Chan found his cheeser smile again!

Look how happy he is to be eating his cream of wheat on his own!
