Yes it has been a while since my last post, and well I don't put too many posts out here as it is, but hey like I've said before, busy, busy, busy.
We closed on our new house on July 30th and the following weekend we moved in. So we've been there over a month. Here's a photo of the house. We're mostly settled in, though there are still a few stray boxes hanging out here or there. Zachary seems to like the place and even the first night we stayed there he showed no concerns about sleeping in a new house for the first time. I assume that since mommy puts him to bed that helps a lot.
We purchased a new plasma TV and, thanks to Rob, a friend of mine, we've mounted it above the fireplace. It looks really nice up there.
The sod seems to have taken nicely to all the watering we did during the first two weeks. And well the following two weeks of rain also helped.
The concrete patio we had the builders pour turned out to be a lot smaller than we expected so we have since had it expanded. It is about 20'x30' now and gives us more of what we were originally looking for from a patio. Though did you know that concrete is very hard? If the wind blows hard enough your glass top patio table can actually be lifted up into the air (even though the umbrella was closed). You know what they say about every action has an equal and opposite reaction? Well when the table came back down to earth it landed on that hard concrete patio and exploded. Fortunately we were not home at the time so no one was hurt. But it did take me an hour and a half or so to clean up that mess.
Next on the agenda is to have a fence installed. Gonzo could use some exercise off the leash. We're thinking of an aluminum fence. It looks like a wrought iron fence but is much less expensive. Hopefully we will have that in within the month.
OK, gotta run back to class, I'll provide more later.
