Behind Blogger

Yes, I know, I've been terrible about blogging - moving/organizing has been all encompassing and I still feel like I have a looooooong way to go :-(  A big thanks to Arantxa, Alaina, T, & Mimi for coming over to play with Charlie and help me organize. Moving (and more so settling in) with a baby has proved to be very challenging. (ie I tried to run away and live at pottery barn but they kicked me out at closing time).

The Yard Sale:
I think it went well, we got rid of a couple of bulky pieces of furniture which has given our little garage some relief but we still have stuff for sale... check it out *here*
We did find at the end of the day that a couple of our signs on the side streets fell down so that may have been a bit of a marketing malfunction. All of the people were really nice, no crazy bargain hunters which made me feel good.
Our house is a little bit funky because it's so old so we've had to be creative with furniture placement and a couple of euro style/size items. Our tv stand with all the glass (like my favorite tables) have became a baby disaster zone and we've done our best to block it off to no avail. Soooooooo I'm not above creating a "housewarming" registry on Crate and Barrel to get the 10% completion coupon! LOL, I thought it was a good idea!!! I made the date for last Sat. yard sale day :-) Hopefully that bad boy will be arriving soon so we can get the new media console ordered and we will once again have a "baby safe" zone.

Charlie is Acclimating:
But I think he thinks we're still traveling :-( It's funny that we moved for him and yet I feel guilty about uprooting him.  He does enjoy our walks (as we can now walk to most everything) and our nearby park where he relaxes in the baby swing (last time for more than 20 mins which is a miracle in itself)
