Cooking Dinner and Meeting the Neighbors

Matt and I went to Kroger on Sunday morning before the crowds hit to buy all the stuff you need when you move into a new house and have no food. Yes, I drove the mart cart again and got a few stares, but not too many.

$200 something later we were ready to each lunch and cook our first dinner at home! It was nice to be able to cook a meal instead of running out to grab something.

We also made more progress this weekend on the house. Mom and I worked on Reese's room, so it's almost in order. Her crib will arrive tonight, so Matt can start assembling. Once that's done; I can post pictures!

Joe and Pat (Matt's parents) came over on Sunday to help with the wall patching. It's all starting to come together, and soon we'll have before and after pictures to show you.

Since I've been home resting I've noticed that the neighborhood kids come out to play between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. I'd been meaning to go out and say hello to all of the neighbors who are also out and about. Today, I was finally able to get out and meet some folks. I met lots of Moms and a few guys who were walking the dogs. I also discovered that we have 2 infants on our block (Addison - 6 months and the other baby I didn't meet but is approximately 2 months), so Reese will have playmates. I am so excited! One of the things we love about this neighborhood is that the kids come out and play, but I was not sure how many kids were going to be Reese's age. Today I saw lots of kids ranging from age 5 to 11. It's good to know Reese will have playmates too.

Tomorrow will be a busy morning as we have our ultrasound at 9:00, appt. with Dr. Firpo at 10:10 and car seat installation at 11:30. Luckily, all appointments are at Texas Women's so it'll be convenient. I'll be posting new pictures of Reese afterwards!
