What We’ve Been Up To

It has been a very busy month around here.  We said goodbye to our house in VA and hello to our new house in RI.  We attended baseball games, visited pumpkin patches, unpacked boxes, hung up pictures, went to Julia’s first Waterfire, and saw lots of family. 

We are settling in pretty well.  Julia loves her new room and being so close to more family.  She has had the opportunity to play with her cousin, swing with her Aunties, and spend lots of time with grandparents.  She seems to love the interaction and has been very happy in general since we got here.   Andrew and I have had a little more time to ourselves and even a date night last night!  We’re still feeling a little bit like we’re on vacation here but that’s not necessarily a bad thing!

Waterfire

Julia’s first Waterfire!  She loved it and has been talking about it since.  Unfortunately, that was the last one of the year so it’s a long wait until we’ll see it again.

 Pumpkin trail Junior firefighters!

We visited a pumpkin trail in Newport with Auntie Merrill and Alex.  Julia and Alex got to meet the Newport firefighters and Alex did a great job navigating the fire simulator.  They both are junior firefighters!

We visited a pumpkin patch and Julia fed lots of animals.  She especially liked the miniature goats.
