Our New Home...

On September 16, 2011, we moved to our new home...
It was a crazy day (as if moving wasn't crazy enough,) our Garyn decided to wake up vomiting blood!!

The day went like this:
paged pediatrician
took Garyn to Emergency Room
Garyn was admitted
CT Scans, X-Rays, IV's...
his blood pressure bottomed
he was moved to the PICU
movers moved all of our house belongings without our supervision to our new home
THANK GOD FOR MY MOM
(she arrived home from Italy and woke up to our phone call about Garyn...she jumped in the car...sleep deprived and sick with a cold, made the 6 hour drive to help me.  Without her I may have not made it through the week...)
Garyn spent 3 days in the hospital
...
my kids never cease to amaze me
through all this craziness, they never skipped a beat
that is just one of the million reasons why I know we made the right move
...
just a few reasons why I love our new home:
it is cozy....very cozy
we use ALL of the space, NOTHING is wasted
it has lots of storage (can you believe it....especially since our 'new' home is 100 years old)
we can walk to school
we LOVE LOVE LOVE our St. Joan of Arc school family!!!!!!!
we have lots of old trees, squirrels
we are so close to downtown (the zoo, children's museum)
running in our new neighborhood
...
Things that took about a week (yep, just a week) to get use to:
living in a 100 year old home
hardwood throughout the entire house
using a house key again
having a detached garage
...
I have NEVER EVER been happier!
...
now if the the other house would sell...
