I'm back!

We are now moved in to the new place.  :-)  Nicely settled with only a couple boxes still left to deal with. . . mostly Elijah's clothes that are either one size too small or one (or more) sizes too big, which I am still trying to figure out what to do with.  He's currently in between sizes which makes it very difficult to decide what should be brought out and what should be packed away!

I feel like I'm living in the lap of luxury - I now have a dishwasher and a double oven and a pulley system for hanging my washing indoors!

Sorry for the lapse in blogging.  It was quite a saga getting our phone and internet set back up after the move.  Then we finally thought we had it sorted, and our phone line was suddenly disconnected, and we still haven't figured out why or who did it.  That sent us all the way back to square one, and we had to wait another week for our phone line to finally be reconnected, and then we had to wait for our internet to be reconnected. . . and now here we are, and hopefully that is over and done with!

I am hoping to get caught up with posting photos of the wee man soon. He is getting SO big!  Right now, in fact, he is wearing something marked "3-6mos."  *sigh*  I don't understand baby clothes sizes.  Half of his "0-3mos" clothes don't fit him, and half of his "3-6mos" clothes DO.  And he is 2 months old!  No wonder it's been such a headache sorting out his clothing after this move. 

At the moment he is sitting in his car seat smiling at me, flailing his arms and kicking his little legs.  We have such fun together!  He is so responsive, it amazes me each day.  Already he is noticing if I leave the room, even for an instant, and he doesn't like it!  He is so much happier if mama is right there talking to him. . . or better yet, holding him!

So, yes.  We are all doing very well.  Elijah is sleeping well and eating well, for which we are very thankful.  David is keeping busy with preaching engagements.  We had another whirlwind trip to Skye last weekend - our first long-distance trip as a family.   and I will post more another time, because the munchkin wants fed!

  1. Yay, you're back!! Glad to hear you're settling nicely, and a wee update on Elijah! Two months already! Ah welcome to the land of clothes sorting, it doesn't get much easier, right now for Katie I have 18-24months, 2-3 yrs and 3-4 yrs things around...very confusing! And makes for a lot of clothes round the place you're always just that bit scared to put away incase they outgrow.

    Pics on facebook of Elijah were so cute, nice to see him.
    Love, Dawn xxx

  2. It took me a while to figure out clothing as well! Sizes change depending on brands, which makes it confusing if you have a bunch of different brands :) I finally got a lot of plastic bins and labeled them with the various sizes--it helps to keep them contained and out of sight! Plus, when you notice that Elijah has outgrown one item, you can just tuck it away in the appropriate bin to save for the next baby.
