Day #20
Well, you've been gone nearly 3 weeks now, and today was the first day I didn't get to talk to you on the phone. I am so greatful for the internet, though, so I know you are safe and sound. It was another busy day here. I think I've done more in our hometown over the past 24 hours than I have done some months. I actually attended a playgroup here. It was hosted by one of the mothers of a child in Charlie's class and she personally invited me and happens to live around the corner. It was totally low key, and it was nice to sit and talk to some other young mom's about our hometown. They all agreed that the restaurants leave you desiring more. I actually heard that there is a good breakfast taco place next door to the Texaco station. Too, bad I'm making friends and finding more out about the area just before we move.
Speaking of moving...I think it is now official. Basically the seller has agreed to all of the major work, all that we need to do is a few more things and the cosmetic items we've talked about before. I don't think I'll do anything but the kitchen and bathrooms right now. That would include painting, flooring and countertops. We are still closing on the 16th (to my knowledge). That is only 2 weeks away! It is going to be a busy month, as I just gave 30 days notice to Will. I sure hope a 2 week cushion to move is enough with the holidays in the middle of all of it (sound familiar).
Ok, now to the latest with the boys. Charlie and Will and I went downtown tonight to see what this "stroll" weekend is all about. Really it was quite nice. It would have even been romantic if you had been there and I wasn't pushing two small children around in a jogger. We drove down to Main St. and walked bascially from Royal to the Civic Center. There were a ton of Xmas decorations, a bell choir, and a live nativity scene. Charlie and Will were both fascinated by the bell choir. However, Will checked out pretty quickly after that, as it was his bedtime. Charlie was totally engrossed by the nativity scene, too. The story was posted, so I read it aloud to him. I don't think he moved a single muscle while we were there. As we were leaving I leaned over and asked him what he thought about the nativity scene and he said, "where is Santa, I want to see him", so much for the true meaning of Christmas.
Tonight during Charlie's prayers he said he was thankful for Christmas decorations. He has gone down and stayed down in his big bed three nights in a row now. His naps are a different story, but the past few nights have at least been better. I'm expecting it to all go south tonight now that I have bragged about him. Otherwise, I'm hoping to get some things done around the house this weekend. Looking forward to your phones being back up soon. Love, Chris
