Getting Settled

We are slowly, but surely getting settled into our new routines and our new home. We just LOVE it here, and we've been taking every opportunity to get outside and explore. Our city has a free movie in the park during the summer that we checked out, and while we couldn't stay for the movie, it was nice just to be outside and not melting! I feel for all of you in KY, VA, and NC.

Maddie, as well as Mommy and Daddy, are loving all of this space! The formal living room is currently set up as an indoor play area for when it's too hot. She as found her voice again, and most evenings, she roams around babbling and laughing and whatever else she can muster, at the top of her lungs! I think she does it because she likes having everyone home.

Jason is really doing well in his job, and I've noticed a marked difference in his disposition about work. Everyone seems to like working for him, and it has been great to have him home more!

As most of you know by now, we gave Jaxson up. We miss him, but it's been a huge burden lifted off of me. We felt we needed to even the playing field, so we adopted a cat from a local shelter. Her name is Mia, she's three years old, and resembles our old cat a bit. She's also great with Maddie and somewhat overweight.
