The Move

So it's been almost a week since we moved to our home. And unpacking is still under way. We love our new house and our neighborhood. For me, it turned out better than I expected. The house seems to be in a better shape when it's vacant and cleaned.We're in the process of cleaning the carpet before we can replace it. And our new carpet cleaner is doing a good job. Our breakfast/dining area has a big window (you can see it from the front of the house). The neighborhood is beautiful and very friendly. The day we moved we met all our close neighbors (I only met one neighbor in a little over a year when we lived in Gaitherburg). Everyone was coming over to greet us and welcome us to the neighborhood. LOTS of kids. Probably every other house on the block has either a pre-schooler or a kindergartener. Just couple houses down the road is a long trail that takes you through a field and woods. 5 minute walk on the trail and you're in the woods on a huge shaded playground. Ashburn Park.

Our computer is dying a slow death and I can't import any more pictures:(

Sneak Peak

We had a photoshoot yesterday afternoon. I can't wait to see more pictures.

Love this teethless smile.

Indianapolis

Just a few pics of the kids. More when we come back. The road was long and tiring. But we made it safely. The kids were the troopers.

A bit of everything

It's a quiet time in the house right now. Kira is napping, Aaron's watching "Curious George". I just uploaded some pictures of the kids and realized how much Kira has changed. Wow...

Last week we enjoyed a visit from Great Aunt Susie. And though it was short we're glad that Susie got to meet Kira.

There are lots of changes coming up in the Cislaks household. We're getting ready to head to Indianapolis (through Pittsburgh), spend a week there. And then as soon as we come back we need to start packing to move to our new home! I am not sure how we're going to do it with the kids, packing and all...but it will work out somehow. It always does.

So, yes, we finally found a house that we liked. It needs some minor work to make it "our" home. It appears to have everything we've been looking for: a grocery, a big playground, a swim pool (all within a walking distance) It is the end unit townhouse that backs into a big lawn with some trees where I can see Cliff and Aaron running a kite, or kicking a ball, or riding a tractor. The neighborhood has lots of kids so hopefully Aaron and Kira will make some good friends there. The lower level is a rec. room with half bath. We'll use this space for a guest bedroom and Cliff's den. The second level is a big open space with a breakfast room, kitchen, half bath, dining area and living room. There is also a good size deck (looking over the big lawn) with the stairs that take you to the first level. The third level has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The master bathroom has a jacuzzi, a shower, two sinks and even a good size window which makes the bathroom VERY bright.

Anyways, I only saw it once:) Can't wait to get my hands on cleaning and making it nice. And of course, friends and family are welcome any time.

But the biggest news of all, Mary and Andy Tresize had a baby boy today-Thomas Carter Tresize! Congratulations!
