Day Seven in the New House

Our House In Progress

Here are photos of the house! It has been a tiring, fun, exciting week for us. We found a great shopping center with everything a new home owner could need: Lowes, Best Buy, Pet Smart, Target, Linens and Things, World Market (such a cool store!!!!). We've been to those stores four out of the last seven days!

We have met some nice neighbors. A father and daughter came from around the corner to greet us. They gave us banana bread that was still warm (so good!). We met our next door neighbors yesterday. Basher had a good time running around the yard with their dogs. And we have met a handful of people while taking Basher and Mason around the block for walks. People are friendly and open to standing and talking to their new neighbors.

We made sure Mason's room was livable on day one, so that he would be comfortable and feel  like he had his own place. We're still working on our room...

We found a couple of nice restaurants, a year-round farmers' market, a great organic grocery (Earth Fare), a nice regular grocery, a Little Gym, and swings. We are going to explore the NC Arboretum as soon as we can.

I hope to get some back entries up about Mason's 18th/19th month report and other fun stuff. I just need to hunker down and do it!
