We survived

We are all moved in! Well, almost. We still have a few boxes to unpack, but it's over. We moved to North Tacoma, for those of you who didn't know. Our house was extremely dirty and pretty much nauseating when we moved in, but it's clean now, and we love it. It's a big fixer, so we're going to start with the kitchen floor. We just picked out our tile, so we'll start hopefully in the next few days! Now I just need to find a preschool for Riley. He is so excited to go to school. He carries around his little backpack all the time and says he's going to school. He is definitely ready! He can spell, on the verge of reading. He knows all his letters, upper and lower case, and he can spell anything! He's just starting to recognize little words, so he's almost there! I know I'm bragging, but I'm just so proud of him. He loves to learn. Brooklyn's talking up a storm, singing and dancing her way through life. She loves music and screaming. She screams a lot, and I'm not sure what to do about that. She is very active and loves to be outside. She also loves taking Riley's toys from him and running away, laughing, as fast as she can. Then, when Riley catches her, she screams bloody murder. She's a little crazy! But we love her. I do have pictures to post, but I haven't downloaded them from my camera to the computer, and I don't know where the wire for that is! As soon as I find it, pictures galore, baby. Till then, take care everyone!

Wow, I am so impressed with Riley, what a smart kid. It sounds like you have worked hard with him. I hate moving, but its so nice to finally be close to being done, and to have a place of your own.

Yeah! I am so happy for you guys. I can't wait to see pics. I can't believe Riley can spell and on the verge of reading. That is awesome. I am glad you guys are happy and getting settled.

How exciting! I cant wait to see pics! Moving is such a pain, huh? But its nice to have a change sometimes. Sounds like your kids are hilarious. And good job on breeding genious babies. That's really impressive for his age.
