Moved to the Country

I still have very little time for myself (hope that changes in the next few months), but just had to say hello after a loooong break. We finally moved to our new home and it's great! There's still a lot to do and I'm still juggling the end of a renovation with two children. The good news is that I don't have to commute over an hour to get to the renovation. The bad news is that there are days I'm stuck inside (like today) because there are workers here and I don't want to leave them alone with all of our things.

It's been almost two weeks since the move and everyone has gotten used to being here. Today we had a nice, spontaneous "we live on 4 1/2 acres of land" moment. UPS came to drop off a package and Jackson seized the opportunity to run outside. Usually, he pees and comes right back. But Tali, still in her pajamas and socks, ran after him. So he ran some more. The two of them spent a good 20 minutes playing chase and running around half of our property. They had a blast! Eli and I watched all the action. He thought it was very funny.

Of course, when it was over I had to spend the next 15 minutes checking everyone for ticks (all clear!) but I guess it was worth it. Before Tali's nap, she told me that when she wakes up she wants to go do it again. This is why we moved here.
