We did do other things.
Christmas Tree Lane, now just a short walk from home.
Hanukkah--I love celebrating the Festival of Lights! Something about the glow of adding another candle every night till it looks like this! It's magical, and so full of meaning!
Eddie's new Christmas toy! He was thrilled! Soon after this, he decided to make walking solo is primary form of transportation. By my birthday he was officially "toddling".
By the time family left just after the new year, we were settled in at Grammy's, out of our apartment, well underway with projects at Emerson House, and pretty tired! Just a week later, friends flew across the country with a suitcase of tools and helped Jonathan replace all the electrical in just one weekend. After they left, the floors were refinished with plenty of time to dry and harden as we were off to Illinois for some much needed rest. We'll be back at it next week, with the help of my parents who are coming for a whole week to hopefully bring us that much closer to moving in!
It's been challenging, exhausting, exciting, frustrating, and amazing all at the same time! It feels right, and we know it's right!
And this guy's pretty excited about it too!
