Settling in

Dan has been home for one week now, our visitors have all left and I start work on Monday.  We are all officially settling in here in Gainesville, VA.

Ophelia and Bosley love the grass but with temperatures 90-105F and high humidity they have not been able to just hang out like they want to.  Bosley has trouble getting down the stairs so we decided to get an invisible fence and give them a chance to walk out the front yard and side yards

My dad bought us a beautiful 55" TV that makes watching Star Wars that much easier!   Dexter loves to dress up like a jedi complete with sharpie marks on his face to look more like Darth Maul.

Even the compost worms are settling in to our new home.  We will eventually plant some flowers, trees, etc around the yard and these little guys will help reduce our trash waste and feed our garden.

Dexter really likes his new school.  Here are some things he did this week.  Built a structure out of sugar cubes and icing, built shapes out of straws and pipe cleaners like the pyramid, and made lots of animals like snakes.  Next Friday they have another field trip this time to Leesburg Animal Park and Daddy is going to be one of the chaperones!  We are in the process of getting him into the county speech therapy program as well.  We gave them his New Mexico report and filled out some paperwork, they should call next week to schedule an evaluation of him and see if he needs more therapy. 

The playroom is coming together also.  We have my desk and chairs for coloring.  All the puzzles and toys are set up.

This week we installed the garage door openers, ceiling fans in most rooms, set up the home gym and many other little things.  I start work Monday morning and Dan has one more week off before he starts back on the 29th.  Hopefully this weekend we will finally check out the pool, it is hot out there!
