Nothingness

I did nothing of consequence today. It was a normal day. Miscellaneous unpacking, moving boxes, phone calls, transcribing, and taking care of you know who. We tried to go to the playground, but apparently he's not interested. We did swing a little but he tired of that quickly.

Today's Events

My BIL came today to work on various jobs around my new house. He worked on the electrical in the bedrooms--but couldn't finish it today... He also remeasured and figured out a better way to do my cabinets in the kitchen which also = cheaper! Yay! Oh, and I finally can put up curtains in the office and our bedroom, that way my Romanian neighbors (there's three or four men and one woman--a family, I hope!) won't be able to see in at night. Phew! ;-)

C and I went back to our good ole' home, the warehouse, and cleaned up for my sister. She was glad for that. It's nice in there without all our junk covering the whole place. They had the A/C installed...the day we moved out. Go figure.

I started planning for C's homeschool preschooling. I made the plan for September and it's very exciting for me! He will be learning the colors: red, blue, yellow, and orange. He will also learn about "big" and "small" and the shapes: circle and square. We will do worksheets together on the objects, followed by a project that ties it all together. For example: week one he is doing circles and the color red, so our project will include both things. I plan to take him on an "outing" every Friday; stuff like the park, library, etc. as I learn what's available here, and depending on the weather. It's really nice to have the time to spend with im in this way.

I also bought trash cans today. Very exciting.

All Saints

This morning we will be attending the PCA church in Boise, All Saints Church. We have really enjoyed going here so far. The worship service is just what I am looking for. They have really nice music choices and they use multiple accompanying instruments. The service order includes responsive readings, prayer, and singing. We also take communion every week, which I am starting to really love doing; I have never done that before. The pastor's sermons are really helpful to me and I think that he is a very friendly and welcoming man. We haven't met too many people yet, but it's summer and no one is in their schedules yet. We see new people each week. We signed up for Sunday School this fall and some other activities. They have a choir for little people, we'll see how C does with that! :)
Here's their website. All Saints

The New House on Fern

We moved in today. Well, not officially, but we are going to sleep here tonight!!! We are bringing everything over and beginning to set things up as we are able. The trim needs to go up before I can actually move the furniture (what we still have, most of it was sold before we moved) into the rooms. The most important thing however is that my internet is installed and my computers are set up. Sigh. All is right with the world.



Here's some recent pictures of our life out west:
