New Park

Playing at the neighborhood park today to increase Belles happiness. We have good and bad days. Sleeping through the night has been replaced with nightmares and tears but I know it will pass. Just give it time!

Boxes line our entire house but I have told myself a box a day- start to finish, one load of laundry and one load of dishes. Start small!

Moved In

Well we are moved in! Life gets better by the minute... Especially when antibiotics are involved. Ugh. Getting sick (whole fam) while closing on two houses and moving isn't fun but we did it!

Now for the unpacking ;)

Houston Aquarium

Only two days until we close on our new home!! We off the hook from our old house tomorrow ;) so that will be a huge weight off our shoulders as we move forward in our new home!

Today we decided to have a Belle day and we went to the Houston Aquarium with Ian and his mom Cambrey. The two kids had fun as well as the moms! It wasn't a place that we will probably visit again but it was a nice day out. I guess we will save our Aquarium visits for Tulsa!!

Well wish us luck on the next few days!

Almost There

We get rid of our old house next Wednesday and close on the new house the very next day! We have the movers scheduled to deliver our stuff the same day as closing so hopefully everything goes as planned :)

Until then I will continue to go crazy in a tiny apartment. Seriously. It's sucking my the life out of me! 'Get Belle back to neutral' has sort of worked but proves to be a daily challenge. She now consistently asks for something at the old house :( including her friends. Luckily she has new friends here and hopefully that will take the pain away.

Here's to a year where we seriously believe that we will not change! I don't think Nate or I could handle it and Belle is proving the same.

Houston Zoo

I thought it would be nice to have an Isabelle day and we met friends at the Houston Zoo! The little boy is Ian...remember I would babysit him in Brazil? Yep, these two cuties are Brasilian and American citizens now living in the US!

Belle took some time to get used to the new settings but eventually warmed up. I am hoping this week I can really get her back to neutral. I feel terrible for her and like a bad mother because I can't fix it. Maybe this is the 2's everyone talks about? Maybe it's the move? Maybe it's the last of her molars (finally)?! Maybe it's the new puppy, Roscoe? Who knows for sure but I am going with the flow and deep breathing quite a bit to keep my sanity! A glass or two of wine in the evening also helps ;)
