Life in the 'burgh begins

I am sitting at the dining room table, drinking coffee, reading, checking email and facebook, and blogging. A normal, everyday occurrence in my life. The only difference is that I'm at my parent's dining room table three states and 8-and-a-half hours away from where I was doing this yesterday...

We arrived here in Pittsburgh last night after an uneventful trip, thank God, and got to my parent's house before Luke got home from work. My parents are on vacation in Cypress for 2 weeks so we have their house to ourselves for the time being. It's a good chance to get settled without feeling in the way, which I am grateful for but we do miss them. I'll have to be careful not to overtake too much of their space :)

Our first order of business will be to check out the local library and food co-op. The children are getting tired of just reading comics and need some new material and I am in need of some good, healthy, gluten-free food! I hope both are to our liking. We may even check out the gymnastics gym that is next door to the co-op and see about getting Lily signed up for a class.

So, life isn't so different...but it sure feels weird right now.

Thanks for sharing your blog Jackie. I'm glad you guys got there safe and sound. What an exciting new adventure! Your pics on your blog are stunning! Kyla says hi ! We will both be missing your smiling face and awesome attitude on Thursday mornings! I took your advice and am mostly all the way finished reading The Well Trained Mind. Wished I had been able to read and "digest" that book two years ago...but better late than never! I have found the information very helpful and realize I need to implement more of a schedule around here if we want to be happy and successful. I started yesterday and so far so good! Have a wonderful, blessed day! Jennifer
