Third time is the charm

Three clogged toilets in just as many days. It's time for toilet locks at our house. Eli even clogged the ensuite with half a box of q-tips, fun times. At least he's not afraid of a flushing toilet!

Still no camera to be found...it's like finding a needle in a haystack around here.

Hold hand, come downstairs, Daddy.

We are moved in, and in the process of unpacking. We looked like hoarders for the first week with stuff in every single room. Slowly, we are getting through it all, but I think it's going to take a while. The new house is great, I even soaked in the hot tub outside last night which was awesome. That's the nice thing about having your own hot tub, you can turn it down to pregnant lady temperature.

Eli is loving the new house, he says "hi new house" and "bye new house" whenever we are coming and going. He's made big strides in the language department over the past week as well. He can almost put together full sentances and has started using the plural form of many words ("three lights mommy!). Yesterday he wanted Brent to go to the basement with him and he said " Hold hand, come downstairs Daddy" - no denying what he wanted with that one. It's fun to see his language developing and exciting for me that I can actually have somewhat of a conversation with him, it makes my day a lot more pleasant when I can talk to someone else. Even if it is about trucks and birds...better than nothing!

Our video camera and camera are packed away somewhere and I have not been able to find them (along with our shoes, I had to wear flip flops in last weeks snow) and I've missed quite a few good photo ops. Hopefully they turn up this week.

We said goodbye to the old house on Friday, and it was so strange to see it empty. I hope the new owners like it as much as we did. We're feeling like it was a really good decision to move. So far our neighbours are very friendly and we found out that our street has a yearly block party in August including bouncers and monster trucks. Sounds like fun!
