1 move down...1 to go!

It's been a while since we've posted, but I swear we have a good excuse! How does packing up & moving a family of 4 sound? We've made it into our two bedroom apartment, which is working out ok so far. We were more than a bit trepedatious about the boys sharing a room for the first time, but they have adapted very well. In fact, the first night we stayed in the apartment was interrupted by crying not from one of our children, but from our cat. Lincoln cried obnoxiously from about 4 am until about 5:30 or so. He's a punk. The crying has subsided somewhat, but the cats are still trying to make it clear that they do not think moving is a fun event. Little do they know that we'll be doing it all over again in about 6 weeks...

On that note, the new house is coming right along. Stu checked in on it yesterday, and the first coat of stucco is on the exterior. On the inside, the drywall is up, and the texture seems to be completed. It should be time for the trim work to get started! We can't wait to see our tile, cabinets, countertops, etc. It's really starting to sink in that we'll be living there soon! We closed on the sale of our old house on Monday, so we're ready to go. With any luck we won't have any major construction delays, and we should still be looking at a closing date in early June. We'll try to take some new pictures of the house and post them in the next few days.

Luckily, the weather has been lovely here, although we have had quite a bit of wind. With temperatures in the 70's and low 80's, it's been nice enough to spend time outside with the boys. We hear that some of our loved ones are still getting snow, so we do feel fortunate! New Mexico does have its perks! Sunshine and green chile are nothing to sneeze at. If you are still digging out of a snowdrift or two, keep your chins up! I'm sure it will be gone by June! :)

We hope you're finding ways to enjoy spring in your neck of the woods. Take care, and stay in touch!
