Ok, so this has taken over two months and a LOT has happened so expect this to be part 1 of at least 2, kinda like the new GoT series, it's been a long time coming, hopefully worth the wait!
Let's break this down into events through May, so basically we're older, live slightly further South (if my thoughts are correct) have hammered our credit rating, have survived another year of school, and are now officially settled in our 1st home as a family.
Phew.
The big news is the house of course and it's fair to say we love it, as sad as we are to have had to say bye to Bill and his house, this is ours and it means so much more. Obviously we have to thank Natalie & Andy for all their work they put in here, it's clear they valued it dearly but having seen their wonderful new house it's clear that Andy loves a project or 5! :)
The move was as expected, a lot more crap accumulated over the years and some crap we even forgot to unpack from years back, work friend Jen helped by dumping off several car loads to unfortunates so expect Washington Redskins to have several outfits available soon - just teasing Jen, we know our rejects are much too good for the 'Skins. As is usual the vast bulk of the load was completed by me and the last lots fell to Paul, however we hit our deadline and got the old place in good order for the handover, so keen were the new renters to get in they were literally at the door as we concluded our tour with Bill. There's keen and then there's somewhat pushy! Never mind, good luck to them.
Ryan is no longer a 1st grader! He's delighted to be having a break from homework but he's still going to tutoring and also working hard on his library reading list, pounding the Elephant & Piggie collection. He also finished the spring baseball season, with a little less success on pure stats he's actually far better now than the fall, the reason for the fall in hitting avg is he's hitting it harder & further so the defense can make plays and that's getting him out. However he also had terrible luck on the bases as he always found a team mate to hit it directly to the base he had to run to, in fact prior to the final game I even called him out at 3rd before the player had hit the ball!
Hannah is just a typhoon of terror, on her new bed she has gone through a phase of turfing everything off but her pillow prior to falling asleep, she may be a terror but she's not dumb! Of course that smile melts most hearts and most people think she's a delight- they're the same people who live far away.
Right, for now that mini-recap will do, I will have part 2 up by the conclusion of the weekend. Promise.
