Building permit... this, and that.
On Thursday November 22nd we actually FINALLY applied for our building permit. We should get our permit in 10 days. Our house was assigned a street address and I actually had a tear in my eye. It has been such a long process to get to this point that getting an address actually made it feel like putting a house on the property would be possible.
Last night Friday November 23rd was a girls night out.
I didn't realize how much I needed that. The mommy group went to Kelsey's and enjoyed appetizers and drinks and good conversation. Brian was so nice this morning. I slept in until 11am. It was marvelous! Thanks Brian! Then in the afternoon we decided we would take the kids skating. Hadley has been taking lessons since September and we see progress each week but today we allowed her to use the metal skate assist (that we brought for Easton) and you should have seen her confidence to try things out. It was amazing. She was gliding and attempting to skate on one foot. She made up a game to skate with the assister and then glide it over a tipped pylon and then try to skate after it. There were races and lots of fun. Plus by the end she was SO much faster without it. Easton also loved being on the ice. We worked on just getting him to stand on his own. We have more work to do. :) He loved skating around with us holding him and he was very stable just walking around the dressing room in his skates. It was nice to spend the day together as a family.
Easton says the word WATCH so clearly now and he really means that he wants to you to watch him do something. Lately it is watching him jump with two feet. He gets lots of air. He is quite a good jumper. He also likes us to watch him do cart wheels. (He puts one foot in the air).
This week Hadley almost made it half way up the rope at gymnastics.
Hadley has a new assignment for home reading from school. We tried it out tonight for the first time. Instead of reading 5 books a night she is to read 1 book, write her name, write the name of the book down, then write one thing about the book she liked and draw a picture. Seemed to go well tonight!
The house is a mess but life is happening.
