Here are a few more pictures of our time in our two week rental on Colusa Ave...
... where the kids had lots of cuddles and fun with Kristin and Polly.
Kristin went away for a couple of days and left Polly with us. Here is Madeleine reading a story to Polly...
... and here Madeleine put a luggage strap over her, dolly, and Polly and said she had buckled them all in for their airplane ride.
There have been a few nights when Madeleine doesn't want to fall asleep in her bed, but wants to read Curious George by herself on the couch. Eventually she lies down with the book under her and falls asleep.
On Feb 1st we moved into our new home! It was deliciously sparse for about a week and the kids loved having the entire house as a playroom.
This IKEA easel was on the side of the street with a "free" sign on it, so M has been having fun using it for painting and drawing, although she would rather paint the easel itself than any paper.
After a week of eating, sleeping, and playing on the floor, my parents arrived with a UHaul truck of goodies for us. Ross helped Grampa assemble a temporary table...
... and Madeleine used this little rocking chair to nurse her dolly. This is a little chair that my sister and I had growing up.
Ross has started to make a "cheeeeese" face for pictures, and he loves the little table that Grampa built.
Our new couch was also ready for us while my parents were here, and my parents brought us the piano from their house, so our living room is no longer an empty playroom. My parents flew back today, but we have my sister coming back in a week, and then Steve's sister and her family are coming in March. It's so wonderful to have family close enough for all these visits!
