Welcome to our adventures!!!

Let me bring you up to speed with what has transpired so far and what we see ahead of us in our journey from New York to California:

Aunt Claire has sold her house (4/27/2012) and the movers have packed us up (4/28/2012) and delivered the items to the house in Cali that Aunt Claire has found for us all!  There are a few pics that we have seen but they don't give us a good feel of the new place.  Uncle Brian tried to send us a video on Facebook but it's a quick run through the house and since the video was taken with his phone the lighting was not good and it was very tough to see at times...not mentioning the fact that it posted sideways for some reason :) But it's what we have to go on for now and we are happy to have it. I'm finding it nearly impossible to upload the video so here's the screenshot from Google Maps:

Our New Home!

In the meantime...
Addison, grandma and I are still in NJ at Aunt Alice's house, we've been here since 4/30/12 after a short stop at Cathy's (Grandma's friend) house for a few days.  The car is supposed to be picked up by the transport company today and we will be sans car for a day or so before the rental car is picked up.  The flight has been booked and mommy has a HUGE stash of activities set aside for the upcoming flight but I'm still so nervous about how this will all go down!  I have to finish getting the stack of treats together before we head back to NY on Sunday.

Auntie Em is coming tonight and Addison is so darn excited to see her.  I've logged WAAAAY too many hours on Pinterest and am getting antsy to get to the new house in Cali and start getting back to normal!  Addison has lost her need to eat and mommy doesn't like that.  This is how "breakfast" was served this morning-




Allowing my child to suck down 3-4 "squeezie fruits" while lounging in a chair with Nick Jr. entertaining her is NOT my idea of breakfast.  She refused to eat a thing at the table with us and didn't even want to sit there.  She wants to have NOTHING to do food right about now....PERIOD!  So I take what I can get and am stocking up on Pediasure in the meantime.  I do go back and forth between the ideas of "Well she needs SOMETHING" and "She'll eat when she's hungry enough" so it's all on a meal-by-meal basis of what mommy deems appropriate :)


Since the weather has been awful since our arrival to NJ, we have been stuck in the house and I want to get Addie out for some walking and chalking :)  Pics to follow. 

**** Just a small side note about the President supporting same sex marriage yesterday...about time!!!  Hopefully this silliness will be a thing of the past and Jim and Andy can have an actual wedding and their little girl Grace can witness her daddies making history...again! ****
