New Digs...and new creatures...

We're settling into our new home and have officially moved the last box from the Condo in Logan Square to the 'Burbs in Deerfield.  My dad spent a  good portion of a week working out in the yard (ask him about his 'Day Laborer' tee shirt) providing some TLC to our much neglected yard and meeting all of the neighbors.  I think when he comes back in a couple of weeks I'll have him introduce us!  

We're slowly getting the rooms in a livable state, in order of importance...Reagan's room and our room were first, followed by the kitchen and bathrooms.  All of the other ones will have to wait. We received an ENORMOUS family sofa from Crate and Barrel and are enjoying watching TV from it. Much to Steve's delight, the extra large sofa dwarfs the current TV so next on our shopping list is a TV to rival the seating.  

We've had some visitors for Cubs games; Lynch flew out for the Cubs v. Dodgers and Micah, Jason and Ken came out for a rooftop Twins v. Cubs.  

Reagan is getting to be SUCH a big girl!  She's cracking up all of the time and she thinks her mommy is SO funny.  Robin is one day into the summer nanny job and is already working her hard--sitting in her bumbo chair, playing in the exer-saucer and rolling over many times.  I think she's done with her growth spurt and trying to hold her bottle all by herself.  With the amount of drool coming out of her and the way she enthusiastically attacks the teethers, it seems imminent that teeth are in our near future.    She's turned out to be quite the chatterbox, yakking it up with anyone and everyone who will listen, including her Gophers hanging above her crib.  She taken to yelling when she's finished eating.
