living on a house farm

So at least part of the reason I've been blog-silent these past few months is that I've been caught up in our preparations to move and then the moving itself. There are still boxes to unpack and lots of settling in to do, but yesterday I was thinking I should at least give the blog a small taste of our new life "down south." (It's just an hour south of Boulder, but to some Boulderites it might as well be New Mexico.)

Here are a couple of pics of Caleb playing with his dada in our first ever backyard!


And here's a pic of the two of them napping in Caleb's new giraffe room.


Caleb hasn't been sleeping as well as usual and the middle-of-the-night wake-ups and early mornings have made him one tired (and grumpy) guy.


But he enjoyed our short walk to a neighborhood playground yesterday! You can't really see it too well in this picture, but it's at the other side of the lake. Not too shabby.


So how's life in suburbia? So far, so good. I'm looking forward to being more settled, to Caleb's sleep getting back to normal and his grumpiness lessening, and to my parents being our first official house guests at the end of the month!

(stay tuned for more photos of the house...)
