Denver Moving-No furniture week

-

We are still in our new house. My mom has arrived (happiness!!!!!) and my husband has left for the week to work in El Paso (sadness). We still have no furniture, but it is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
Many things are not right in the house. My friend Cheris always rolls her eyes and says "Granada!" when things are weird and not easily explained in their adopted city in Spain. We say, "Val!", the name of the previous owner, who is lovely and wonderful, but who made very odd choices, like the hole in the bathroom where the medicine cabinet used to be which was covered by a painting nailed over it. I really think she thought it a home improvement choice.
Michael spent all last weekend assembling Ikea furniture. He is amazing. He also hung curtains as NONE of the curtains in then house are usable. Mom and I shop and buy and shop and buy and putter and clean.
The kids have made friends in the neighborhood and are building endless forts in our empty living room with all of them using our outdoor couch cushions and our blow up bed. They love the neighborhood and their new friends. They are happy!
The night before Michael left we all went to the downtown Littleton block party which was amazing with several hilarious bands and lots of beer and wine and food and buskers and people. Unfortunately, it poured down rain with thunder and lightning and we all had to run through the rain for blocks to get to the car and were soaking wet by the time we got there. It was definitely an adventure!
The dogs are not so happy and keep escaping. We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our handyman tomorrow for the never ending list of jobs we need help with.
We took yesterday off from work and went to downtown Denver where we toured the Molly Brown house, rode the shuttle down the 16th Street Mall, ate lunch in Latimer Square and browsed the Tattered Cover bookstore, before racing home to find the dogs as they had escaped again and only one had been found by the neighbor. Luckily they were both fine when we got home. Sigh.

Kitchen cabinet resurfacing, or cabinet refacing, has become a major business in the last 10 years because it saves people money when they do not have to have all new cabinetry installed. See more here http://kabinetpros.com/

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
