Settling

Claire

She was very happy we went out on a walk to find a park this week because she missed going down the slides. We were wanting to be safe so we didn't let her do any of the walking even when she asked multiple times, there are sidewalks the whole way, but she wanders sometimes so she can next time now that we know the way. She is playing with her sister pretty well and I think they are getting pretty cute when they do play together especially when they are dressed up to match. We had dryer issues this week and go really low on clean laundry for a few days, but I decided to have them wear dresses since Shay is going to grow out of the cute ones soon! Claire is getting really good at helping clean up her toys before bed time so she can stay up late with mommy and daddy.

This was during our family church call

Shay

Whenever I am emptying the dishwasher, she runs to the kitchen to help me by taking out the dishes and handing them to me. She then tries to sit on the door....but at least she is trying to help right? She had fun at the park we visited and is getting better at going down the slides by herself even though she needed encouragement the first time. It would be fun to play in the water park they have next to the play ground and Shay saw it and pointed too it, but it was closed. We plan on getting a blow up tub for the back yard they can play with soon and that will fulfill their desire for the water park.

House Keeping

Since I unpacked all the boxes in the first 3 days, I've just been doing the organizing this past week in the office and kitchen. Getting things exactly where and how I want them so I can cook and Chris can do school when it starts has been important. We also applied for new drivers licenses in California and will see them in the mail soon! Only one more week until Chris starts his school and it apparently is going to be all online through Zoom since they are worried about people moving in for this school from all over and Covid-19 is still prevalent. I have noticed seeing a lot more people wearing masks in public here than when we lived in Utah and most places requires you to wear one inside buildings.
