I'm back

Well, we have moved into our new house now. We looooove it! But we are definitely still in the middle of chaos. We got hooked up to the internet yesterday so now I can give the answer to the little quiz in the previous post. The Schulzes were right... Kid A is Aiden, Kid B is Hannah and Kid C is Kiera.
Today we are having an at home day while the girls recover from colds. It seems that when it rains it pours! The day after we moved Kiera hurt her foot (fortunately it doesn't seem to be badly hurt and she is able to walk on it again), Hannah got a cold, and we found out that Aiden needs to go for an ultrasound for a "clicky hip". I can't really complain though. We have a very good baby who sleeps well at night and eats very well. The girls are adjusting well to their new brother. He is like a celebrity around here with his fan club stopping by every now and then to give him a kiss and a hug. Hannah is very excited about the new house, where she gets her own room again. Someone asked her the other day if she misses the old house and she answered "NO" without any hesitation. Kiera has been a bit stressed with all the changes and her limited understanding of what it all means. She has started stuttering the past few weeks and is frustrated with herself for that. She has really tried to be brave in all of it though and reassures me "Mommy I'm happy!" We love our new neighbourhood. Within hours we had met three of our neighbours and they have been incredibly welcoming. The previous owners had left us a huge pile of garbage and the neighbours were practically racing to see who would take it to the dump for us. Apparently the previous people were not a good fit in the neighbourhood with their teenaged kids. And everyone was very excited to see that I was pregnant when we came to look at the place a few months ago. There is another newborn baby next door and Hannah has begun making friends with the kids across the lane. Such a change from our last neighbourhood. We are also enjoying the quiet, being away from MacLure Rd, and Hannah has loved the empty streets for riding her new bike on.
