Trying to reconnect
Well, my friends who were so kindly helping me to unpack the kitchen just left. My grandma and an aunt are coming this afternoon to help some more. So, I'm left here in the house by myself for the first time. It's put me in a pensive mood.
We're both missing Pittsburgh like crazy. Especially not being there for church on Sunday
I know I've neglected this blog shamefully lately. But I want to stay connected with people. I feel very disconnected, but that always happens to me when I move somewhere new. If you're reading this, say hi!!!
So, hopefully, there'll be some upcoming entries on babies, our recent trip to NYC, and life back in the deep south.
We met our neighbors on each side of our house--we live in a triplex. They're all really nice. Turns out the neighbors on one side are homeschooling their two extremely energetic and not-shy-at-all boys. The family invited us to their next Sunday cookout. On the other side is a nice couple who's moving soon. We put out empty boxes on our back porch for the moving family as we unpacked them.
Eating dinner, we saw our five year old neighbor with his nose pressed against the glass of our back porch door, arms waving excitedly as he tried to shout something to us through the glass. We opened it, and found out that he and his older brother wanted our boxes. We gave them a few as long as it was okay with their mom. I think they took more than their parents could handle, as I saw them dragging a bunch of boxes back to our porch later on.
That night, as we were leaving to find a local coffee shop, the boys were still outside. The five year old said, "Can I tell you sumfin'?" "Sure." "There's a cat under thewe [pointing to the crawlspace under our house] and we're twying to wescue it!" His older brother was armed with a flashlight which he diligently shone through the hole in the crawlspace.
If I were a cat, I might be hiding under there, too.
