First Week at our New Home

Mommy did get a chance to check out the local farmer's market and bought a bunch of veggies & a watermelon. It is not as big as the one at our old home, but is sufficient. Friday night, we all went downtown to a gelato shoppe. Mmmmm! Gelato! Isabel loved it too. We had to tag-team her. While one would give her a bite of theirs, the other would take there own bite and then switch. One of the fun things about moving is that we have a whole bunch of new restaurants to try.
Auntie Phanie & Uncle J came over for a visit today. They came over and we made semi-homemade pizza (used a pizza crust we bought and put on our own toppings) and also semi-home raspberry pound cake (bought a pound cake and then made a raspberry sauce and fresh whipped cream.) We played outside wih them a lot. Uncle J kept trying to psych out the dog, but after a bit she did catch on.


We went to Olive Garden in Brookfield with Auntie Phanie & Uncle J. We were there shortly after 5pm and we still had a 30-40 minute wait. That's crazy. All of us got the unlimited pasta bowl and tried a few things (our own & each other's) Isabel loved all of it. She is a big fan of pasta.

This is a picture from today (Sunday). It is of the first room you see when you walk in house. We use it as a playroom & office. We have a twin bed set up in here, so that is one of the extra beds. We also have a third bedroom that has a queen size bed in it. We can close the door off to this room. So, you see three different views of the room. I bought a couple of push toys (stroller & shopping cart) from someone on craigslist for Isabel. She just loves them. She makes a motor sound when she pushes them, just like I do when I push her in her car outside.

Today we went and toured the local YMCA. We decided to join. It was pure torture to Isabel to walk through all the rooms of fun things and not get to play. So, while mommy asked a bunch of questions and filled out paperwork, daddy took her into the "Prime Time" playroom and played. That room is for parents and kids under 7 to play. There are tubes & slides in there and lots of different play sets, toys, and train sets. She had a blast. After we came home and she took a nap, then supper, and then back to the YMCA where we played in the pool area. They have a waterpark in one of their pool areas, which is nice. They also have a bunch of wat toys out to play with, which Isabel loved. Then we went back to the playroom and played a little bit more until we asked if she was tired and she made the sing for tired and kept making it as we were leaving. It's neat that she keeps learning the signs we are teaching her.
