first days

we've moved all our stuff over to our new house now. we're currently living among boxes, but on the whole have been able to put our hand to what we need pretty well. eamon slept through the night last night, so i think he's adjusting well. he LOVES the backyard. he's been over to the park a few times, but is just as happy in the backyard. it's interesting how a neighbour cultures vary because of subtle differences. we've noticed that the playground at our park is often vacant, while at skeleton park it's always in use. but that's because most of the kids in kingscourt have their own backyard and many have their own play structures. i'm sure we'll still go to the park a lot. i like the community aspect of that.

our room faces the park and sometimes at night i think i heard people playing in the park. i don't know if that's actually happening or if i'm imagining things. this morning, when i got up for work, the field was all foggy and the sun was glistening on the dew. it was a lovely scene.

having a kitchen table is blowing our minds. we often have to remind ourselves that it exists. i'm a little worried that we won't use our living room as much because we eat in the dining room and my computer is in our bedroom. but our living room is so lovely that it would be a shame to not use it very much. we got this really nice new couch on kijiji on saturday, and on the whole, the room is coming together really nicely.

i think i'll have to paint our bedroom. i thought it was cream coloured, but it's actually plain white :S it's not even a warm white. i always find plain white like that makes me feel like my brain is going to implode.
