Settling back into life in Wa

Well its been two weeks now and we are adjusting back to life in Wa. We have had some really nice days followed by some cold wet days. Currently its raining :( I much prefer the sunny days. We have had a chance to see our friends and family and those were by far the best days. The kids had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa and their cousin Dawson when we first got back up here. Dan and I were able to get most of the house set up in that first couple of days. The kids had to cut their visit short when Grandma got sick but they went back over last week for a couple of days. Dan and I spent that time relaxing and then finishing up some more unpacking. We are about 95% moved in now. We still have a little bit to do but it will have to wait for now.
Dan left this morning, back to The Grand Canyon for the week. He will be back Friday night for the weekend and then heads back out next Monday to North Dakota for about two weeks. It will be nice to have him home for the weekend though. On Saturday we will be celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary. How the time flies by. It doesn't feel like six years already! Tom is going to come pick the kids up on Friday night so we can go out this year. Last year we had a great night in with the kids. This year we are going to go out to a restaurant called Lola's in Seattle. It should be a lot of fun and really good food. Not sure what we are going to be doing for Mother's Day yet. But I suppose I should figure that out. Maybe I will just take the day off and relax since Dan will be gone for the next two weeks afterwards.
I have yet to take any pictures of the new place but I will soon. We are loving the new house. Its just perfect for our family. The kids are doing a really good job cleaning up after themselves as are Dan and I. This is the first time that we have lived this long in a clutter free house! We love it and hope to keep up the good work.
The kids and I went and picked up some bird food and a hummingbird feeder today. So far no birds have come to visit but it has been raining all day. Hayden planted a red bell pepper start this afternoon and Phedora planted a tomato start. They loved playing in the dirt. Its funny because since we have been back they have started bringing in bugs and worms. The little pill bugs are Hayden's favorite and Phedora's favorite is the worms.
Not much else to report on as of now. We are planning on going to story time tomorrow and the Children's Museum sometime this week. Phedora keeps asking to go to the mall so we may go take a walk at the mall sometime as well.
