All smiles

Three month old Henry wasn't the only one who was all smiles today. For the first time in weeks we didn't have to load up the car with stuff and drive anywhere with it. Sam and Julia didn't have to leave the house. Instead they spent the morning playing with Grandma and Grandpa while Brian and I went to our park orientation. After Henry's photo shoot we spent the rest of the day as a family. Playing, unpacking, hanging more curtains, reading stories - all baby steps towards having a stable life. One big step towards having more time to spend as a family occurred yesterday when Brian was offered a new job 10 minutes from our new house. He'll now be able to spend up to 4 hours with us in the evenings instead of getting home after the kids are in bed. We may still be sleep deprived (and not making much progress on catching up since Sam was up every 1 1/2 hours last night throwing up) but we collapse into bed with smiles on our faces.
