getting settled in

With Mason napping next to me, I thought it would be a good time to catch up. Things are finally calming down around here. For the first few days, it felt like I was on vacation, especially since we are staying in a hotel, we eat out every day, and we explore the city. It's finally starting to hit home that we are here for good, well atleast for the next 3 to 5 years.

We have some family friends in Bakersfield. I have known Bill & Peggy Boyer for almost 20 years now. They were in my parents sunday school class at Tallowood years ago, also lived in Katy and switched to Kingsland Baptist when we did. They moved out to Bakersfield about 4 years ago due to Mr. Boyer's job. As soon as we learned we were moving out here, I emailed Mrs. Boyer to ask as many questions I could about the city, churches, and any other details I needed information on. She was so helpful and told us to call as soon as we got out here. Sunday evening they invited us over to their house for dinner. It was so nice to see a friendly face. They were able to give some great advice and suggestions about Bakersfield.

Monday I decided to take it easy and just relax and do nothing. It's been the first time I have done that since the week before Thanksgiving. Mason & I just played, took naps and played some more until Adam got home.

Adam said he had a good first day and he stayed plenty busy. I know it's hard for him being away from Mason, especially since he was home with us for the last 6 months. There aren't many dads that get to spend the first 6 months of their sons lives with them day in and out.

The movers arrived with my car today and the extra stuff we requested they bring to the hotel. I know Mason will be glad to have his new carseat back, as well as his exersaucer. It is definitely hard entertaining a little boy all day, especially when most of his toys and books are packed in a storage unit until we move into a house.
