New Horizons

So many things happening for us lately. We are moving out of our first family home this weekend. Bittersweet. We have been wanting to get a bigger place ever since we moved in, finding out 4 days before we moved up to Akron that we were expecting. After already signing our lease on a modest 1bd/1ba. Now that it is here, I am extraordinarily sad. This is where Henry was when he was 5 weeks old, until the day we brought him home from the hospital. The home where he slept in his first crib, he rolled over for the first time, the only place he has ever known. Yes, I know we are speaking of a 4 month old. But never in my life have I wanted to stay in the same place, until now. Now I get it. Now I know why people move, why they want a house before they have children, why they want their home to be one they live in for many many years. :(

Regardless, the new place is bigger, better and holds a brighter future for us all. Henry will have his own big boy room, Pappa Clouse will have a place for his home office, I will have a sunroom for my reading, and tea drinking. It will be so great for our budding family.

Kev's career is taking off for him, and I am so very happy for him, I have settled into my nook of being a momma. Henry is growing like a weed, rolling over, trying to talk, standing up, trying to walk, trying to crawl, blowing bubbles, everything! He is such a big boy. We have met some new friends, things seem to be bright for us. We are finally getting our heads above the water. It feels great!

I have been perused after for jobs as well. Something I am considering at a distance. It would have to be a great opportunity, I dont want to let another one go again, so timing is everything. I am warming up to the idea. I would still like to wait until Henry is 1 year old, not breastfeeding and his cows milk allergy is under control. I want him to be walking and more mobile. I have a few interviews set up in the next few weeks. We will see how this all pans out. No rush for sure.

I just felt like typing a quick update while resting during packing. Boy wont I be glad when we are done packing and unpacking! My lil bugger just woke up from his daily afternoon nap, I must go get him and make up a bottle :)
