New House

I am so excited! We have been house shopping for a while now and we found one that we like! We had a very nice (and patient) realtor that has been helping us out named Jason.  Our little home is in a cul-de-sac (spelling?) with one other neighbor at the moment. I hope they like us! The rest of the development is not finished yet and with the economy the way that it is who knows when it will be. But we like the quiet street and there is a street lamp close to our home. 


I love the master bathroom and closet and the laundry room is on the main floor, which I love, so those are good. As a girl those were things I looked into. Also the yard is little but nice, there will be enough room to  grow a garden, some raspberries, and a few fruit trees along the side. (And if I'm nice maybe a sandbox for Coleman ;)) 

Anyway we are very happy and excited to move in.  The hope is to move over thanksgiving break. I am excited to slowly decorate my own home and have our own space. More on this later I am sure!

Pictures

These are just a few pictures of our week.
This is Coleman in the cupboard.  It was pretting amazing. He has started to stand up on his own for seconds at a time when walking along the furniture.  So as Coleman was opening the cupboard he was balancing all by himself while he opened the door.  It is amazing to see what he learns each day.   Colemans will also sit with a book on his lap and turn the pages and "read" to himself and put a phone to his ear and "talk".  It is so cute. 


This is Coleman and his dad drawing with a pen. He has recently learned how to write with a pen and loves to scribble on paper (and whatever else he can reach). Today he had a marker and wrote on his grandmas wall before I caught him and took it away, he wasn't very happy with me.  
Halloween night we went to "boo at the zoo" it was really fun.  The three of us were all pirates. Coleman was so cute.  I was so proud of him,he didn't touch his hat all night and left it on his head, once he saw his daddy and mommy with something on their heads as well. (he's a smart kid). This is a picture of him with his grandpa. Coleman wasn't sure he wanted to go to grandpa looking like that but once he figured out who it was, Coleman didn't want to go to anyone else. 

Boo at the zoo was a fun place to go trick or treating.  Businesses from around town set up around the zoo and hand out candy. There were just little families running around, not a lot of teenagers, it was a very safe place to go. Because you have to pay admittance it limits who comes and there were also security guards walking around keeping an eye on things. My parents were there giving out candy which is the reason we went.

I just have to say, I have never seen a warmer halloween in Idaho. It is usually so cold everyone has on their coats over the costumes and this year it was warm enough that no coats were needed. It was so nice!
A few more pictures of all of us.
