One month later...

The move went as smoothly as it could have.  In hindsight, there are always things you wish you could do differently.  Not everything is unpacked, but everything we need is.  We need to pick up some bookcases and I need to thin out clothing.  There are still bits and odds and ends that need to come in and they are, little by little.

Money has been a little tight because along with a move, we have to replace a dryer.   There was a washer and dryer in the house when we got here, but the dryer did not work.  We called the mgnt company only to find out they were abandoned by the previous tenants, and were not included in the lease.  So we would have to replace it.  So one day, after Greg got the reimbursement check for the move, we went to some of the stores, pricing.  We went into Best Buy on a whim and found a Maytag Bravos that was open box, and one tiny dent near the bottom, and was black.  The original price was almost $1100, but it was going for $500.  Couldn't quite pass that up.  So now am the proud owner of one of these.  I have been very happy with it so far.

The kids start school on the 4th!  I was so shocked.  They seem to have more time off during the year and get out the same time that Wellington schools do.  We haven't done too much exploring of Denver yet, but we did find the library.  I am hoping next week to explore a little more.  When the kids have their week off in October I would like to take them to the Denver Art Museum.  They have a King Tut exhibit visiting through January.  Then there is always the Natural History museum and the zoo.

I haven't been doing much stitching.  I was working on tatting for a while and now I am fixing Patrick's bankie.   I had originally crocheted it for Rebekah before she was born, but it was a bit warm for a baby born in April and I ended up using a different blanket.  When Patrick was born in late September, this came in really handy.  It is a ripple pattern and he had chewed on a couple of points and it was unravelling from the foundation end.  Thankfully I still had some of the yarn I used and I can fix it.  When I finish it, I will be making curtains for the bedrooms, unless I find some sweet deals somewhere.

I guess that's really all there is to update.  Will talk to you all later!
