"Hayden's House"

Hope everyone had a happy holiday! As expected, we were extremely busy. Some good things, some not so. But hey, that is the way life goes. Roll with the punches, take a couple extra low blows every once in a while, and move on.

We have officially moved all of our belongings into the new house. Amanda already broke the dishwasher; pops and I already broke in the Weber; and Hayden has already grown accustomed to calling it "Hayden's house". From what we can tell, he thinks mommy and daddy's house is the apartment in Washington. In his mind, Grandpa Jack lives in "Hayden's house" too. Maybe I won't pay the electric bill next month at "Hayden's house". I'm sure after a day of not being able to watch Barney I will be able to move in too. Amanda is on her own for moving in.

I cannot even begin to describe the joy it brings to us to see Hayden in the house. He is so happy. Happy enough to even run up to his room, shut the door and play with all of his toys. If you walk past his room when the door is open, he will shut it in your face when he notices. Sort of a nice "get out my room, dad!" He also figured out how to lock the bedroom door...even better that if he held the button down, you couldn't unlock it with the key. Amanda said she could hear a giggle as she tried to open it. I love it. Most of the light switches are within is reach (that means Grandma Cheryl will be able to reach them too) so when I came downstairs Saturday morning, every light was on. Energy company will love him!

More to come later, out of time for today. Just wanted to get something up in 2010! Happy New Year everyone!!!
