Hola, All! Co-habitation seems to be going well! John is settling into his job, having meetings, learning about the products he will be selling. For the next 2 weeks, he is in Chicago for training. How convenient is it that he can also talk to the realtor in person, check on the condo, pack more clothes in the second empty suitcase, and it not be on his dime! I think he also plans to talk to a management company about possibly renting the condo.
In the meantime, back at the ranch in Texas, we are settling into a routine, sort of. Kim takes the baby on Wednesdays for 45 minutes to the Rosemead Rec to a class. The second gym is open to children 1-5 years old;they get to play on the mats, trampoline, and gymnastic equipment. Yesterday Ed went with them and got to be a kid again, hanging out with Austin, rolling around on the mats. Oh, what a sight that must have been!
Since Tuesday was one of Kerri's days off, she and Kim took Ed's mom out to lunch, and then did some serious shopping. Ed was working, but I got to stay home and play with the baby. He loves hiding under the dining room table, playing cards. Well, kind of. What he really does is put each one in his mouth, clamping down on it with his two front teeth. Then he turns to me so that I can grab it. (It reminds me of trying to get something out of a dog's mouth.) I hold the card, pull a little bit, until he smiles and the card comes out. This was great fun for him, as we must have repeated it at least 30 times! I don't think it'll be too long before I can teach him to play Hand and Foot!
When Kim, John and Austin first moved in, I was doing almost all of the cooking. Now that they have been here a couple of weeks, Kim is starting to cook more. The other day she made banana bread that was yummy. Yesterday she took a whole chicken, cut up 2 lemons and rubbed them in the cavity, stopped up the opening with an onion, put oil on the skin with some herbs, and baked it. It was easy and delectable!
All is going well!
