About 2054 Miles

In February 2007, my husband and I packed up all our belongings, drove 2054 miles and moved from California to Iowa. This blog is about my and my husband's adventures, which mainly now feature our two boys- 5 year old Rex and 3 year old Wyatt.

Table For 4

Our new table was delivered this week!



It is so nice. So is Wyatt's new Space Saver Highchair that we had to buy because our old full-size one no longer fit in the dining area. Now I need to find a new impermeable vinyl tablecloth so the boys don't destroy the new table. There are already sticky handprints all over the table where the two of them sit.

The new table and finding related accessories has been the big excitement for the week. We are on the hunt for a new garage door but not sure what to do. All I know is I really don't want the standard raised panel garage door that everyone uses these days. It looks fine on newer homes but I just think they look weird on old homes like ours because they don't go at all. I think something like this, in the Westfield design, would be great. Lots of decisions still to make but we are working on it.

Wyatt is getting better and better about eating. This week I've gotten him to eat some Cheerios, ground beef and rice. Baby food doesn't really seem to get him excited but he does okay eating bits of whatever we are eating. He also does a lot better if he can feed himself. I decided yesterday that I've had it with changing Rex's diapers and so we are now working on using the potty. He gets ADD though as soon as he gets in the bathroom (toilet paper! curtain! towel! sink!) so it's tough to get him to focus on the task at hand. He isn't telling me when he needs to go either so we just keep trying every hour or so. It's very time consuming which is tough with a baby in the house that needs a lot of attention too. We'll get there, hopefully sooner rather than later!
