Settling in
Just wanted to share that I spent the Saturday that I have been thinking about for so long. Walked three minutes to the bus stop with Luca, Mimi in her Maya wrap. Rode the bus into town and walked to the post office. Then, walked to the Farmer's Market. Enjoyed lemonade, fresh flowers, raw honey, getting free ears of corn, unbelievable tomatoes and the bustling crowd. Wandered down to Boulder Creek to cool off and throw rocks while Mimi napped. Rode the bus home. Ate lunch and then walked two minutes to the pool. Somehow, it felt like I had so much more time to be with the kids, talking, sharing, investigating, without the hassle of getting in and out of the car and focusing on driving. It was really delightful, despite the heat.
Luca has shared with me that he thinks our old house is sad. We are visiting our old house Monday, so we will check it out. We will all be doing better when the sickness passes, and the house gets cleaned up. For now, I think we would all agree that we won't be moving again for a long time.
