just an old vagabond these days....

Well, we're still (im)patiently waiting to move into our house.  I talked to the housing office yesterday morning and our leasing agent told me that the house was going into turnover maintenance yesterday.  So, we're supposed to get an official move-in date today.  I'm thinking it will be within the week.  If not, I may lose my mind.  :)  But, I will say, the temporary lodging facility that we're in is very nice.  It's a two bedroom apartment that's fully furnished and has a full kitchen.  So, life isn't too bad.

I drove by our house last week and I love it and our neighborhood!  We're actually right off base in the largest base housing neighborhood.  It has playgrounds on just about every corner, a community pool, and large open space for picnics and festivals.  There's also a great farmers' market every Thursday this summer and fall in one of those big open spaces.  It's going to be great.  I just can't wait!

I'm working on finding a new babysitter for Max.  One thing I'm going to check out this Friday is a fellow military wife who is a licensed and insured in-home childcare provider sponsored by the base.  She has to have her house inspected once a month and serve certain kinds of foods.  It's also limited to six children at a time.  She lives in the neighborhood we're moving into.  I'm on the fence about this but I'm going to go check it out and meet her to see what it's all about.  It would just be for random appointments that I have when I can't take Max and Christian isn't home.  But, I still need to find another babysitter for date-nights and stuff like that.  So, I'm on the search.

Also, we're planning on starting Max in pre-school this fall for two mornings a week.  I toured the school earlier this year and it's great.  I know Max would love it and I think he'd learn a lot.  It's called The Goddard School.  They're nationally recognized and very structured.  So, I just have to figure out the best time for him to start.  We're planning on going to Europe again this fall so I may just wait until after we get back since we'll most likely be gone for a couple of weeks.

Well, that's about all I have for now.  I'll post again once we get in our house and include some pics!
