Settling in …….. again!!

Well it seems that we have been settling in here in the StG for quite a while now. Well the reality of it is that we now at it again or still depending on how you want to look at it. When we first moved down here we were under the gun in finding a place to live and ended up in a way too small place. This little place was decent but we just didn’t fit in it. We were cramped in every room. There was absolutely no room to any of us to do anything without being on top of someone else. But for whatever the reason we needed to be in this place, and we made it work for the school year.
This school year brought a number of changes to the Innes gang. The biggest and most important was the newest addition to the gang. Bauer joined us Apr. 15 weighing in a solid 10lbs. and now that he is 3 months old he is close to the 20lb and still getting bigger and cuter everyday.
Cooper is an animal he is all boy he turns everything he picks up into either a ching-ching (sword) or a pew-pew (gun). He can’t wait for his little brother to get old enough to play, and all day long he hears the word NO! Most of the time he doesn’t try to be mean, but he often does enjoy teasing his sister and everyone else.
Morgan loved preschool and is really excited to go to kindergarten this fall. Well honestly it depends on the day you ask her some days she is really excited and other days she says she that she is not ever going to school. She turns 5 in a few weeks and I am wondering where the last fie years have gone. It seems to have gone by all so fast.
Corben is going into the 10th grade and he too starts at a new school. He will be attending the brand new Desert Hills High School. He understandably has mixed feeling about yet another new school, but fortunately it won’t be all completely different he has some friends that will be attending the new school with him. We hope that this is a good experience for him.
We recently moved out of the shoebox and into a house. We have a yard and a pool now. The kids especially Morgan are way excited about having our own swimming pool but more importantly we are all excited about more room. We have quite a lot more space than we had in our first St. George address. Hopefully we will be here at least until Corben graduates high school because none of are very thrilled about the thoughts of moving again in a year or anytime in the near future. So really we are still settling in again. We have more room to spread out and not be on top of each other all the time like we were but so far we are still in a pile of boxes. It just doesn’t look like as many as it did before.
