Everyone knows that Strider and I moved away from our parents, friends, and home just a few months after I found out I was pregnant.  Brilliant right?  Right. However, we had the good fortune of moving to a town full of people who love us.  We have family AND friends.  We are so lucky that those friends treat us like family.  Jacque and Doug have been excited about Moxie, very giving of their time and attention, and have just been wonderful.  We appreciate them so much.  

On the topic of Jacque and Doug being good to us… Moxie has finally moved to her own room, into her crib and out of her bassinet.  Well, I shouldn’t say “her” bassinet.  The bassinet that Moxie spent her first 14 weeks of life in is a family bassinet lent to us by Jacque and Doug.  The bassinet has a long history and we are happy to have been a part of it.  I can’t believe she’s outgrown it.  I will miss all her weird sleeping sounds but I admit–I am sleeping much better these days.

Today was Jess’s first day back at work and Moxie’s first (almost) full day at Rita’s.  Bibi is here helping with the transition (taking Moxie to Rita’s and picking her up) so Jess and Strider can get their schedules set.

Moxie comes home smelling like curry and very happy.  We really like Rita and she loves Mox.  This is going to be a really tough week but Bibi and Rita are making it much easier.

Jess only cried three times today.  Hopefully we can cut it down to two tomorrow.
