New, New, New

As we start life in a new house we are confronted with a lot of new things. We have a new ward, new neighbors, new callings (Brandon is the new young men's president), new piano students (I am now up to 9 or 10. YEAH!!!)... And, then there is the "happy" new messes, new expenses, and new confusions.
I am still opening all the wrong drawers and forgetting all the things I thought I knew (like the fact that we were out of toilet paper) These things I guess get lost among the shuffle of moving and settling. Luckily for us, we had so much help with the moving part that all we have to worry about is the settling. The saddest thing for me has been the realization that just because I have a new house, all my old messes haven't miraculously vanished. I am still the same messy person. That's a bummer. Good thing something like that can be changed. I start flylady tomorrow.
Fall is a busy time as well for us, and so all the new has to take a side step to all the current I guess you could say. Our house, which basically just means me and the kids, are sick with a cold. It is canning time and we canned jam for the first time all by ourselves the other day. (We've canned many times before, just not solo) We got apples from Brandon's parents and plan to do applesauce, pie filling, and apple butter, come tomorrow. I am excited for that!
All of the new in our lives is wonderful. Except...we do miss our old neighbors just a bit. Our neighborhood, however, is great! We can walk to the park and library in under 5 minutes, which we all love. Our new ward is promising to be nice. We are excited to LOVE it. Another, and might I add the current best new in our lives, is our bedroom arrangement. Since the two rooms are so close and our two munchkins are sharing a room, Kameryn Grace has been going to bed and sleeping through the night all by herself! GOT TO LOVE THAT!!
More updates and pictures to come as time allows. (I did find one of our two cameras....I just keep forgetting to pull it out of Brandon's truck)
