Georgia Shields: We're Back!

I haven't forgotten about Georgia's blog! Sorry for the delay in posting, but I'm still getting settled and organized in our new home. We LOVE our house! It's so nice to finally have SPACE. Georgia loves running around from room to room. She has her own little picnic table in the kitchen where she eats her breakfast and lunch. For dinner we actually get to eat at our dining room table like a normal family. We finally have a table!! We still have a lot of decorating to do and odds and ends, but it's coming along nicely.

Georgia is now in a good little routine. She has a Spanish music class on Mondays down in our old neighborhood. We love that because afterwards we get to do our weekly shopping at the Social Safeway. (Our new Safeway is quite pathetic.) On Wednesdays we go to Music Together. What's great about that is the class is RIGHT NEXT DOOR. We are lucky to have one of the best parks for kids her age within walking distance. We hit that park A LOT. She loves it!

A big transition came only a few days after we moved in. Georgia is in a big girl bed! She sleeps in my bed from my childhood. We didn't even set the crib up in the new house. She climbed out of the pack and play while we were living at Nana Matt's house. She transitioned with no issue at all into the big girl bed. No big deal!

We joined Blessed Sacrament church and are trying to get involved. I am a teachers aide in the 6th grade Sunday school class. I have met some really nice people and am enjoying being part of that community. The church has a great children's mass that Georgia likes.

We had our first visitors! (Not counting Nana Joan and BB who helped us move in.) Meredith and Mallory came to DC! It was so nice seeing the two girls together. I'd like to get them together more often as they had a blast together.

Nana Joan and BB were HUGE helps with the move. We couldn't have done it without them. They even stayed longer than planned as they saw how much help we needed. It sure isn't easy unpacking when there's a wild toddler running around.

Nana Matt has been able to spend the night a couple times in order to babysit. A huge help that we didn't have in the condo. It's so nice to be able to have her stay over!

Georgia is really a sweet little girl. She hugs her friends and leans into them when she wants a kiss. She is so much fun. She's also trained quite well. She goes down for her nap and night night with no problem whatsoever. She likes her routine.

Sorry for the delay in posting, again. I will try to be better! Enjoy the photos of our little dolly!
