SETTLING IN!




We made it to the farm! The last 2 weeks have been spent unpacking and organizing, figuring out how to fit 3, soon-to-be 4, bodies into two bedrooms, 3 closets and 1 bathroom! In the meantime, Rylan has been having a blast swimming, playing with the millions of tools in the shop/shed/barn; petting the horses, riding tractors and golf carts, and walking the dog. He has cracked us up with new phrases such as - "Nope, not gonna do it", "I just have one question for ya", "Oh, snap!" and "Man, this is crazy!" We've since figured out that most of these are quotes from his favorite movies Chicken Little or Veggie Tales, but he seems to use them appropriately! Yesterday at home depot, a young black man stood in front of us at the checkout, wearing jeans sagging hideously down on his bum, boxers showing and no shirt. Rylan started shouting - "He have no clothes on, he have no clothes on!"

Meanwhile, Chris has abandoned us for two weeks to go houseboating and waterskiing with his family in Washington state. They'll be having a blast!

Stay tuned for more!
