From Rags to Riches

There has been a huge plus to this move. Here are the specs:-)
Old
2 bedrooms
1 bathroom
tiny kitchen
2 drawers in kitchen
no carpet originally
small bedrooms

New
3 bedrooms
2 full bathrooms
large kitchen
5 drawers and tons of cabinets
Carpet everywhere
large bedrooms

But even with all of this new, Madison was crying last night that she wanted to go home. She said, "I want to go to MY home." She couldn't understand this was her new home. She wasn't impressed. She ended up sleeping in our bed and we had a grand old time. She talked until 10 pm about anything and everything. At one point she was doing 'creepy mouse' (running one finger over face very lightly) to Brian while whispering "go to sleep". She talked about night lights, going on a big plane to see grandma, her desire to go in a boat on the river, all sorts of stuff. She was so funny. We truly enjoyed the fun we were having and she finally fell asleep after a FEW hours:-)

HOORAY FOR YOUR MOVE!!! Your new place sounds AWESOME (minus the little girl who wouldn't sleep....) hopefully she will adjust and you guys will be in heaven for the next few months!

Did your phone number change? I would love to chat today...let me know!

I'm sure this move has been hard on Madison...at that age they just don't understand and the "old home" is the ONLY one she has ever known! It is like having part of her ripped away. It will all get better though, I promise:) Loved the 'creepy mouse' incident. That is from Grandma Alice and brought back a lot of memories. Love you all.
