feeling moved.

We have now lived in our new place for 2 weeks! We love it. The entire first day here the boys just played on the stairs all day, something they've never had inside their home. We also have a room with a whole wall of built in shelves and they love to go into the "book room" and read their books. They thoroughly enjoyed it when Matt caught the little frog in the backyard that was making a whole lot of noise at night. We released it the next morning at the golf course. They love watering the plants in the backyard, killing the ants and spiders back there, and watching the praying mantises (so cool!). Our pool is only 1/2 a block away. And we get to hang out with cousins, grams and grandad, and aunts and uncles all of the time.

Matt and I are both very glad we chose to live in SJC. He is close to work, we are close to family and the freeway, our neighbors are super nice, and the boys never get tired of seeing the trains go by (they get excited every time!). And we've been to the beach at least 4 times this past week.

So anytime you are coming through we'd love to have you stop by and hang out. Some of our favorite friends already have (they loved the stairs too)!
