A New Chapter

Well, we have now somewhat settled in Connecticut. We have been living with Mark's parents in Bristol while waiting for our house to sell in Colorado. We finally got an offer about a month ago, and are scheduled to close on November 15th. Hopefully all will go smoothly so that would be one less detail that we need to worry about. Plus, with the market being so bad, we were hoping to sell before the winter season.

Both Mark and I started new jobs the day after Labor Day...Holly as a Health teacher at The Bridge Academy in Bridgeport and Mark as a Journeyman Electrician for Ace Electric. We are both enjoying our jobs and feel blessed to have found them so easily. Marcus and Leah are in a great daycare center called "Little Angels" about 5 minutes from the house and are loving that and thriving in the new environment. They are about to turn 2 on November 12 and we can't believe that time has gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday that I was in the hospital with a HUGE stomach waiting to see our twins for the first time. Now I can't really call them babies anymore - they are getting so grown-up and are saying new words everyday. They are a ton of fun, but also a ton of work!

We miss Colorado and all of our friends there, including Matt and Kerri, but are thankful to be here in Connecticut with Mark's parents and Jenny, Andy, and Jack and Grace (Mark's sister and her family). Marcus and Leah have had a lot of fun getting to know their cousins and playing with them every Wednesday when Aunt Jenny takes care of them. We are also very thankful for Grandma Jean and Grandpa Terry, who get Marcus and Leah up in the mornings, get them dressed, fed, and off to daycare for Mark and I, who have to leave early in the morning to get to work.

We look forward to Thanksgiving when Grandma Linda, Grandpa Neal, and Uncle Rob will be coming to visit us...should be a wonderful weekend of spending time with family. We wish Matt and Kerri could be with us as well, but they will be spending the holiday in Colorado.
