Gray Gables here we are!!!

Morgan got some new boots and a new backpack for school!!

Kevin, the girls and I packed up the whole house, put it in the car and arrived in Bourne, Gray Gables, on Sunday. Morgan is in heaven - pretty much did everything she could just on Sunday alone - from beach, boating, swimming, playing in the backyard...oh my!! It was quite a day!! Maddie is adjusting a little more slowly more to her new napping place than to anything else. She warmed right up to all the aunts, uncles, and cousins with no problem. Sleeping is a little more difficult. A mouthful of teeth coming in might have something to do with it!

And if you haven't heard already, we got BIG, EXCITING news yesterday that I got a job, teaching pre-k at St. Catherine's which is only about 10 minutes away!! It's so exciting and is going to work out perfect. I am actually leaving the girls today with Gamma to head back to Norwood for a meeting with the principal to see the classroom and sign paperwork!! YIPPEE!!!

Yesterday, besides getting very exciting news, we just recovered from Sunday - and all sea air that smells and feels great - and is also so very exhausting! Morgan and I went to the beach again for a little bit, but she was hesitant to swim by herself. They don't allow noodles or inflatables here (???why???) but she's been collecting lots of shells, rocks and building plenty of sand castles!

Getting her feet wet!
