On Aislin's b-day we went driving around Mt. Vernon looking for a house to rent, and after a handful of heck-no's and one maybe, we found this one. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, and a deck that overlooks mountains and trees.
The next day, we finally got a dining table! WHOO!
The master bedroom (with the dresser mirror still sitting in front of the window...*sigh*):
We've adjusted to life in Mt. Vernon pretty well, and we're glad to see Aislin feel so at home in our new home! We've been exploring parks together, the trail to the local grocery store, the library, etc...and wherever we go, she's more than happy to wave and make new friends.

This was taken at a park a few blocks from our house. It was quite a walk! She was standing at the top of a toddler jungle gym and watching the older kids play.
This was taken at another park. As soon as I took her out of her stroller and set her down, she immediately walked away from me and towards everyone else! She kept walking up to other people but she seemed to know that they were way too old to play with, so she'd turn around and entertain herself.
We've been meeting more people from church so I just recently met some moms who have kids about her age. In fact, Aislin met a little boy at church today who's almost exactly a month older than her (off by a day)! So maybe they'll be at playgroup and she won't just have to watch the older kids play!
In other news, we didn't take pictures of Tim at the airport but he just got back from his first business trip :) He went to Wisconsin for four days while Aislin and I stayed with my family. He said people in Wisconsin say "baa-cood" instead of "barcode," and that flying first class (which only happened on the way back because there were no seats left in coach) wasn't that great because everyone was drinking. Otherwise it was a good experience :)
Oh, and one last thing: it rained today!
Oh a house, rain, trees, mountains... how I miss you. You guys are so lucky...sigh...
