Exploring the new neighborhood

We arrived in Gilbert and settled in our new home on the 20th of December. We are all still adjusting to the seven hour time difference, but otherwise we are smoothly transitioning. The kids all love having their own rooms and their new beds. They are also really enjoying the separate bathrooms -- the boys share while Adele has her own.

The travel here made for a LONG day and there were many times Jeff and I both lost our patience, but overall the kids did really well. I need to do a blog post just about that day.

In the meantime, we've been meeting up with new friends and exploring our neighborhood. Today, we took the big wheels from Grandma Elaine & Grandpa Wayne with the plan to go to the playground around the corner. Instead, we met one of our new neighbors who told us about a different playground across the street, but still in our development. We are so glad he mentioned it! It is a perfect park for kids at this age.

Rolling out to the park. Gordon hasn't quite got a handle on the big wheel yet, so he prefers to walk.

Sweet smiles from Gordon. The area behind him was so pretty, too.
