| Gabe loves to put objects on this gear toy, push the button and watch them spin around. |

| I got a shoe-shaped luggage tag and it is Gabe's new favorite toy. For whatever reason, it makes him laugh so much! |
Well we've been in California for one whole week. It was a tough week, but we made it! On Thursday, Gabe & I drove down to Lancaster, dropped the van off to get tires rotated and then spent the day with some friends. It was fun to see them and for Gabe to get to play with some other kids.
This weekend we got our DirecTV installed - hooray! There is no broadcast tv reception up here in the mountains and no cable, so satellite tv is the only option. That will be a bit of a change - I was totally happy with just free broadcast TV in Duluth.
We also drove in to town to check out some furniture stores for a table and chairs. But apparently only one of the 3 listed is still in business and they didn't have much in stock. They had a catalog you could order from, but not sure how I feel about spending a bunch of money on something I have no idea what it looks like in person.
Today, we checked out a community church nearby. The people were all really friendly and welcoming and the service was pretty good. We'll probably check out a few more just to see what other options there are, but we'll see. Afterwards, we came home and Gabe had a nice long nap, Adam mowed the yard and I got some unpacking done. We've been grilling a ton this week (bbq chicken, steak, hamburgers) and tonight we grilled some Kabobs. Grilled onions are my favorite!

Not a whole lot on the schedule coming up. Need to run to town for groceries and a few other things some time early this week and need to work on unpacking some more. I was invited to a ladies night tomorrow night in town with some of the people I met today at church, so I'm going to that. Other than that, nothing planned yet.
cute pics! The kabobs look delish!
ReplyDeleteGuess I should have given GABE the luggage tag, but at least know you have a "toy to go"!
So...are you living in the country up in the mountains?! Did you guys buy a house already? Are you going to post photos? Do you want me to stop asking questions?!
ReplyDeleteHooray for one week in Cali! Hope you are settling in okay.
@ Kier - yeah, we're kind of in the country up in the mountains. We're about 13 miles from our town and a little over an hour to the 2 nearest cities. We are renting a house for now. There are a bunch of photos posted in my first blog entry.
