We are settling into apartment life after moving last week from our home. I was actually kind of excited about living in an apartment for a short while because it seems like a very simple life….less to clean and keep organized. I was pleasantly surprised this morning when a housekeeper magically showed up at my door to clean. Now that’s service! It’s also much easier to keep tabs on what Avery is up to since she can’t mozy off too far. The biggest adjustment though is space for food. I guess I didn’t realize how much food we had!
This community is really exactly everything we had hoped for. It’s an amazing place to live (especially if you don’t have to commute to work) and so family-friendly. Scott and I picked up Avery from school today and took her swimming and then walked to Hubbell and Hudson (a super cool grocery store, etc.) to pick up something to cook for dinner. We even found a cool little family area that is kind of hidden where there is a really nice fountain, sitting area, and large splash pad for kids. There seems to be no shortage of these around.
Yesterday, we went to the mall and Avery played in the jungle play area (didn’t want to leave at all), ate a chocolate treat because Mommy wanted one (loved it), and then rode the Carousel (didn’t want to get off). She had quite the time! As we walked out of the mall, she started crying to Scott that she wanted to go back in the house, back in the house, back in the house (continuing with the trend of not wanting to leave). I thought that was really funny that to her, the mall was “the house.”
