We have been SO busy this week trying to establish routines, organize our new place, and explore all we can in our neighbourhood. I found a place where I bought several pounds of fresh fruit for under $5.00 today, which made me a little too happy probably. We also went and purchased all of those annoying move-in items like dish mats, second keys, brooms, mops, etc. The apartment is shaping up nicely if I do say so, though there's still a lot of work to be done. I both beam at and lament the fact that I've assembled such a massive book collection over the years.

I'm starting to picture this whole baby in the city thing better now that we're here. Our neighbourhood has a ton of young families and they all seem to do okay in smaller places. It seems like there are lots of ways for families to stay busy, including parks, playgrounds, libraries, and other outdoor places. I even feel like young kids would enjoy tagging along with us to the commercial area that's nearby, which features a bizarre and intriguing variety of shops, food markets, and restaurants. The variety of people alone would be enough to occupy a kid's imagination.

I'm pretty much zonked from a very busy day, so I'll sign off there for now. I promise that it won't be long before I return to longer, more regular posts. Until then, have a wonderful night and take care all!
