home sweet home!

we started sleeping in our new home on monday. like all new homes, it's still cold and quiet but i'm loving all the space we have. we are not bumping into each other and michelle runs all over the place (we have no living room and dining room furniture yet). we don't have to worry about parking so running errands in the evening is not a hassle.

michelle still misses our old home. it hasn't quite registered that this is her new home. she calls the house hers, but refers to it more as 'big house' and not home. i guess she misses the warmth and all the attention she gets when we used to share a home with her ninang's family. we miss them, too, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

i went to home depot earlier to scope fresh christmas trees. it was very cold tonight and the smell of pine filled the garden area at the store. i was so tempted to buy a tree right then and there but i want michelle to pick the tree...not that she would know what to pick but i want it to be an experience for her.

i'm excited about christmas and all the traditions and memories we will have at home.
