I love talking about weather

Today we have a sunny day in Connecticut!  It's not exactly warm out yet, but the sun is an incredible encouragement that Spring really is coming.  I'd forgotten how long a New England winter feels.  I went running outside this morning, thinking it might warmish, and my hands nearly froze off, but I could hear the birds chirping!  We're getting there...

It's been a fun adventure for us to come here.  It's been a tumultuous few months - selling our house in CO, moving in with Mike's parents, moving to CT, living in a hotel for about a month, buying our house here, renovating the entire kitchen, etc., but things are finally starting to slow down a little bit and that's a great thing.  I think we'll really feel a lot better when we can do more outside and we see some more sun.

On Saturday we went and wandered around in the center of town and ended up eating at Whole Foods.  We started talking with the people next to us and they moved here from Denver two years ago, and the guy actually worked at Travelers, in the same building as Mike and me.  It's such a small world.  Unlike us though, they HATE it here.  We did get to rant for a little while about how incredibly rude the drivers are here, and how very much we miss Chipotle and the mountains :(

Lilly is doing well with potty-training.  I won't go into too many details, but she had another big success this morning :)  We took her to her first movie yesterday, Horton Hears a Who.  It was so much fun to get to watch her watching the movie.  She was pretty good - Mike just had to take her to the back of the theater for the last 15 minutes or so.  There were a lot of kids there, all talking throughout the movie, so she did really well for a not quite two year old.

I'm going to try to post a picture of Lilly and Mike at the movie, and maybe a couple others.  If this goes well I'll try to post more soon!
