Home. Sweet home.

The Gill-Smith FamBam has moved back to Washington! This isn't really new news, but it's still exciting for us. Gavin really likes his new job and enjoys working with friends again, and being a stay at home mom is easier in a more familiar place. 

It was bitter-sweet leaving California, especially when it had started to feel like home, but now we can enjoy it as a fun vacation location. 

Today marks three weeks since we crossed back into WA; and a fun three weeks it has been! There have been a ton of family dinners, game nights with friends, multiple library trips, a concert, a Sounders match, and even a trip to the zoo! 

Eleanor is definitely getting some good Auntie Michelle and Uncle Jason time in. And she also has a "playroom" in our new home that she's excited about. 

The story of our new home is a good one too: my Uncle Joey just happened to be moving out of state at the same time we would be moving back and he didn't want to leave his house empty. Out he went and in we moved! Uncle Joey's house is the perfect size for us with a back room for Eleanor's toys, a front room for entertaining, great kitchen, three bedrooms, and even a big yard for Lucky! 

We look forward to many more adventures, especially as Eleanor grows and learns -and she's doing both like crazy right now. In the last week she has learned to stack her cups in the correct order without help, put her socks on correctly, and is starting to put together her foam bath puzzles! Seriously cool accomplishments for our little bug! 

We don't have Internet hooked up at the house yet but should be getting it shortly and then I promise to update a lot more (right now we're trying - and I'm failing- to save our cell data). Keep up with us on Facebook where I've tried to post a lot of pictures and updates. See you soon!
