6 weeks old!

no pics until we find and set up our card reader, but hopefully that will be soon! we have officially moved in to our new house. the PODS have been unloaded and returned and only a few things remain in other various locations (we have stuff at my parents' house, my brother's house, in our shed in richmond for my sister to bring up with her at the end of the month, and at jeremy's mom's apartment.) the house is much smaller than our last house so we have to figure out what stays and what goes. we (which means i) have too much stuff. we'll have an awesome yard sale soon enough (and we'll need the extra cash to continue paying two mortgages!) it's a long process but the house is slowly starting to come together and the unpacked boxes are dwindling. we're doing a lot of painting because the all the rooms were either painted a hideous shade of purple or white, complete with grubby hand prints everywhere. we are also adjusting to life in a small town. richmond isn't exactly a huge city but hanson is a small town. we knew we were in for a shock when we received something from the post office talking about how rural route delivery works. our town has only about 10,000 people. no interstates run through it. there is no trash collection - we have to bring our trash to the dump ourselves!! but it's fun. it's nice to hear the crickets at night instead of highway traffic and gunshots! we love our little house and will be much happier once we're settled in. quentin is doing very very well. he is growing so fast. some of the 0-3 clothes are starting to get a little snug and he'll be out of the size 1 diapers in a week or so. he's staying awake a lot more and loves to watch the world around him. he likes to look at the trees outside the window and is thoroughly fascinated by our black leather couch. so cute! he's had a lot of grandma time this week. my mom was here monday through wednesday and jeremy's mom got here on wednesday. it's very nice to have them around. q enjoys all the attention and it allows jer and i some time to get settled into the house. his crib and changing table arrived yesterday, and we painted his room today. the walls in his room are a creamy white (sea salt to be exact!) we will be adding some bright colorful stripes to the walls in two fun shades of green, red, and blue. but we're holding off on that until we figure out how to place the furniture. my mom and i went to ikea on tuesday to buy the shelf for his room since he doesn't have a closet, but the shelf i want was much too big to fit into my little jetta so we couldn't get it yet. jeremy and his mom assembled the crib tonight so we're getting there! i've got to get to bed and get some shut eye while the boy is actually asleep, but hopefully now that life is getting back to normal we'll be able to post more often!
