Today is Friday and that marks the end of our second week in Athens. The boys seem to be adjusting, although Odin clearly misses his Raleigh friends (and so does momma!). He misses having steady friends and play dates (of which we did frequently in Raleigh). The silver-lining, however, is Odin and Bjorn are now playing together all the time. Bjorn loves it and is always trying to mimic Odin. Odin is attentive to Bjorn and mostly enjoys his company. At times, he gets frustrated with him, but overall they are becoming closer and closer. After school (we call Bjorn's daycare school so he can feel like a big boy) we go to a park or head home to read stories while cuddling in bed.
Here are the boys climbing trees at Bishop Park.
Progress on the house we purchased on Holman is moving along. After finding asbestos in all the drywall we decided to take it down to the "bones" and start over. This opens up many possibilities for moving walls and changing the layout of the house (in addition to the large 2-story addition we have planned for the house). It is very exciting and our builder says we are going to be thrilled with our "new old home."
