New 'hood, new room

This week we have been enjoying the new neighborhood, finally feeling somewhat settled in. Rosie and I went to the library a few more times. Here she is checking out the books in the crocodile:

Enjoying finger raspberries:

Sharing an ice cream cone with Mommy from the creamery down the road:

Breaking in the new piano! Our good friend H was kind enough to give us the piano from her childhood. We are more than thrilled to give it a good home! I took out a few sheet music books from the library...Winnie the Pooh theme song a current favorite...and will have to start building up a good collection.

DaddyO and I have been working to put together a cozy reading cove for Rosie in her room, and she' taken to it. She enjoys falling asleep by starlight:

 She also found a new use for the cove: a parking lot! I found her in here giggling to herself.

Today I stopped by my old school to read to my former students, which was a good excuse to visit Baby P and H. The girls were sweet from the start and had fun playing, play-napping, noshing on each other's food, and playing at the nearby park.

Tea kettle whistle is shocking!:

It's been a good week!
