Truck!

I stayed up last night and FINALLY finished Harry Potter! I thought it was a great read, but was disappointed in the ending. I found it to be somewhat predictable; however, I loved Harry in this book! I thought he had a great attitude and I really enjoyed all of the characters as they have developed. Can't wait for the next (and last, right?) book! Yesterday was a fabulously "lazy" day. Sam slept in and for 2 hours and I was able to drink coffee and read in silence! It was so nice! Then he napped for over 2 hours later in the day and I layed in the hammock and read...(guess how I finished Harry Potter?)...in between his naps we played with the neighbors. We have been so lucky with our neighbors...honestly wonderful people. Cindy and her son C. are great. Sam and C. play so well together and Cindy is an avid reader and we talk about books and everything. She's awesome! During our playtime Cindy was standing near Sam as the recycling truck was picking up our recycling, and Sam pointed to it and said "truck"! I didn't hear him, but Cindy did very clearly! Sam amazes me everyday! He can now cross his index finger and middle finger on his right hand and spent the better part of Saturday doing this to his own great amusement. He can "drive" his car on his own and now walks 80% of the time! We found out today that we will close on our house next Thursday! 10 days earlier than we had originally thought. We are both very excited. I am meeting with our realtor tomorrow and will take some pictures of the house, so check the website (see link to the right) for updates! Sam and I had a playdate today with Monica and Sara and their kiddos. It was great. These women are very similar to many of the friends I had in Manhattan and they would have fit right in at the AP playgroups. I still miss all the AP women and kids so much, but today was great for me and for Sam. I rode my bike with Sam in the trailer today to Monica's and what a difference from riding in Manhattan! The hills and the wind (not so different). I was pooped after that ride...must have been at least 3 miles each way. Needless to say, it is only 7:30 and Sam has been asleep for a half an hour already!
