We're finally starting to feel like we've settled in to our new home in Lewisburg, WV. We particularly loved this house because of the surprising space once you walk in the front door. It's a 3 bedroom, 3 bath bi-level. Contrary to what it looks like from the sidewalk, this house almost doubles the sq. footage we had in Morgantown. Drew has a gigantic "man cave" downstairs, and I have taken the basement den and turned it into a comfy, cozy library--complete with wood stove! This spring we were able to experience new life from our back porch; the cows that live on the farm behind us calved lots of babies, and we've been excited to watch them run, play, and grow. I'm tickled that we'll be able to see this happen every year!
Drew was lucky enough to get hired on in Greenbrier County as a Special Ed. teacher for one of the middle schools, so he is no longer driving 2 hours a day to the next county over for work. He loves being so close to home! The time he previously spent driving back and forth to Beckley is now dedicated to training for his upcoming triathlon season.
I began working for the county as a substitute teacher last month. It felt great to get back out into the schools again, but I was so anxious to leave Levi with a babysitter! Fortunately, Jill (the M-I-L) found us a fantastic sitter and Levi just adores her. It's been such a blessing; he's even beginning to get a solid daily routine down!
Levi's quickly approaching 5 months and no longer looking like a preemie. At 15 pounds and 24.5 in long, there's not much about him that's little anymore! He's developing quite the personality as well. He enjoys watching himself in the mirror, CMT, and is exploring his feet. Lately, with the warm weather we've been having, he loves taking long walks with Mommy and Daddy around the neighborhood (sometimes the puppies, too!)--often he get so relaxed that walks quickly become nap times.
