Sorianos Take Seattle – Week 1!

We have almost made it through our first week in our new home. We have been doing a little settling, a lot of shopping, and a fair amount of exploring.

Most of our house looks like this:

Because our stuff isn’t here yet! Next week, hopefully. Until then, the girls are enjoying the open space that is either a racetrack, a pasture (for cabellos), or a dance floor – depending on what they want to play.

No matter how much space they have though, there is still something magical about having a hiding place. Today, they decided that they only wanted to play in the shoe closet!

Outside has been good for picnics and hanging out.

Sorry about the garbage in this picture 🙂 It’s the outside of the house with our rental minivan. I love it so much I am really thinking about selling the Traverse when it gets here to join the swagger wagon club. 

Since the buyers of our house in Minnesota asked to keep our TVs, Rafa got to pick out a new one here. I don’t know how he talked me into this size!

Speaking of size…I’m huge! 35 weeks and the countdown is on! I found a new OB and have an appointment on Monday. We have the route to the nearest hospital mapped, just in case. Our new insurance starts on Monday, so as long as this baby doesn’t try anything funny this weekend, everything should be ok.

Giana loves hugging her brother.

Today was a much cooler day, so my big pregnant self felt a lot better. We took a test trip from our house to Rafa’s job during rush hour. Then, since we were in the city, we explored a little! Doughnuts, park, monorail…lots of fun.

With the heat, we made our air mattress beds in the downstairs living room where the temperatures were a little cooler. The girls have been enjoying this family camping trip. I have to admit I am really looking forward to having a bed again after not having one for two months.
