Pure Chaos at the Holland House

So we moved into our new house June 29th and had my parents come down to help us and see the new place. It was a busy week of unpacking and Gavin getting use to his new surroundings. He wasn't very happy about it, at first but eventually he came around. Right after the family left we headed on a 2 week road trip to New York for Ian's high school BFF wedding he was in. We spent a lot of time with our families in Livonia and in Windsor. Gavin loved seeing his grandmothers and great grandmothers (and aunts, uncles and Lotte of course). Going home always helps me get closer to Ian, not sure why but I think family keeps us grounded and helps us to stay in check with who we are and where we came from. After our quick two weeks we came back home and realized we still have tons of work to do and unpacking to finish. Ughh.
We spent the weekend unpacking, figuring out the best daycare/home care for Gavin and shopping for things we need for the house. Ian left for a work trip on Monday. So nothing will get done this week. I put Gavin in a "Preperatory Preschool" however I don't really love it. I want him here, the house is lonely without him here during the day. Its sad :( Not sure how long this will last, I am not that thrilled about daycare.

We are trying to settle in, meet people, etc, but at this point we have not even had much time to sit around and have a glass of wine on the couch and relax.
