Busy new week!

So it's been a fabulous week so far...well, save today, but one's bound to have a crummy day or two here or there.
Monday, our friends Matt and Jenn came over for haircuts... and they were sweet and were willing to watch Hazel for an hour while Brett and I went to look at a house for rent in Ballygally. So we had dinner, ran to Ballygally, then came back and did haircuts. Busy day and busy night!

About the house. So, living in our fabulous townhome has, of late, become less than fabulous. We're very outgrown in this place. Poor Hazel really has no room to move about...especially as we have no yard or not even really a patio. Just a lot of brick and rock. Plus, as we are very excited to have everyone come visit, we feel really bad that there's no where to put anyone. It's cramped here with just the 3 of us!!!! So, I've convinced Brett to let me see what there is available in Larne by way of furnished 3 bedroom rentals! I looked 2 weeks ago at a farmhouse just outside of town. So neat, it's a remodeled...kinda...and just very rural Ireland, which, in of itself is pretty cool. However, not really realistic for a family with a small child. So we keep looking. Monday morning, however, I looked at 2 more properties with the same real estate agent. The first place was nice. It's a townhome in an old remodeled Hotel just outside Larne...very similar to where we live, with a few extra perks. And way out in the middle of the boonies...then dear ole Mark took us to property #2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It looked like a 95 year old Interior Designer with dimensia decorated the place and smelled like someone rubbed cats all over whatever surfaces would permit it. Hmmm...not for us. So by that afternoon, I was excited about the Hotel and ready to commit! But Matt had called on Friday about a house that was coming up for rent near them in Ballygally, so I thought, what the heck...might as well give it a look-see. And we did. And we love it. And I've totally forgotten about the hotel.
Our new house has a back yard, a driveway, a large kitchen, 3-4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths! Room for everyone! The house is still under remodel, and has quite a bit left to do, but we've got 60 days left here, so we're in no hurry. Hopefully, though, we'll be able to move in mid July. Here's to hoping!
On the Hazel front, she's growing by leaps and bounds. She's crawling like a pro, standing up like she's always been able to, and started walking along furniture. Needless to say, we purchased a safety gate. I think she's trying hard to get her top 2 teeth out as she's just been a grouch lately, but I can't even imagine hwo that feels, so we power through.
Here's a new video of her!
