Here are a few photos of our house, and one of the girls at White Birch Lodge in Michigan.
I am beginning to feel more at home here in Lexington. Just tonight I found a grocery
strore I really like. My local Kroger, only 5 minutes away, is a little cramped and feels old. There is no horse to ride for a penny like at our King Soopers in Louisville, and, perhaps due to the store being crowded and cramped, each time we have been there, we have had meltdowns and people looking at me sympathetically. So tonight I found Meijer - I had my photos sent there from Snapfish, and I went to pick them up and to pick up a few grocery items. I found a nice, spacious, friendly store with a really cool kid cart, great prices, and...a penny horse! They also have an icee machine for 75 cents for a huge cup - we all had a great time. Perhaps it was because Ann was asleep the whole time :), but I felt again like I could brave the grocery store with three kids. Add to that - I found a "back way" to our home from Meijer that avoids the major traffic street, Nicholasville Road.Speaking of beginning to feel at home, we miss Panda Express! We were reading a Tomie dePaola book from the library the other day and I pointed to the brown meat on a plate in one of the pictures, and asked Cate if she thought it was meatballs. She said it looked "more like the Orange Chicken we get from Panda Express." While we have found most everything we "need" to feel at home, the one thing we do really miss is Panda Express -nowhere to be seen! Just questionably-named establishments such as "Asian too" and "China Express." Can someone FedEx us some Orange Chicken and Chow Mein? Panda had become a family favorite in the weeks of quick meals before we made our move.
