We found our new home last Thursday and took another walk through over the weekend. Depending on the home inspection and closing and all that fun stuff, it could be ours within the next couple of weeks. WOW. It's happened strangely fast.
Mackenzie has had some mixed feelings. She has asked very intuitive questions about the important things like her toys and her room, wondering who will live with us there and who will live in her house now. She wanted to leave behind a few toys for the 'new' kids.
As much as she expresses some sadness about leaving the place that has been her home, she seems to be warming up to the idea of her new home and new room. When were there on Sunday, she and Zachy enjoyed running in and out of the house. They played in their rooms. She pretended to put him to sleep and then went into her room to sleep. They ran down the hall and stomped loudly on the hardwood floors.
Already, it feels like home.
I've learned with Mackenzie that, although she takes some time to warm up to new things, she is able to work through her feelings. She talks about them, acts them out in play and does a lot of rehearsing. Then she's prepared to move forward. It's amazing to watch, really.
Hopefully we'll have a few more visits prior to move in, as this will also help get them both used to their new home.
We talked to the current owners and the women's maiden name was Mackenzie. She's quite fond of both Mackenzie and Zachy. I think she's happy knowing that they will be living there, continuing to feed her birds and planting a garden where she had planted. Strange how things happen, but this feels right. The house, the timing, the whole thing.
So that is why I have not been too good lately at maintaining our blog, but I do intend to try to do a post or two a week during moving time, best I can. Cause you guys continue to be adorable, which means I need to keep up!
Exciting stuff! All of it.
