The Saez Family Blog: #303

Life in the big city has turned out to be quite busy. I never realized (or appreciated) how much 'spare time' I had until I no longer had it. To be honest, I don't know if the lack of time is due to our new jobs, being in a new city, or just having two children who demand every waking hour of your day! It's probably a combination of it all. Regardless.... here we are, nearly five months later and I haven't updated the blog.

So, let's go back to December 2013.

December was the month of the big move to Atlanta. It also included Owen's last day at Blessed Sacrament School in Savannah, our going away party at the Von Breunings, and one last visit from Mom, Leighton, Jen and Kaylin before we moved 5+ hours away. We said good-bye to our many Savannah friends, many of whom had become like family to us, including our nannies Gabby and Haley. We said good-bye to our home there, which will forever be special to us because it's the first home of our children. We also said hello to Atlanta, or Dunwoody, specifically, where we bought our new home, found our new church and began settling into our life here. Just a few days after we moved into our house in Dunwoody, Lou's family from Michigan came to visit us. They were here for Christmas and were a big help in getting us unpacked. So, December 2013 was a big month for us.

Since the movers came during Owen's last week of school, Benjamin and I headed to Atlanta to meet them to unpack the house while Lou and Owen stayed behind and came three days later. Before the furniture arrived, Benjamin and I decorated the Christmas tree. The boys really didn't care where we celebrated Christmas as long as Santa knew where to find them!
