Brooke acclimated amazingly to moving to a new house, within the first day. Of course it probably helps that she has a swing and an outdoor wooden playhouse, a playroom, and of course empty boxes to play with. Also she found comfort in an old rocker she spent a lot of time in as an infant.

For Christmas I bought Laura a kayak and life vests for her and Brooke so we could go kayaking as a family. This week it warmed up to 60 and we took advantage to give the new kayak a spin. Brooke really enjoying being out on the water with Mom.

After a long (longer than expected) day of moving, I thought it would be a good idea to have a family fun day the next day. A new trampoline park called Could 9 had just opened down the street so we went for the under 6 year old jump time. Brooke had a great time as well as Mom and Dad. Then we topped off the morning with breakfast at The Broken Egg Bistro and storytime at the library.

I love that we live right next to the ocean and can be part of a coastal community. Today Brooke had a day with the fishes. It had been a while and her book on sea creatures was becoming a regular read at night and during the day so I decided to take her to the aquarium on a cold 37 degree day. It was hard to get a picture of her as of course she moves so much and was looking all around but here is the best I have.
Yesterday was the winter solstice and it was a nice day to get outside an play. I took Brooke on a run with some strength training around the park and then AJ joined us to play on the playground afterwards. Brooke wanted to try bicep curls after watching Mommy doing them. She had a lot of fun.
