01.22.26 - 01.25.26: Moving From Terrace To Guibal 🏡📦

On Thursday we had a moving company help us move from Terrace in Cupertino to Guibal in Gilroy.

Megan did not move with us.

I moved the blankets, luggages, and boxes to the Guibal house. Then, I set up my bed.

On Friday morning our TV came. Dad and I set up the TV.

We went to Aladdin Nursery in the afternoon to order fruit trees for our new orchard and vineyard.

After that, we went to LJB Farms in our neighborhood to check out the local grocery.

We moved to a new place. I was nervous, anxious, and tired but also excited.

On Saturday I set up the bed in my room. I put the drum in my room, carried the desk, and shelves.

After Sunday School we stopped by our Terrace house, but we forgot to bring the basket and I was looking for my drumsticks.

I was tired and frustrated because I couldn’t find my drumsticks and I threw tantrums when I got home.

I found my drumsticks and it made me feel proud.

On Monday there was no school because it’s Martin Luther King. We took a long walk to get familiar with our neighborhood. 

I saw goats and horses.

We ran into a big dog that jumped out of the fence and chased Bailey. I was scared and Bailey felt scared.

On Tuesday and Thursday Mom and I had a new schedule that included farming and doing business online.

I jogged with Mom and Bailey in the neighborhood on Tuesday and Thursday.

Also, I went to take care of the new trees in the orchard that the landscapers were building.

Moving to a new place was a lot of work, but it was also exciting.

It was hard to find new routines, but it is a new beginning and I will learn many new things.

01.20.26 - 01.25.26 🌹🍃

I didn’t go to FCSN and I was working on farming and gardening.

After breakfast Mom and I  jogged along the neighborhood.

Then, Mom taught me how to prune the dead roses.

I swept the leaves and threw away the branches with thorns. I liked it because I enjoyed working on farming.

On Friday we had dinner at Ladera Grill restaurant in Downtown Morgan Hill.

We dined out at Downtown Morgan Hill because we wanted to learn or explore about the local restaurants. 

I ordered lobster ravioli. We had New York Style Cheesecake as a dessert.

On Saturday morning our furniture came.

Mom put the covers on the carpets.

After Sunday School we stopped by Terrace house. I brought the puzzles downstairs.

Then, Mom pruned the dead roses while I picked up the branches. Dad and I pulled the weeds.

I hung up the puzzles on the wall and legos on top of the shelves in the new house.

My favorite activity was getting new furniture and arranging them.
