Settling in

We are all moved into our new house and are getting settled in more and more each day. We are loving the extra space, the new community and the small town feel. The neighbors are very friendly - several of them stopped by last week to introduce themselves and we got a chance to visit with them for a few minutes before getting back to our unpacking.

We closed on Monday and started moving in a small portion of our stuff ourselves. Craig was planning to do a treatment to the garage floor before we moved our stuff into the garage but many things unplanned things happened and we ran out of time. Tuesday, movers came and we moved all our stuff from inside the house. Tuesday night we went to get the babies from their grandparent's house. Wednesday, we spent the day the day unpacking and organizing. Craig also got sick and was very sick all day and the next. Thursday, he and my brother loaded up our garage at the old house to move it. Our garage floor was still not finished so all our stuff had to stay on the truck. Luckily nothing was stolen, which we weren't really worried about anyway, but it did rain that night so all our belongings were wet. Friday morning we painted the garage floor but it had to dry for 24 hours so our stuff had to stay outside a second night. It rained again...go figure! Luckily most everything was ok to get wet and nothing was ruined. It just made it more difficult to unload the stuff that was in boxes as the boxes were falling apart. Saturday, we got the truck unloaded and everything finally into our garage. Since then, we've been working so hard trying to finish unpacking and organizing our things.

Like I said, we are really enjoying the new house and we are adjusting well. The babies are doing really well and seem to be having no problems. Craig and I, however, are still adjusting to lugging the kiddos up and down the stairs. They can climb up but not down. We have a pretty severe fire ant problem which is not good especially considering Craig is allergic to fire ants. We have treated them and I can already see an improvement.

This entire summer has been such a whorl-wind with all the house selling/hunting/buying. I'm ready to finish getting settled in so we can do some fun summer things
