9.1.11: Settling in

After two days of solid packing/cleaning, four hours of movers loading, six hours of driving, two days at Nene's house, and two more hours of driving we finally arrived at our new home. The next several days were spent conquering the abundance of boxes consuming our new abode. Once the necessities were uncovered we got garage door openers installed, bought a kitchen table, had our AC break, bought a car, went to the dmv, got our AC repaired, went swimming in our very own pool, fixed various irrigation leaks, and attempted to reestablish a routine. So needless to say, things have been crazy busy even with the help of Nene and Nana over the past two weeks.

I must admit the girls have probably watched more tv moving week than they have in their entire lives - and they loved it! Even while the movers were loading we watched movies outside on the patio sitting in our triplet stroller in an attempt to stay out of the way.

I am amazed at the amount of tasks we have accomplished in the past two weeks, but still overwhelmed by those to come. We are doing our best to settle in and make the most of our new home and community. The girls are loving their new freedom to roam throughout the house although it is still somewhat restricted to box-free areas. The girls have been amazing, adjusting to all the changes easier than Brant and me. Each day gets easier and for that, we are VERY thankful!
