The big move

Since the last post talked about the end of life in a camper, this one will pick up with a quick one about the move into our new house. My parents took the girls for 5 days so Eric and I could get the house somewhat in order before we had all of them in the way :-) Sad thing is that even though we were working as fast as we could for 20 hours a day, it felt like we actually got some quality couple time in. (I know, we need a vacation sans children!) We did get the girls' rooms pretty well set up and they were extremely excited about how they turned out.


No post about our move in would be complete without some mention of the mud. We had no sod for almost a week and then since the sod wasn't rooted and we had to water it night and day... Well you can see the results of taking our dogs potty just from these crocs. Now imagine the dogs and the basement floor...


Now we've got a great yard and the fence is installed. The look of joy on the dogs face when I let them out to go potty off leash for the first time in 2 months was priceless. I wish I'd thought to bring my camera :-)

Since we had no kids for the weekend, we took pictures of the cat, who was also glad to be out of the camper and have room to stretch her legs...
Evidently watching the laundry is not only fun for kids, but cats like it too.

Sometimes being the new one in the neighborhood brings good things... like homemade still warm sourdough bread. It lasted about 20 minutes... The girls (and Eric and I) inhaled it.

And as I predicted, this is where we spent a good deal of the next few weeks. Whenever the girls could talk me into an unpacking break.
