Home Sweet Home

We finally made it! We're all moved into the new house. We couldn't have done it without the help of Kyle, my parents, and our good friend Dave. They worked tirelessly Friday and Saturday to move all of our stuff....and boy did it seem like we had a lot of stuff!
The kids have adjusted better than I could have ever imagined. I think that they were used to us being out here every couple of days so to them it was no big deal. I worried the first couple of nights that McKenna might have an accident trying to find her way to the bathroom in the middle of the night but she seems to have no problems. The stairs are a constant battle with Cooper and it's been difficult to find gates that will fit properly so we continue to work on that. Tucker has probably had the hardest time adjusting. I spent the first night camped out in the living room with him as he cried and whimpered. I'm glad to report that last night went much better and he seems to be getting used to his new environment.
Earl has worked constantly all weekend to move everything and put stuff together, etc. I honestly don't know how he did everything that he did. I know he must be tired but he keeps plugging along.
I feel like a thousand pounds has been lifted off my shoulders now that the house is done and the moving part also! I hated having that looming over my head for the past few months. And I must say that I would rather unpack boxes on this end!
We're still waiting on some of our furniture to come in and as I type tonight I'm sitting on my knees. I'm extremely glad to finally have the TV and internet hooked up! I was starting to feel disconnected from the rest of the world.
We're excited for our friends and family to come visit now that we have a new place and lots of space. So, if you're in the neighborhood (or even if you're not) feel free to stop by.
Happy voting tomorrow!

Emily,

I am so happy to see that everything went smoothly in getting moved to your new home. I'm glad it's been a smooth one for the kids...and that Tucker is getting used to his new home as well. All of that hardwood must be a struggle for him!

I'm glad that the giraffe made it out on Halloween...somehow candy is a good motivator to get dressed up, huh?

Welcome to your new home!

Megan
