Got our stuff!

By the way, we got our stuff a few weeks ago! Mike took the day off. Thank goodness! We learned in Houston when the moving company brings in the boxes they give you a clipboard and you have to mark off each box they bring in. Two years ago I was trying to do that by myself with 2 small children and a newborn. I called Mike later that day near tears and demanded he never do that to me again. We were ready this time.
It is so nice to have all our things and to get rid of that gosh awful rented glass table! Here's Evelyn happily cutting a sandwich at our table, surrounded by boxes.




It is amazing as we unpacked we created 3 big give-away boxes. When you live 3 months without your stuff, it makes you realize all the things you don't need. Don't worry, the kids weren't in the give-away box.




We are all moved in! (the obligatory 2 or 3 boxes that get stashed in a closet and never get unpacked don't count). Thanks be to my wonderful husband! He is so organized and driven to unpack boxes. I am, on the other hand, dysfunctional when it comes to packing or unpacking. I open a box and get overwhelmed. So if it was up to me, we'd still have 20 boxes left in the house.
And with a few of the bigger boxes Mike made a great cardboard house! What fun!
