So, I thought I should blog in case anyone reads this to let people know we are still alive out here! We are officially moved in and the boxes are gone!!
We have been working like dogs for a week and a half nearly round the clock to get moved in and settled and resume normal life (well, as normal as we ever have it!). My parents are flying in tonight for a two week visit so it served as a good incentive to get this house in order.
In exciting news, Grace started playing soccer a.k.a. holding the ball and running around screaming and laughing last Friday at a park about a mile from our new house. She loves it and every day asks "is it Friday yet, can we go to soccer?
Saturday morning, we worked like dogs around the house and putting the garage in order and half way through the day we realized it was Halloween. We considered not going out for it, but then re-thought it and ended up giving it a try. So after we ate dinner and the trick-or-treaters started coming in droves, I ran around like a crazy women tearing open boxes and miraculously found what I needed. So, Emma wore a pumpkin outfit my mom gave me right before we moved, so that was easy to find. Grace wore what I could find in her closet, so she was a ballerina princess. Thankfully at their ages they didn't notice how last minute and thrown together this all was and they thought it was great to go out!
We ended up meeting a lot of our neighbors as the cul-de-sac at one end of our road had a block party. Everyone was so nice and California laid back which we loved. And this is the first Halloween I can remember where I have been able to go out in short sleeves and flip flops - gotta love this weather!
We both really love our house and the more time we spend in it the more we love it. The weather couldn't be more gorgeous every day is just perfect with sun and clear blue skies. We are very blessed and feel at peace with our decision to bring our family here.
The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.
- Psalm 29:11
