Moved in

We're all moved in. We still have some stuff at mom & dad's to bring up, but we slept here last night. We have internet, but no phone or TV yet. (But we've got our blue-ray player up and running!) My office isn't moved yet, so I'll be commuting to work (haven't done that for a while!). We had a TON of help yesterday and a big THANK YOU goes out to those who came to help. The kids' rooms are all unpacked, as is the kitchen, living room, and laundry room. Steve even hung our big clock and a couple of sconses on the wall. It feels like home already. We still have quite a few boxes in our bedroom/bathroom and in the bonus room upstairs. We've got a boat and 1 car in the garage, and when my brother comes and picks up the boxes and packing material (they anticipate moving and are taking our supplies), we'll get the other car in. The kids are loving their "space" and each spent a fair amount of time alone today enjoying the new place. Kenneth sat reading on his bed a lot, and he also made a cake and some cookies (unassisted). Daniel played games in the bonus room, and Caitlin played in her room. Kenneth and Patrick share a room and Daniel and Caitlin share a room. We have yet to unpack the fitted sheet and matress protector for our bed, but we're mostly functional. There isn't a single blind on the entire house, so we're open to the world, but we'll get there. I hung a blanket over the window in the master bathroom. Tasha seems to enjoy the new place. She especially likes the deck off of the kitchen. She kept wanting to go out on it all day today. Leapeth is still with my folks, but we'll get him/her up here soon enough. Steve took the kids (3 older ones) to the park down the street and had them walk to my folks' to get his car. He was anticipating being able to cut across the golf course, but there were lots of golfers and they had to walk around. It is a long walk that way - probably at least a mile and a half or 2 miles. (just guessing) They are all sleeping soundly. :)
