Moving

Oh MY! This last week, and probably more weeks to come, have just been completely crazy. The lack of posts is an indication of just how crazy. We are now in our new house and getting settled in though. I got Maggie and River's rooms all put together first in an attempt to add some normalcy and routine back into their lives. Maggie is loving her new room, and asked that we share some pictures for family and friends to see...

We are working on making the rest of the house (indoors and out) "our" space. We have a very big back yard with huge cottonwood trees, a canal with a bridge across, and lots of garden space. It will be nice as soon as we put in the time to get it all ready, we wish of course we had more time. I've even promised Magnolia her very own flower garden.

We are enjoying the neighborhood, an older established neighborhood, which is quiet and peaceful...except for the call of pheasants and the sounds of children playing, which we can get used to.

It feels like we have a lot more work ahead of us, but we're getting closer to being settled in. We even took a break from the moving chaos to enjoy Renn Fair this weekend, one of our favorite Moscow traditions. Auntie Julie made the trip north to help us cook, clean, pack, unpack, take care of children, paint, do yard work, and more. We are so appreciative.
