I think I have every box except one unpacked, it has photo albums in it. It has been a long two weeks but I have almost found places for everything, and I am amazed at that because there is only one closet in this house. I don't know how Europeans do it! I love closets for organizing things out of sight. Now we have things under beds and in every cabinet, and thank goodness for Ikea. Jason made two trips with the Corolla loaded down. You would be amazed at what we could fit in that car! A full size bed, a buffet cabinet, a storage cabinet, a stool, 3 bookcases, a desk, and an underbed storage drawer. Our hands ached after assembling all of that.
A couple of days after we moved into the house we had our first visitors from home, my dad and Erica came to stay with us. The kids loved having Nana and Popa here and so did Jason and I. They came bearing gifts: Velveeta cheese, cans of green chiles, chow mein noodles, Hidden Valley Ranch mix packets, and Gebhardts Chili Powder, lots of all of it!!! That was much appreciated. It rained a lot when they were here so we didn't get to show them as much as we would have liked to, but it was nice to just spend time with them. I will post pictures later.
I just had to take a break from writing this because Lauren yelled at me from upstairs "Mom, come quick, it is really bad!" So, I walked up to the third level where the playroom is and Justin was standing at the baby gate with poop on his legs and on the floor all around him. Lovely, I know. The joys of being a mom, cleaning up vomit and poop top the list! I have definitely had my share of both and can do without anymore of either, but I am sure that won't happen. Oh well, I am sure you needed to hear about that. At least you didn't have to clean it up! So after a bath and diaper change, Justin is now resting in bed.
I promise to post pictures soon of what we have been up to. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
