Hasta la vista cardboard!

Ok...not quite. But each day more boxes get unpacked, our things find new places and our house looks more and more like our home.

This move, even though my 17th, has probably been the most tiring. Maybe it's just my age. Maybe it's my self telling my mind that this has to be it, no more!

While there is still much to be done in the remainder days before school begins, things are coming along well! The kids have made quick friends with many neighboring children. We were 'new' for all of a week before a family from North Dakota moved in around the corner!

I look forward to getting settled into a routine...getting back to 'normal'. The kids, even Michaela, is excited for school. The girls miss their 'regular' friends back in Eagan, but are adjusting well. They look forward to their upcoming birthdays. Michaela's being this Friday, and Rebecca's is the first day of school. And everyone is still quite chatty about our trip to ValleyFair last week and laugh regularly at our photos on the fridge! They are hysterical!

Today was a HUGE day because we finally got reconnected with the outside world with the arrival of the phone/cable/internet guy! After 5 days of silence, we were all glad for some media stimulation!
