We're HOME!

Well, all of our guests are now gone and we can really get settled into our new home. The girls had a great trip. Norah ended up with her own seat both flights, which made things much more enjoyable for us all. A friend, Josh, met us at the airport in Indy and got us on our way to Fort Wayne. Then he flew to CA to help load up the trailer and drive with Tim and his dad. They made amazing time and arrived Sunday afternoon. It only took them 40 hours (only, ha!), and we had been expecting them later in the evening. Tim's parents were here to help us unpack until Thursday morning, and my mom and sister arrived in the middle of the night Monday/Tuesday. Then my dad and brother came on Friday for Norah's party. That was a great time, and there's no way I could have pulled it off just a week after I arrived if they hadn't all been around to help throughout the week. I never did count, but I think we had about 50 people here to help celebrate Norah's 2 years... and I bet 2/3 of that was kids! I'll try to get pictures up soon. For now I just wanted to let you all know that we're here, mostly unpacked, finally without house guests, and loving our new home. Oh yeah! Tim and his dad spent a couple days cleaning up the outside, trimming trees and cutting the lawn. It was pretty unruly out there. Tim is looking forward (or not) to removing some small trees from the gutters one day really soon too. It's a jungle up there! My sister also spent a day scrubbing and hosing down all the outside toys that were left here for us. I think I know where everything is in my kitchen too, how about that for progress?!
