Moving Day

Moving Day finally arrived! Here is the big truck with all of our stuff. David and Drew are just watching the movers start to unload. Drew kept asking for his "roundhouse" which is part of his train set and something he got for his birthday from my mom and sister. He literally had a day to play with it and then it got packed up. It was something we didn't find of course until one of the last boxes!

Drew standing in front of our new mailbox (one of my favorite features of this house - a mailbox that you can just walk to the end of the driveway and put your mail in like what I grew up with) and Drew in front of the big truck!
Drew is working hard here - he is eating a cookie with milk sitting in his wagon that the movers unpacked just watching them do all hard work!
He found his police car...
and his blue dog.
Drew with the beginnings of his toys that we unloaded and he hasn't seen in over a month- we have to find something to put these all in and he needs some big boy bedroom furniture! Drew did play nonstop with toy after toy for the first few days - it was great!

So, we are all moved in. I can't describe the feeling of being in the house but it is MUCH better than the temporary housing they put us in. It's just fantastic. We actually have four bedrooms - one for the baby's stuff, one for Drew, one for us and one for guests. We have our own office area and everything fits in the kitchen for the first time ever! I am just so happy with the whole situation. The apartment was just not fun - from the loud neighbors upstairs to the cigarette butts all on the stairs outside our door to the fact that we had to walk up and down stairs all the time and not to mention take Beva on a leash 3x a day to go to the bathroom... and to get the mail was literally a drive or a very long walk. I honestly hated it and was getting pretty down about it all.Now, I feel much better and it's totally worth paying a little extra for this house that I can call my home!

YEAH! You guys have your own little house! I bet Drew was so excited! He didn't have any of his cousins to come and take all his toys---does he know how to play with them without someone taking them from him??? Hope all's going well in Hotlanta. We all miss you in Texas!
