We've Moved!

We are all moved into our new home! Well, sort of. We still have a lot of boxes left in the basement, but Soryda has been working really hard to get everything in the proper place. She got the kitchen and the boy's bedrooms in shape over the weekend so they can regain some normalcy. When I left this morning she was working on our bedroom, so I am sure that will be in great shape too.

It was of course sad to leave our old house. Here it is in its glory.

And here it was on moving day.

With the exception of the parent induced schedule variations, Micah and Caelan seem to be adjusting well. The first night, at bed time, Micah said to Soryda "I want to go home". Then on Saturday, he asked me "What happened to Tobacco Square?" But last night he seemed to be OK, and he is always really excited to see all of his things at the new house. Yesterday we had some of his (and our) friends over so he could see that they can find the new house too. On moving day, mom and dad brought dinner and helped us set up beds.

The letter helped too. Mom and Dad wrote Micah and note and we stuck it in the mailbox on Friday. On Saturday, I took Micah out to check the mail, and he had a letter addressed to him! He was excited about the letter, and the next day, he wanted to go out and get his letter from the mailbox again.
Soryda's mom took off work Friday and watched the boys all day while we moved. That was a stressful day. See the blog below. Anyway, it's nice to be in a bigger house, especially a nicer kitchen. There is more room, so we don't bump into each other in the morning. Plus, Soryda keeps wiping the counters and saying "I love cleaning granite." Here's a sneak peak at our kitchen. To see more, you have to visit us!

Soryda, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new kitchen! I think there's room for me to slide a small mattress in there so I can move in. Can I come visit you? I want to see it in person!

LOVE the picture of the new kitchen! I do think it is a little unfair to only post 1 picture of the new house especially for those of us in ATLANTA who can't just drop in and see the new place! :) Please post more! Congrats again on the house! Hope you're settling in nicely!

Love ya!
Lindsay
