Out of the Cave

I feel like I have been living in a cave for two weeks. I haven't had the internet and have been detached from all of you for so long. I never realized how much I depend on this silly thing!

We've made it to Colorado! We had a great trip. Thanks to my dad for helping us out. We wouldn't have made it without him. There was only one time when Mazie got sick and that was when we reached the mountains. Honestly, I started to get a little sick myself. It was ok and we pressed on to make it here last Friday just in time to make it to Mazie's school's open house. She thought it was great to meet her teacher and show Pop Pop her new classroom.

We spent the rest of the weekend unpacking the things we brought from California. This is what the kids were doing while we were unpacking boxes...

Monday, I had to take Mazie to school for an hour orientation. Basically it was to meet her teacher and to get her expectations of us and vice versa. Mazie officially started school on Tuesday. Boy, I was not ready! I thought her going to preschool was hard. She was so excited and I was so proud but sad. She walked right up to the gate with her backpack on and was ready to go! She had a really great week. The afternoon kindergarten is just what Mazie needed.

Thursday, the movers came with the rest of our things. I really didn't know where to start. Since earlier in the week we made spaghetti and meatballs and Jamie commented that she was happy to have supper back, I decided to tackle the kitchen first. Poor Jamie, she is so sick of eating out! Can't really blame her.

And here's proof that Jamie will sleep anywhere. She laid down on Jacob's little play mat and fell asleep while the movers were packing their stuff up.

We have about half of the house to go. The kids rooms, dining, and kitchen areas are complete. I think my goal to have the house ready for entertaining by Labor Day weekend is do-able! Anyone out there interested in joining us for a cookout that weekend?
