I'm very happy and relieved to announce we have moved and are in our wonderful new place (as of yesterday). Of course, I can't say we've moved "in" entirely as we are living in a maze of boxes. But hey, we're happy. I have the weekend to unpack. Or do I? Well, not really. Tomorrow, Isabella has her ballet/tap recital. She will be dancing two numbers as I mentioned before. We also have a Family Fun Day at Liam's school to get to. Also, some last minute pick-up items at our former residence (not to mention, our aquarium fish are still there. They'll be moving here tomorrow.)
It's been one crazy week. I've had to work. Isabella came with me to work on moving day while Edilberto was packing-up our house in a U-Haul - two trips! - with just one friend helping for just part of the day - that's what you get when you move on a weekday - and then, some other wonderful friends from my work came over with dinner late and we enjoyed their company and much appreciated the food.
The entire week's been extraordinarily busy. Liam at school with a lot of extra things going on. Isabella had ballet/tap dress rehearsal at the theater the evening of the day we moved OF COURSE!
On Edilberto's second trip to the new place with the U-Haul full again, he unloaded about 3/4 of the contents alone. Then, the kids got into action. Liam and Isabella were up and down the ramp to the back of the truck hauling out items and boxes. All the while they were singing and jolly. It was such a sight! Edilberto said it really blessed him to see them and gave him renewed energy to get on with the job. Our friends who came with dinner also helped get the last items unloaded.
Edil and I were up until 1:30 a.m. getting some essentials put into place, beds made, etc. He actually got our bed put together, but the kids were on their mattresses on the floor. Their bunk is more complicated to assemble. Little-by-little we'll get it all in place.
But even with the chaos, this house is beautiful and we're very delighted to be in.
