Settling In

Settling in...

Today has been a good, good day.  Daddy is hard at work and the kids and I are finding a groove.  The week is already full with squadron events, doctors appointments, AWANA, Bible study and a field trip.  I had hoped to start school again today (we took last week off for the move) but decided we'd take another few days.  Today, though, we have managed to: 

• Eat a hot breakfast together as a family. (Well, Daddy scarfed his and scooted out the door before I ever sat down, but...)
• The kids all played outside on their already-put-together playset with their new bestie from next door.  The boys even took turns humoring Zoë by pushing her on the swings.  
• The kids and I had Bible and prayer time this morning.
• We had a calm, quiet trip to the grocery store.  Seriously, one of our best trips EVER!  Thank you, Lord!
• ALL 3 ARE NAPPING!  AT THE SAME TIME!  Delightful.

Yep, it's a good, good day so far.  Praying the rest goes so smoothly.

Here are a few pictures of this week:
This is the kitchen with all of the boxes unpacked.  Nothing put away, just stuff e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.

I will say, moving so often into different houses makes organizing a challenge.  I am baffled by certain builders.  Seriously, what is the point of kitchen cupboards that can't even hold dishes or boxes of cereal because they aren't deep enough?!  I just started throwing away things as I organized.  Nevertheless, we roll with it and if you ever find yourself a guest in our home, snacks are in various, non-sensical cupboards, cereal is down by the stove and all the dishes, pots and pans are in the pantry.  Make yourself comfy!
