Up and Running

All our utilities and most of our stuff is now functioning well at the new house! Hooray for only minor glitches and set backs!
This really should have been the hardest move we've ever done as a family. Our first move with two kids, a energetic preschooler and a six month old baby. Plus moving ourselves. Should have been a recipe for disaster. But it's been incredibly smooth. I think I might finally be getting use to this whole military-families-move-all-the-time thing.
But I think mostly it's just because this house is like a dream. In the six plus years Chris has been in the military the newest house we've lived in is the one we just left - built in the 1950s. This house is beautiful and so functional. I don't feel like we deserve it. .... But I'll take it! The last house feels like a cave in comparison.
Chris and I are doing great. The boys have had a rougher time. While Chris and I are good because we see all the great things this house does for us, I think the boys see more cons than pros to moving. Timmy's schedule is all thrown out of whack (he went into a deep sleep at 5:30 tonight). He keeps looking around his new bedroom with suspicion, like this isn't my room, why is my stuff here? David actually broke down yesterday. He couldn't find his clothes and then he couldn't find his laundry hamper. After he finally managed to get dressed, he came in the living room and told me he didn't want to live in the new house anymore. He wanted to go home. And then tears. And who should come in the door perfectly timed at that moment? Chris, with a brand-new Buzz Lightyear action figure David has been asking for for a month now. David decided he liked the house after all.
So, pictures to follow in a couple of days. But I'm content. We've worked hard this weekend (and so have some of our incredible friends!) and it certainly shows. I think there are five unopened boxes in the entire house.
