Alive and...

When I called my mom last night after the worst of the move was over, she said she was glad to know we were alive and kicking.  I told her that I thought it was not so much "kicking" as "twitching" or perhaps plain 'ol muscle spasm.

The move actually went better than expected.  I am very much impressed by how well our furniture suits this house.  It looks like an entirely different place.  When I brought Hannah and Caroline home from my friends house (where they had stayed most of the day), Hannah ran around the whole house screaming with glee and saying "I LOVE my new house!" and informing me of each and every item that had miraculously relocated itself here.  She even told me the new cabin is "in her heart."

So I'm feeling quite good about this whole move.  Much more to be done though, as we still have a TON of packing and storing and cleaning left to do at the old house.  Not to mention the finishing touches here.  I'll post some pictures of it all soon.

Julia, I'm so happy to hear the move went so well. And Hannah's reaction just has me so verklempt! (sniff, sniff) I know the time leading up to the move has been traumatic for you. I hope you all make nothing but happy memories in your new home! :D

Hannah's reaction is wonderful! Thanks for sharing that.

Three year olds. :) That's so sweet.

Can we see photos when everything is all together? I am sure it's cozy and pretty.

I'm so glad for you.

I was worried about the (most recent) move and my daughter's reaction. We brought her home from daycare, and she said, "That's my bed!" And she was totally at home.

Maybe this is a sign that the future holds many good things. Thinking of you and wishing you the best

Nice! All of it, but especially Hannah's reaction.

And I take it the cabin is now connected to the internets? Sweet.

I'm really glad things are starting off well. I hope this change brings you some huge economic relief, some simplicity...and hopefully things will turn around in such a way that this becomes a great way to save up money and get back to where you want to be soon.

I think you're going to make the most of it and come out of all of this stronger.

I've been thinking of you all so much. I checked out the pictures on Flickr and it looks like you are settling in - I agree, your furniture looks nice there!
