We've moved!

After tons of anticpating and packing craziness we've finally arrived safe and sound at our new house! Simon has been very relieved to see that all his toys made it and spent his first half hour or so here walking around saying, "Look Mommy, my movies made it! Look Mommy, my people made it! Look Mama my trains made it!" I think he was just in awe of the whole transition and has handled the whole thing absolutley beautifully. He was a little edgy those first few days that he spent at Grammie and Grump's house but did very well overall there. Last night was his first night in the new house and we had set up both his crib and his bed in his new (purple!) room. He chose the big boy bed for both bed last night and nap and bed tonight. He's taken to the new bed and hasn't looked back. What a big boy. He did ask me today when we were going home...still I don't think he quite gets it...must be so confusing for the little guy, it's just amazing how well he's done.

We've been busy unpacking, which has also gone very smoothly, most of the rooms are either done or waiting on something to be done, like hanging a medicine cabinet to put stuff into it. The office/Molly's room is waiting on shelving being custom made for the room so that room is full of boxes of books, the kitchen is waiting for our china hutch which hopefully is coming tomorrow. So there's things to do, but seems we're waiting on other things to happen first. In any event, the house is lovely, almost feels like home, I'm sure it will more so when ALL the boxes are gone. The neighborhood is great, aside from the (very nice) neighbors with the cars in the backyard (hello fence). I visited the local movie store tonight since we don't have TV to zone out to yet and it was just so nice to have something like that (and ice cream, the library a candy store and a yummy pizza place) all within a couple blocks of us. It's just so different from living in OOB. Everything is just so...close.

I'll post pics of the house soon, but right now I have no idea where the camera is and not a whole lot of energy to look for it!
