We are in the new (old) house. We are here, living with odd sleeping arrangements while upstairs floors are being refinished, piecing together a new life with various odds and ends of stuff from our old one, making due with what we have this day, while we wait for the rest of our belongings to arrive and be unpacked sometime in the (hopefully) near future. We are all, relatively, unscathed by the move. Except for Charlotte, who has taken to defecating in the house and generally being a big pain in the bum.
Let it be known that moving is not easy.
In the space of time that occurred between my last post and this one, we have:
1. Celebrated Emma's THIRD birthday
2. Said goodbye to our home of over five years
3. Had a lovely end of summer vacation at Lapland Lake
4. Celebrated Emma's very first day of preschool
5. Celebrated Harry's first day of Pre-K
6. Walked to the balloon festival from our new-old house
7. Shuffled back and forth to different beds no fewer than six times while waiting for closings and for our floors to be refinished (stinky oil poly)
8. Welcomed the new West baby to the world. Congrats, Jeremy and Michele, and big siblings Isaac and Isabelle. We can't wait to meet the new little guy!
It's been a busy few weeks and we are, understandably, kind of exhausted. We're hoping to get back on track now that we are finally living in our house. We have a million things to do but most importantly we are trying to maintain some sort of schedule, some sort of sanity and security for our kids whose lives have been so disrupted these past few weeks. Soon, I tell myself, soon.
