Moving In

After many weeks in the TLF we finally got to move into our house.  The house was available right away but the moving company was so busy they couldn't schedule our delivery for a couple weeks.  But the day finally came.  The movers set up some cardboard and plastic in the house for the moving in.  We decided to live on base this time.  This is our first time on base, so I hope I'm not sorry.  The house is smaller, but all things considered we decided this was the best option...so on to moving in!

One of the big challenges was keeping the kids contained and keeping Johnny happy.  When the bouncy chair showed up in the moving stuff I grabbed it right away.

 John liked having a place to sit

 Here's Anna sitting with John during the move in

 And John eventually fell asleep while the movers were still at it.

Such a good sleeper

 But he was back up soon enough and testing out furniture for us

This is the living room looking into the kitchen

 Living Room again

 We have a lot of boxes to get through

 The guest room mattress.  The kids named it Mt. Kilimanjaro and started climbing it

 On the first night we just wanted to have the beds set up

John tested out our bed once it got put together

Scott bunked our bunk beds.  Anna and Matthew are sharing a room right now, which I'm a little sad about but I think it had to happen.  This house is a bit smaller than our Colorado house.  I was sad unpacking all the little boy room and little girl room things that we couldn't or wouldn't use here.  Hmmm.  We'll see how this sharing thing works out.

 John playing on two of the couches that were smooshed together.

We are SLOWLY unpacking.  Anna was excited to find her monkey and her jammies.  It feels like a big job now especially since we are fitting BIG house stuff into a medium size house, but maybe it will help us downsize a bit.
