Well, we've been here for 11 days (and nights) now. Its crazy- some days it feels longer- and other days- it doesn't. But, in the past 11 days we have made some major progress on the house and getting everything unpacked and in its place. Curtains are hung, pictures are in place (for the most part), comforters are resting on their beds, and furniture has been arranged and rearranged. Today, we officially unpacked the garage enough to park both of our vehicles into the garage. With my big SUV, its a tight fit- but we'll make it work. So far, we love it. The size of the house is still tremendous for us. The kids love having their own space and we love having enough room to comfortably entertain. As of yesterday, the kids (except Sophie) were all officially registered for school- which starts on Thursday (YES, THIS Thursday). Tomorrow morning, Chris and I have a meeting at Sophie's school with the county representative for student services, the principle of the school, and Sophie's new pre-school teacher. This meeting will HOPEFULLY go over smoothly, however, we are having to transition services that Soph has been receiving in Maryland to Tennessee- and to make sure that all of her needs are adequately addressed. There are some technicalities that we need to work through with the school but we're hoping that everything goes easily. We'll know tomorrow when Soph will be officially able to start school- we're hoping Thursday or Friday- but we'll see.
Chris was able to drive down on Friday night and will be here with us through Sunday afternoon. I'm glad to have him home. It doesn't much feel like home with him not being here. He continues to plug away with his job coming to an end and has been given the opportunity to "work from home" here in Tennessee somewhat frequently so that he can be with us. I am grateful.
Since Chris was home on Sunday- we went to a new church in Brentwood, which is about 15 minutes from the house. The kids all really liked it. And I think we are going to go again this coming Sunday. So far, we like everything we know about the church- and we've done some pretty thorough research. I guess time will tell. Pray that we find the right place to worship for our family.
I updated SOME photos on Facebook with a new album of pics of our house. I'm missing a kitchen picture- but other than that, right now there are photos of the whole lower level. I'll upload a kitchen pic here shortly. Photos of the upstairs will follow at some point this week. Keep checking back. Here is a link to the album.
So in short- so far so good. I'll update again in the next week with more details of the kids start of their new school and anything else that might be happening.
