Scenes From A Move

After a long few days, we are officially 'moved in' to our new home. We love it. For the first time, we actually have enough space for everything. The kids love the new digs, and are settling into life here without any anxiety or stress. They are too busy enjoying the stairs to notice that they aren't in the old apartment anymore.

The process of unpacking is still ongoing, though we are almost finished with everything other than our basement library. Because of this stellar progress that we have made, we rewarded ourselves with a bit of fun adventure time today. We worked in the morning, but then took the afternoon to drive around and explore our new neighborhood and the surrounding area. We found some beautiful parks along the Mississippi River that we hadn't yet visited. We enjoyed the lovely scenery, and Miss especially enjoyed the freedom of running as fast as she could down the wooded trails. It was so nice to emerge from the piles of boxes and cardboard for a while.

Here are some pictures from the past few days:

Master enjoys his first breakfast in the house.

Miss enjoys a new bear friend, brought by some wonderful women from our church, who also brought us some super-tasty "hotdish" and "Minnesota-Church-Lady-Tradition-Jello" for supper. Oooo . . . . and a pie!
Master *really* likes being able to look out our door to the outside world.
