Getting Unpacked!

Oh my goodness! NEVER EVER make a move across the US right after having a baby! I ended up holding Thaddeus for a little this afternoon and fell asleep on the couch with him! First little nap I have had since, uh, well, I guess the hospital! Slept in the car, but that's not the same! I really wanted to have alot of the kitchen un packed, but i only got half the cupboards cleaned out! Oh well! That's life! ;o) The kids have been really good considering what we put them through! We went back to the hotel tonite and got our suitcases and they were like, we are going to take them to the new house, right? They have been running around and exploring the house and yard and everything! They seem to really like their new home! They have asked for some people back in Iowa and told them we can write them, but to far to go visit them right now.
i am so dead right now! But love LOVE the house! We are running into a little problem. We were a LITTLE spoiled with our closet space in Iowa, and not so much here. BUT, I am NOT complaining! It will just take me a little longer to figure out where to put everything and good way to condense even more! :o) The kids pretty much have the upstairs to themselves. The kids rooms are up there, but a nice landing that will have the games and bookshelf. Then there is the play room with 2 sky lights, SWEET!!!
My parents are coming out here tomorrow. I told the family that I didn't want any help right now, that we just need to be left alone to settle and get used to everything. Then my mom calls me and says, hey dad and I are coming whether you want us to or not! You came out here when I broke my arm with the 3 kids and cooked and clean for us, so we are going to come out and help you! I was ticked, but fine now! :O) So they will be here sometime tomorrow, and will leave either Mon or Tues.
Took some pics of the kids and the scenery on the way out here, but haven't had a chance to download them to Curt's computer yet.
It is so nice and quiet where we are! LOVE IT!!!!! We are about 10 minutes from town, but way off the road. BUT depending on what time of day you leave, that 10 min trip could take you 45 min! But I kinda know when and when not to go out! Gonna figure out some back ways to get into town too. That sounds so funny, get into town! :O) It is absolutely beautiful out here! Come visit us! Just give me another month or so to get the house somewhat in order! ;o) it may take me longer, who knows! LOL
Will try to get some pics posted soon! Can't promise anything though! :O)

I can't even begin to imagine how tired you must be. I moved with a 6 week old - so at least I was fully recovered (physically anyway) :-)
So glad you are loving the house - can't wait to see more pix!
Enjoy your help and get some rest!!!

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
