We're heere

Well, we're here.  At our new place.  My parents drove us down a few days ago, and today they left.  Its going to seem very quiet during the day for awhile.  I'll miss them, and I know the kids will, too.  Right after they left Amara drew a great picture of them and hung it on the refrigerator.  Incidentally, Alan's also gone right now - he loaded our moving truck this morning and its on the way out here.  In a matter of days we'll be trying to figure out what to do with stuff that we've forgotten all about.  And we'll have a washing machine, a bed, toys...

We did a little bit of exploring today.  We went to a park, and to Baskin Robbins.  I got lost a few times (nothing more than a minute or so), but always managed to find my way back home.  We live in a really dense, hilly area with lots of winding roads and its going to take some aimless meandering before I get the connections down.  I keep saying I need to get a map, though!  Its a little scary to go out exploring when I know I could get lost enough that I won't know how to get home.

I'm going to add some pictures of our house in the morning so I can reflect on our glamorous lifestyle later on.

Ok, so here are the pictures:

Here are the kiddos practicing their ballet poses in the living room.  We have a couch, at least.  And its comfy!!  And on your right you'll see our computer, which we also use as a tv on occasion.

A bed!  That's about it at this point, but that's ok!

Here's our bed.  Its pretty comfy, actually.

The giant pile of clothes I just brought with me.  Ack!  There has been much folding since this picture was taken.

And the kitchen/dining area.  Cooking/eating is actually working out better than I'd anticipated.
