Moving In

The first day (Saturday) was spent signing paperwork, getting groceries, and trying to find warm enough clothes for the girls somewhere in our luggage. Although we hear it's in the 80's back home, it's hovering around 70 here. Dave had hired a couple movers to help unload the truck and carry the furniture. They had everything stacked in the apartment within a couple hours. My mom has been staying with us to help me unpack, which has been a huge blessing.

Today (Sunday) was spent mostly unpacking, running errands, and doing laundry. We set up Eva's room as closely to her old room as possible, and she seems to be adjusting well. In typical toddler fashion, she's taking advantage of every opportunity to get into things she shouldn't. It was cloudy and rainy in the afternoon, so Mom took us out to dinner to get a break. It was a sports bar and grill, with the Yankees/Red Sox game on one TV, and the Chargers/Patriots on the other. Naturally, Dave needed to see how they ended, so he hurriedly installed the TV as soon as we got home. The community college across the street hosted a heritage festival all day, and was blaring mariachi music well into the evening. It's as if we never left home!
