Okay, we have officially been in our home for 3 weeks now. We so much help the first 10 days as Travis's parents drove here in our new van to 1. bring us the van 2. help us unpack 3. but most important....BE WITH US! It was amazing to have their help unpacking & setting up. They know how to get the job done.
We are almost totally unpacked. Only the Theatre needs to be re-installed, then we are done. Montana has started school at an AMAZINGLY beautiful new school. I took a tour of it today & met all the special teachers. WOW. My school was crap compared to this one. The girls are signed up for swimming, dance, & gymnastics...they are not each doing all of them....Colleen has been invited to be in Joy school. I am excited about it. The other 3 ladies that are doing it are really neat! I am excited to work with them & have our kids socialize.
Now, my 3 year old. I am not sure what happened to her. I think that all of this change has been a bit much. She is ALWAYS crying. ALWAYS. It is embarrassing, especially when you are trying to meet people at church, on the street, at the park or at the school. She really just scares people off. She is REALLY loud & dramatic! Oh, well. She is taking a much needed nap right now.
We have had the 2 pine trees in the front of the house removed & all the hedges trimmed. The home looks much better! I am going to get 4 rooms repainted. I really miss the colors from our home in Calgary. This home is lovely, but the colors are bit more country than I am used too & I rather decorate more traditional/modern. Ohh, well. It will give me something to do over the next few years...right!
I am making a smilebox slide show right now. I had Tana take pictures of the house...maybe they would be a bit easier to understand from 5 feet high, instead!! It will be up soon!

Thanks for the update. I didn't know Coco was having such a hard time. Change is hard and she's had a ton!! Your elementary school wasn't crap--it was charming!
moving is sooo hard on little ones. She will eventually turn around, but it sounds like she is starting to realize that this isn't a vacation.
I CAN'T wait to see the house!! :-)
3 weeks in and already doing yardwork! You guys are a force!
The girls will have so much fun in all the classes, and I'm no child expert, but it sounds like Coco will have some really cool distractions to get over the loss. (of me - that's probably who she misses the most:)
I am excited to hear that you are in your house and things are working out.
I hope that things just keep getting better.
I'm happy that you guys are doing good and keeping busy. Cohen just turned 3 and he seems have a lot more dramatic, tear-filled moments too! Oh, and don't worry, Colleen is way too cute to scare people off!
We miss you guys!
