Moving and a time to celebrate


Moving!



Thursday, July 12. We are moving apartments just a few buildings over in our complex.   Our lease ran out in our current one and some friends were moving out, so we got to move in.  We were expecting to move sometime mid-July, but weren't exactly sure when.  We were slowly packing up and then last week I got a terrible stomach bug, ending up in the E.R.  It was a horrible experience and I came home to severals days of the kids having sick stomach and fevers, then our apartment was ready for us to move into sooner than we thought. So, life was kind of crazy this week, but we spent all day Tuesday and Wednesday moving and we were able to sleep in the midst  of boxes Wednesday night.  It is slowly coming together and the kids have been helping and amusing William who an crawl faster that you think.  I love our new place. It is on the 7th floor, unfortunately with no elevator, but we just take it slow, very slow.  My favorite thing is that it gets lots of light....now where we live grey, smoggy, cloudy days definitely outnumber sunny days, so when we do have sun I am so thankful it can pour in.    We celebrated July 4th with some friends, without fireworks, but we had fun being together. The kids made it so fun. We called it "America's birthday" and Laura Cate kept referring to it as the "America's country birthday party!"
