Home

After 3 1/2 anxious weeks, we are finally in our home. This post is a bit late - we got in the house on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The story of those November weeks is long and sort of unpleasant, although we had a great time living next to and then with our friends. I'll just say that to be in our home for Thanksgiving (which was by no means a guarantee....) was wonderful. The 48-hours between getting in the house and sitting down to a Thanksgiving dinner were crazy! Unpacking the kitchen (but where to put everything? There aren't any kitchen cabinets!), cleaning floors and bathrooms, finding sheets and towels and setting up bedrooms for the four guests we had for the holiday, grocery shopping, etc. But, on Thanksgiving day we sat in our living room, next to our fire, with our family. So so good. We broke in the house well. In our first five days of living here we celebrated Thanksgiving, Jack's 38th (!) birthday and decorated our Christmas tree. And our guests rooms were occupied, which is exactly how we like them! I'll post pictures later. I just wanted to give the update. We're home!
