We're Texans!

Well, we made it! Still not unpacked... I'm fairly certain the looming deadline of moving is the incentive to pack up, whereas once you arrive, there's nothing pushing to undo it all. And that's really what it is. Undoing all that box-packing that you so much dreaded in the first place!

Things are beginning to look as though they might settle s bit here over the next week. We've gotten groceries, cooked meals and just hung out all together. I'm really happy. The kids seem happy too. We went to a park the other night and everyone had a great time! The kids played and played. Then at bedtime Nate (oldest) said he didn't have any fun "today". I was puzzled, then it hit me. I said to him, "You know, you can have fun and like it here AND still miss our life and the people from NY." That surprised him, yet seemed to free him a bit. I told him I'd always miss my family. 

Yesterday was awesome! We met three families on our street and all of them have kids. Our neighbors to the left have a six yr old boy, he called our boys, "the bros". :) They showed him street hockey, and he showed them his playground (as Nicholas has termed it). It's super exciting to see! We cooked BBQ chicken in the slow cooker and had pulled chicken BBQ sandwiches. Everyone loved them!! Then we made a pretzel, caramel, chocolate dessert!

Today we made more unpacking progress, which is always a good thing. We also played street hockey and this evening wound everything down with a family walk with the dog. Tomorrow begins my last week before starting work. I'm a little nervous. Until next time...
