The kids and I spent all day Wednesday and Friday unpacking boxes. Thursday, we took a break and SaraKay had a playdate with a friend and her girls that live here in the apartment complex. (Yes, a new friend!!! Yay!) Daniel and I went on house tours with our realtor for a few hours Thursday morning, and then we all came back to the apartment and kind of chilled out.
Saturday, Greg and I told one another that we needed to have a more relaxed weekend than we'd had the last 3 weeks because we were wearing a bit thin from all the unpacking and busy, busy, busy. Now, if we could only magically locate our bedroom comfortor and sheets without busting into more cardboard! (smile)
Sunday, we went back to The Woodlands Church because the kids wanted to see what their kids worship was like and Greg and I wanted to hear Dr. Charles Lowry one more time. Next Sunday, we'll probably start looking for somewhere a little closer to home.
We drove around a few more neighborhoods this afternoon and enjoyed an Italian meal out at Buca Restaurant.
Last night, after going to the pool together and then onto H-E-B to shop for a few
groceries, Greg and I hosted a movie "preview" to watch "The Wand Of Lore," the film
in which our kids took part during Vidalia's Movie Camp, mid-July.
I got inspired by a FAMILY FUN article to make a FAIRY house out of melon. The kids
had a ball and the movie was so, so cute! They had had such fun being actresses and actors in Jackson, John and Ala's REAL movie.
So, we're settling in, and while we miss friends in sweet Onion country, we are thankful to be able to follow God's lead and bloom where He has planted us for this season of life.
