All moved in...now onto homeschooling and house hunting.

Our movers arrived with all 432 items/boxes last Tuesday - whew, that's a lot o' cardboard!  Greg's boss generously allowed him to take the whole day off to help us unload and settle in even though it was only his 2nd official day on the clock.  He is enjoying his new job as Continuous Improvement Specialist at FMC and is learning more and more every day there about the oil supply business.  He was assigned his first project on Thursday and he's pretty gung-ho about chipping in and leading others to work together to be consistent. 

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.
