Our stuff is here! Our stuff is here!

This is an exciting day. Our belongings arrived! First, the relocation company sent people to collect all the rental furniture (we'll miss our comfortable German beds) and then the movers began moving our stuff in. Many, many boxes were sent right down to our basement.

It looks so strange to see our furniture here. It makes this move seem much more final. We're not just here on a 2 month-long trip, living in someone else's house, using their things.

The kids are thrilled and are having a great time unpacking their things and getting their rooms set up. And they have their clothes! and toys!

I only unpacked the necessities in our kitchen and most cooking things went to the basement. I figure items will only earn a place in our kitchen if they are actually sought out and used.

We are greatly anticipating having our computer set up so we can communicate with family and friends back home.
One funny item: Our bed is a high, four poster bed and the ceiling in our bedroom slants down on one side. So David has to bend over quite a ways to get around to his side of the bed. I will have to as well each morning when I make the bed, come to think of it. Or else we can crawl over the top of the bed.

The movers will be back tomorrow to unpack boxes for us. That will be a big help.
