We have survived the move - barely! Moving is just the worst, and this one has been up and down. We moved on Friday of last week. The movers tried and succeeded in scamming us out of more money half way through our move. Scoundrels! Jeff and I spent most of Saturday cleaning the old house and yard, and then I went back on Sunday for more cleaning. I had to call in the Lolo and Dida reinforcement crew, and they spent 4 hours with me cleaning. Since Monday we have been trying to unpack, but life keeps getting in the way!
Since I wrote last, Jeff has had a birthday. Sadly it was his birthday on moving day, so we celebrated the day before. He turned 52! My mum made cupcakes and brought them over for a little celebration.
On Monday I took Arley back to the dentist. They are only 15 minute appointments where the dentist gives Arley some exercises to do and some gadgets to chew on. The point of them is to get Arley's tongue in a better position and his swallow reflex working properly before they fit him with the brace. He hates it all, and keeps insisting there is nothing wrong with his teeth! On a good note, he has had some major breakthroughs with his food this week. He now eats buttered spaghetti, spaghetti with tomato sauce, and pancakes. This is huge!!!
On Tuesday we went to Taekwon Do, and it felt so good to be doing it again after a couple of weeks off. Then we went up to Lolo and Dida's for lunch and to hang out until horse riding. After that, Zach came over for dinner. On Wednesday the kids went to see Clint at Chambers Island, and today, Clint took Arley fishing for two hours. The kids' OT took each of them out to a cafe to get them to order and pay for themselves. Arley had a really hard time with it :( Carmie rocked it!
So, Carmie loves our new house. Arley, not so much. He pretty much hates any kind of change. Jeff and I love it. This house is better in so many ways. The location is so much better for Jeff's business. The house is all renovated except for the bathrooms. The kitchen is unreal. We have more space, and I even have somewhere to paint, which I will be able to do if I ever get these boxes unpacked! All in all, it's been a good move :)
But I have to say, we are thoroughly exhausted!
