we've landed....

We arrived here Wednesday afternoon after a very long journey from San Diego.
Its been an interesting time getting moved in! We had a pipe burst because apparently the heat wasn't always being used in this house which has been vacant for awhile, and its been VERY COLD here! We've had some issues with the washer hose in the same pipe as the dishwasher hose, oh yeah the dishwasher is between our washer and dryer, which makes it very interesting! We've had to mop up water twice already! Josh is working on it! We had to have the plummers return again to get the water running in our only full bathroom. So we think most of our plumbing issues are for the moment taken care of for the house! Other than that the house is perfect!
Jonas is happy to have lots of other 7 year old boys on our street, which we met within an hour of being at our house! There aren't too many girls that we've seen yet. The kids start school on Monday, barring any snow that could come this way. (Keeping fingers crossed that this doesn't happen as we need to get things unpacked without distractions!)

i told you the house was cute. i didn't say anything about it be structurally sound:) i can't believe it hasn't been lived in for two years. that's crazy! i think you'll really like it there. you know all about old homes in norfolk. they can be adorable, but they are a handful sometimes, too.
i'm sorry about lunch yesterday. i didn't know that was the plan. i was barely squeezing in the card exchange. we had friends coming in town unexpectedly. way too much going on right after a trip. see you tomorrow. i'll try to hang around the hallway and catch you there!

That is a funny place for a dishwaher! Good luck getting things unpacked and settling in! I'll cross my fingers the kids head to school, I know how "helpful" they can be. (by the hug all the girls for me! I am jealous- you're going to have fun, they will take good care of you)
