Update on the New Home

Well as of tomorrow the apartment is gone! We are in the house just not all unpacked. Phone lines, cable and utilities are up a running. It's been a crazy couple weeks and at times overwhelming even having movers. I'm learning the ropes to having a upstairs and downstairs. Toys are everywhere and I can't keep up with Bradley. I finish one area and he's moved onto the next. He is loving it and you can't see his bedroom floor it's covered in toys! It's like Christmas came early but he still wants everything on the commercials. He keeps reminding me about his birthday! We are down to the last 30 boxes out of three hundred so progress is being made. I don't see Zach much when he is home he is with the neighbor boys on their motorcycles in the tree trails behind our home or with his pellet gun out hunting then with the computer up at night playing online games with his friends from California. It's a boys haven here and Mark is looking forward to doing more as soon as we get a bit more settled. Morgan is busy keeping up on school work and her games from soccer (just ended) and volleyball (she was excited our team won the undefeated team last Saturday). This weekend is the final show down for the volleyball matches. Basketball for Zachary ended last Wednesday. We are all looking forward to a break from school and sports for the Holidays! It's going to be a different Holiday here being away from family we will be thinking of everyone back in California. Mark is busy working and will be traveling to Texas in December. We saw a gaggle of wild turkeys pecking the ground this morning on the way to school and their feathers were fluffed. They were beautiful. Zach said they were eating their last meal (real funny huh!) any ways, that is our comic for us wish I had the camera to share with all. We'll look for them tomorrow. I'll lock up the gun until after Thanksgiving! Anyways all is well just keeping busy cleaning out the apartment and unpacking our home here. Trying to place everything in it's rightful home. We've so far only lost some of the heirloom items (murphy's law) that was disappointing but will salvage what we have left of them. I think we are missing one crate still. Anyways, enough of moving we are all doing well. Halloween was fun and a ton of creative decorated homes and tons of kids. We took a small road trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway just to get away from the boxes this last weekend. It was very nice and beautiful about 2 hours north of us in a town called Boone (picniced in Daniel Boone Park). We scouted out some things we'd like to do in the future here but enjoyed our day exploring. We are making the house our home and really like it so far. It still was so difficult letting go of our home in Sacramento. Hope the new owners realize all the hard work, love and money that went into their home there. It about made us literally sick signing the final papers. We will miss our neighborhood terribly. Love to everyone!!! Miss you guys!
