Update!!

So I haven't got around to posting pics yet, I'm hoping to do that in the next couple of days. We did however get the first floor painted..yaaa! The house looks so much better and more like home now! We're getting very close to being settled in. Most of the boxes are unpacked, most of our things are put away, we just have to hang our photos and things and paint Olivia's room! I could spend some serious $$ finishing off this house, making it look the way I want it to look, but I'm just going to have to be patient.

The kids have made so many friends over the past couple of weeks, and I feel like there are always a few extra kids in my house or yard now. It's kinda weird and nice at the same time :) We did a movie night for the kids on our street last Friday night, Tim hooked up the projector and they sat in the drive-way and watched it on our garage!! It was a good time, I think we ended up with maybe like 25 kids here that night.

School has been going great, I love all of the kids teachers!! We're still kinda getting use to getting to school around 7:00 am, but the benefit is they are home at 1:45!! The school has been more than wonderful with Olivia, and really has impressed me with the level of care they are willing to give her! There is a great nurse at the school who really makes sure everyone is trained in what to do for her. I'm also only 1 mile from the school so that always makes me feel a little better.

The panic of not being home has completely left me, sometimes I think holy crap I'm not in MI anymore!!! But we're settled and happy here for now. I often have to remind myself that it's only been a few weeks. Leaving your home is not easy, I think MI will always be our home, but we needed somewhere a little different to actually live.
