We're Back!

After three lonely weeks without internet, we are finally back in business! I can't believe how lonely and isolated I felt without e-mail and my blog! Our internet service was connected last week, but we have been having major problems with it. Today, after 4 calls to tech support, countless hours of frustration for Morgan, exchanging the router twice, and a visit from a computer service guy (I'm not sure what they're called), we finally have reliable internet service. I have taken some pictures of our house, and will post them soon.

The kids are all doing really well. We had school orientation today, and their school is huge! Tomorrow is kindergarten orientation, and we will sign up for home visits. I think it is so neat that the teachers come and visit the new kindergartners at home during the first week of school. Lydia won't start school until September 5th, but Braden starts this coming Monday. Braden and Lydia have also started soccer, and they love it.

Liam is such a joy. He is getting more and more active, and sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with him. Whenever I change a diaper I think "so this is what it would be like to try and put a diaper on a tornado!" He seriously tries to twist around and crawl away every time I change him, and I emerge from the experience exhausted, sweaty, and too enamored by his sweet personality to truly be annoyed.

I have been so busy the past few weeks unpacking and setting up our new home. I love it here, and have so much to share about our experiences. I will keep you all updated, so come back soon -- hopefully I will get the chance to post some pictures of the house, our most recent day-trip, and Liam's official birthday party.
