'Bama Bound and Breaking In






OK~we're here in Montgomery, AL. Yet another move, this one in record time. That's cause the kiddos were at their grandparents' house. Thank GOD. Seriously right now the sound of a box cutter razing through anything gives me the heebie jeebies.
It's definitely been eventful so far. We expected hot and humidty, but not these crazy ALL DAY cloudy thurnderstormy days we've had for the past week. You know, the kind that are barly shy of hurricanes with hail and wind damage, power outages everywhere and trees down (see pic). It's kind of a mojo killer in terms of the pool. I will attend my beach vacation as the pasty one.
So far, we've nearly entirely moved in, done some great eating and good shopping, seen a great friend from Charleston TWICE, found docs and hair cutters and all that good stuff, played once in our new special backyard inflatable pool (see weather comments), enjoyed the spectacular 'hood pool twice (once cut short to weather, again), VERY nearly avoided an ER trip when C went flying out of the grocery cart headfirst onto a vegetable can (see pic), lived with lots of bugs I'ver never evne seen before, including a black widow (that's not what is pictured but you get the idea), shopped on July 4th because we had to, and even already found two great babysitters and had a date night. Kaitlin and Carson have both met new friends, as you can see by the top pics where AG was teaching K "Yoga" and then they were doing their Yoga resting in bed. Whew! I think that's all in a week and a half. I might need to slow down. But it's been so much fun to catch up with "old" friends and meet new ones and anticipate more coming. Living here isn't entirely different than dorm life, which is fun in that many of your friends are very close by. Still, we miss our family and hope to get home soon!
But so far, so good. We love it here.
Cheers!
K&J and kiddos
PS. Don't make fun of my technological slowness (or do, I don't care). These pics are all from my iPhone and so you might have to turn your head 90 degrees. It's good for your flexibility.
