All of our belongings (in their boxes) are now resting in the dust of the new house. The move went smoothly and we are now living in an apartment with nothing but a few dishes, a lot of luggage, an air mattress and Simon's old crib mattress. Simon wouldn't nap today even though he was clearly exhausted so we're hopeful he might at least attempt to sleep this evening. His only concern about the move so far was asking multiple times: "Where are the beds?"

Unfortunately, everything else has not gone as smoothly. The glass tile we ordered three weeks ago finally arrived. It won't work on the floor contrary to what the "expert" at Expo Center told us. As it isn't able to be returned, it will now be wall tile and hopefully look nice instead of odd. The rectangular (subway) wall tile we ordered is, in fact, triangles. They MUST take that back under punishment of intense suffering. The microwave won't fit and must be returned and replaced. And the replacement kitchen tiles for those that broke in transit haven't arrived.

On the positive side we chose seven paint colors in less than 20 minutes the other night. And, really, is there a more obvious sign that two people were meant to be together?

Our new camera wasn't performing so well at its debut on Sunday. Luckily, Darienne was there with her new camera and it works dandy...

Tomorrow will be our final day of assured access to the Internet for a week. We'll be flying to Texas to spend two days and then we are off to Florida for a week of Disney Cruise and Disney Parks. Once we are completely worn out we fly up to Cape Cod for a week of relaxation. It is hard to believe this vacation (planned years ago) is finally here.
