Arizona

We arrived in our new home state on Thursday and finally got our things delivered on Monday. It's a good thing that David had brought some essentials (like cookware and and air mattress) when he came out earlier!

Prior to leaving El Paso, we celebrated Tristan's 2nd birthday at the Incredible Pizza Company. The kids loved it - all the pizza and pasta you can eat, games, and just a kid friendly atmosphere where they could do as they pleased and not get in trouble for it.















The next day the movers came and packed up all our things and loaded them onto the truck. The kids had gone to daycare that day and had a little party with their friends to say goodbye. They did surprisingly well when they came home to a nearly empty house. David and I had set some things aside to take with us, and explained to them that the movers would bring the rest of their things on the truck.

We then spent 2 nights with friends while we packed up the rest of our things and got the house cleaned.
The kids did well on the trip here and David and I got to unload their mattresses in a major downpour when we arrived (it's monsoon season). We are busy unpacking boxes and trying to find a place for everything. We all really like our new home and are anxious to get all of our personal touches into it. I'll post pictures as soon as everything comes together (as together as it can get...).
