Home sweet home

We are finally in our new house. We're all beginning to feel settled. There are still boxes here and there and things to be done, but we are home and that is all that matters. It was so nice to see our furniture and sleep in our bed. It was a blessing seeing the kids eyes light up when they saw toys that they had forgotten they even had. We had Christmas in August all over again. I wanted to post some pics of our house and I will soon, but it still isn't quite there yet. :) Over the past week, we haven't had internet or cable, that is why I haven't posted a blog lately. It was kind of nice though to not have the distraction of the television or the temptation to check facebook and email. Instead, I worked my tooshy off all day long putting stuff where it belongs. The kids have been great at entertaining themselves and each other while I do what needs to be done. Craig has kept busy too, when he gets home in the evening. I always have a to do list for him and he is very good at checking it off.
The house is so peaceful right now...Jackson is sleeping and Anna Claire is with Craig. They ran to the college to make sure all the v-ball players are getting moved in okay. Ahhh, tis the season for volleyball...:( I'd be lying if I said I was happy about that. As you coaches wives out there can relate, it is a lonely time, but also a time to be supportive of your husband and his passion. We won't see a lot of Craig over the next couple of months, so I'm hoping my positive attitude towards this move continues. Last year as I was voicing my concerns about v-ball season to my friend Jen, she brought up a good point. She said, instead of dreading the season why not take this oppurtunity to serve your husband and his team. She ask me what are some things I could do to serve them b/c when you give to others it brings joy. Have you ever noticed that? The more you give the better you feel? So, instead of having a pity party I'm going to try to have more of a positive attitude about this volleyball season. So if any of you out there have any creative, inexpensive ideas on what I could do for the girls on his team please let me know!
Okay, off to take my Sunday afternoon siesta! Love you all!
