Moved In

Wow. Going to be real short and sweet here(yeah right). We packed the moving truck last Sunday(May 1st), drove all day May 2nd(heading out at 4:30 am and arriving at 12:30 am) on minimal hours of sleep(mine was like 3 hours) and unpacked the vehicles May 3rd. My days and times are still out of whack. I am finding it hard to believe that it is May 9th already. I feel like this first week of May has been a blur and soon we will be planning birthday parties(one next week and two in June), summer activities (swimming lessons, camping, conferences, retreats, reunions) and then the new baby(due in early August). Time is going by too fast.
This new town we live in seems to be the biggest city in the county(which is not saying much) , other than the Walmart, Meijer and Save-A-Lot I have yet to find a grocery store. The Walmart is a super Walmart.
The girls marvel at the quietness of the stores. I am amazed at the city streets being so quiet. We took a nice walk around our neighborhood. It was very peaceful. We found the community pool(3 blocks) and the elementary school that has a playground(4 blocks).
We are slowly getting everything unpacked.
We bought a grill and have grilled out a lot since we have arrived. I'm loving it.
Our dishwasher is not working right, we have yet to investigate the reason why. But I am loving doing the dishes(If you know me at all you know how weird that is... I LOVE dishwasher and HATE doing dishes). We still have two clothes washers and two clothes dryers. But the washer will be changed out soon.
Cloth diapers.
I started cloth diapering with Nathaniel. We have 8 of them. So it has been a wash every day process and trying to use the rest of the disposables that we have. I love them. I'm not sure why I didn't switch to this earlier. We have not had any leaks yet and we have had 3 poop filled diaper experiences. Still loving it. I know I will need to invest in a few more in order to do this full time with Nathaniel and probably soon, I'm trying to only use the ones we have today to see how many he goes through.
Well.. there is so much more to say but I've been online all morning.
