All Moved In, Sort of

Hi to everyone from Texas! We are finally moved in (if you don't count the several boxes hiding in the garage). We are also finally back on the internet. It took forever for us to get connected here so hence the month long delay in updating.

The kids are going great. Our flight from LA was uneventful which is an amazing thing to say with triplets +one. Our only snag was in security when G decided that he was not really into taking his shoes off before going through the security line. I think he thought they were going to take his shoes forever or something, but other than that not much to report.

The rain clouds have finally lifted. It rained every single day for the first two weeks we were here. The kids loved it the first couple days since rain is not something you see everyday in Los Angeles. In fact in the two years we lived there we really only saw it rain a handful of times, but that fascination quickly wore off since they realized they couldn't go out in the rain all the time. The plus side is I have never seen Dallas this green at the end of July. Usually by now everything is dried up and brown and there have been several days of 100+ temps. Now admittedly we are wimps after spending time in California because low 90's is hot, but the kids don't seem to notice.

The kids also love the "new house" which is what they are still calling it. Having stairs to run up and down has been super exciting for them and a little room to spread out has been nice. The backyard though leaves much to be desired. It is really small compared to our yard in California, but we are adjusting.

S is finally starting to take a liking to Texas although that was debatable up until recently. For days she cried that she hated it here and wanted her old house and her old friends. She is like her momma...she hates change! She misses playing outside and looking for critters. Unfortunately she is learning lots of Texas critters bite. She still loves bugs but now asks me if they will bite or sting her before she tries to capture one. She is ready to go back to school since the kids don't start until late August again here, but she is still saying she doesn't want to go to a new school. So we will see how that one goes.

We have really enjoyed having the grandparents close by and the kids are being spoiled rotten, but we miss California too. Hopefully later in the week I can update with some pictures of some of new adventures in the big state of Texas!
