We MOVED!

Okay, so I don't have any pictures to post of our new place BUT I am still in the process of "putting things away." The only things that are REALLY being put away are kitchen items. We have left our stuff in storage in Texas, in hopes that we will be going back soon but it seems that we are meant to be in So Cal for now. We bought Adam a "big boy bed" and a mattress for us and a tv that is coming in a few days maybe. BUT we got A LOT of things from my mom and sister Beebe: a couch, pots and pans, BRAND NEW cookie sheets and loaf pans and hot pads, a toaster oven, flatware, bowls, food, serving utensils, measuring stuff, blankets, a bed for Austin (which he is having a fabulous time climbing out of), towels, food, table and chairs, huge bag of wheat to go with my wheat grinder, more food DVD player and I am sure there is more but it is dark and I am tired. Maybe there will be pictures when I can entertain my childrens with tv next week (yes that is right, NO TV). Adam asked me today if he could watch tv, I reminded him there was no tv. Then I set up the laptop with Tarzan, they watched about half of it. I guess watching a movie on a laptop isn't the same as watching Papa's tv. Oh I am using someone else's internet, I am so glad that someone is unsecure because I would probably be back at Mom and Dad's tomorrow if I didn't.
Another Adam story, last night on our way home from Sam's Club, Adam asked where we were going, I told him home. He seemed alright with my answer until we pulled up to the gate to our complex. He said "no, not here." So Bryan asked him where he wanted to sleep and his response was "home." We told him we were home and he said no. So Bryan asked him who would be sleeping in the house with him (because of the many questions, I didn't quote, were making him frustrated), Adam responded "Ga." I loved it so much I had to call her and of course Adam had to talk to her before I could.
Adam started wearing his underwear consistently today. We went to the grocery store and to Wal-Mart and he wore underwear both times with no accident, but at home it was a different story. I think he wants to do it but we will see if we (his parents) can stick with.
I am going to try to put more stories about the boys on here so I remember what they are saying and doing now. Adam is almost three and I am feeling like he shouldn't be that old already. It's like Dad says "time goes faster when you are older" and "you should write this stuff down because I can't remember the funny stuff you did and this is funny."

**I probably should have titled this "Stuff About Adam and a little about the rest of us"**
* Anyone that wants to sleep on an air mattress is more than welcome to visit, we are minutes, okay like 20 if traffic is good, from Disneyland and we have a park up the street and the beach is minutes but I don't know how many because I am afraid to take the boys there by myself. Basically, I am trying to persuade you to visit so whatever you need to hear to come, I am saying.

Sounds like fun! Hope you get your TV soon. We'd love to come visit...if we had time or money. We will be sleeping on air mattresses this summer during our internship adventure. And yes, my sister and mom are coming in two weeks...then my sister again in June. Good luck adjusting. It sounds like three year olds really hate moving. Briel is throwing fits about our move to Tyler, too.

Good for you! I hate moving. It sounds like you have a good attitude about it all, though. Now I need your new address so I can send the birthday boy a little something. Or should I just send it to Ga's house?

Good move, Karin! I'm proud of you. In a few days it will be home sweet home and you'll be like, Wow, I can't believe we lived at Mom & Dad's that long!

If I ever get the chance, I'm totally gonna crash at your pad. If you don't escape to TX first, that is.
