Jonas and I moved in with Duane, Brynn, and Bransen Saturday after the wedding. We had fun setting up the kids new rooms and organizing some of our things.
Duane built Jonas and Bransen super cool new bunk beds. They had fun playing some kind of "throw the stuffed animal" game.
Brynn trying out her bed in her new room.
We only had one meltdown (Jonas - involving stuffed animals). I would say that is a pretty successful first night all together in our new home. It was great to have all the kids with us to be able to read stories, pray, and get ready for bed together.
On Sunday, we moved the rest of things from the apartment and had everyone out to our house for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. We are so busy in the next few weeks that this was the only time we could all get together for Easter!
The kids all found TONS of chocolate eggs (we're actually still finding some!), and had a great time running around the house together. They spent a pretty good amount of time playing outside before and after the hunt. What a beautiful day (and another successful bedtime)!
Monday night was just Jonas, Duane, and I. Jonas and Duane bonded over some tractor playing!
Squeak made it home from his visit in my Kindergarten room on Tuesday. Jonas took a little nap with him on the drive home from school.
Tuesday, Brynn managed to yank out another tooth! If you know Brynn, you know she can't stand to have a loose tooth in her mouth and she gets it out pretty quick! Another visit from the Tooth Fairy!
These first few days have been great. It is so awesome to have us all together, under one roof, for more than 1 day! We know that there will be many things to overcome in the next several months and years, but I am truly thankful for the gift of my new husband, step-son, and step-daughter. I am thankful for the fact that all our kids get along so well, and that I having a loving, supportive husband. Thanks for sharing in some of our first memories of sharing our new home together!
