Moving thoughts

In the midst of the chaos and confusion of moving, these were the highlights:

  • As soon as we started carrying stuff outside to get ready for the truck, the Orosco family showed up the help.  And Elaine made coffee for me!
  • As soon as we pulled up to the new house, Yariani and her sister Evidelia were there to help us unload.
  • Princess came running into the house to declare: "Mommy!  our good neighbor has a puppy!"  Ten minutes later she came to say, "I picked him up and he didn't bite me!"
  • After we installed a couple of outdoor faucets, I came out to find both of the girls taking an impromptu outdoor shower.
  • The first night, when we were going to shower, we discovered that the water comes out luke warm, not chilly like on our little mountain in Chilibre.  Abigail actually sang during her whole shower.
  • As we were unpacking, somewone from the firestation came to inspect the wiring and approved it!  Any day now they should come and hook it up.
  • The day after we moved, Fransisco and his family came and spent the morning with us, helping us unpack.  We felt very welcome.
Hopefully we will be all moved in soon and things will fall into a good routine. Looking forward to that day!
