Our household shipment arrived yesterday, and we were excited but also dreading receiving it at the same time. We have lived without our stuff for 2.5 months and have been doing just fine. There were definitely things we were happy to see, and others things we said, why did we pack that?
Caleb wanted to help the minute they arrived.
They were friendly and hard-working, and they really liked the boys :). Caleb made friends with the men quickly and was a big helper.
Ben had no problem finding a pair of hands to hold him.
When he was not being held, he watched in awe as they brought boxes into the house.
Caleb was very happy to see his pooh bear train and wagon.
Where's Ben? He's hiding in a box of toys!
And toys these boys have. It was like Christmas opening all of the boxes, and fun to see the boys playing with the 'new' toys and books.
After some snacks, high fives, and handshakes, the movers left. They did a great job!
Tes came over later that day to watch the boys so we could unpack. She also helped me unpack things in the kitchen when the boys napped. She was a huge help, we are very thankful for her!
One of my favorite items to receive, was Elizabeth's old glider. It feels so good to rock in it again with the boys. Thank you Elizabeth!
And Caleb was happy to see his rocker too. This was Nathan's when he was a little boy. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma P!
Nathan and I stayed up late looking at pictures to hang on the wall. The pictures are my favorite things we opened. We enjoyed reminiscing about the memories we made at each place we traveled or the milestones we experienced together.
The boys enjoyed their 'new' playroom today. Nathan did a great job organizing the space, amongst many other places in the house - thanks dad!

I'm so glad the glider made the move! Enjoy. What a fun day to open up and see all of your "things" again.
WOW - Christmas in August. So happy your "stuff" arrived - The boys will have many happy days (weeks) getting reacquainted with their "new" toy. Hugs and kisses to all - We love you.
Love,
Mom & Dad R
A few familiar "things" to make it Home Sweet Home. Thanks for the Skype this morning. Can't believe how Caleb and Ben have changed over the past few months. Love.
Getting HHE is so wonderful! I know it's just stuff, but it's your personal stuff and it makes your house feel like a home. My girls are giddy for all their toys too. Everything feels brand new again! So glad you're feeling more settled.
So thrilled for all your things to have arrived safely! The picture of Ben 'in awe' is so funny! Hope the boys are enjoying their things!
