We made it!

Happy 4th of July from our Nation's Capital! Tonight will be our 5th night in VA and everything is so far, so good. The kids did great on the plane, the night in the hotel went well, the closing went smoothly and we are in our house. We're all sleeping on air mattresses and Will in his pack'n'play and we bought a card table & a few folding chairs from Target to eat at until our furniture arrives. I actually think that Aubrey & Will are enjoying the empty house b/c there is so much room to run around and play. We packed a big rubbermaid container with toys, so they are keeping themselves entertained. Also, we went to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum yesterday and the kids had fun looking at all the air planes, space shuttles and Aubrey even rode on a 3D space simulation ride. All the museums are free for VA & MD residents, so we're going to try to hit them all. We also had 2 different neighbors come and introduce themselves to us in the past few days and they both invited us to 2 different parties this weekend. So, we already went to a neighbor's 2nd birthday this morning and Aubrey & Will got to meet lots of new friends. Tomorrow, we're supposed to go to a July 4th/ fireworks party with over 100 neighbors attending. Our street is crawling with kids 6 years and under, so it should be a good spot for our fam for the next couple years. We're enjoying the noticeably cooler weather and the tall trees and having fun exploring our new surroundings. But, we do of course miss you all and Aubrey has mentioned a couple times that she wants to go back to our old house in Texas. I'm sure it'll take time for all of us for it to really feel like home here.
