Settling in.


That's right. We made the final stretch of the move and are settling in to the new place. I was quite anxious over the flights, but the girls did fabulous! P baby nursed and slept and big sis was content to read stories and watch Winnie the Pooh. I thankfully had my mom with me... And the extra hands were so helpful.

We got answered prayers that all our belonging arrived as planned and the movers had everything unloaded from the moving containers by the time I arrived. My sweet husband rocked it by getting the beds put together and stocking up the kitchen. 

The last few days have been full and productive. Were down to the last few boxes and starting to explore the neighborhood. Last night we took a break from organizing to take Millie trick-or-treating. To our surprise, she loved seeing all the costumes! We also learned that our neighborhood is quite the place to be on Halloween. It brought back so many childhood memories. Hundreds on people out on the streets, fully decorated houses and tons of candy to go around.

It still hasn't fully sunk in that we live in DC. The weather has been great, making it so far an easy transition from sunny Southern California. I'm of course missing my close friends and praying over meeting new ones here and getting connected with a community of faith. 

Here's a few snapshots from the last few days!
