We're Still There! Well, Here. Well.

I really did say STAY TUNED, didn't I. Well, I'm eating my words. But we're still there, although of course there is now here and no longer there!
Of course, given this virtualy return from the dead, seeing is believing. So here goes, very briefly:

WE PACKED


LOTS of boxes! Snowstorm. Desaster.


THEN WE UNPACKED. Partially. Women and children first.


And miraculously, we lived to tell the tale. Including: The kindness of strangers and new neighbours who fed us meals, and old friends whom we still have not thanked for Christmas presents due to lack of time and good manners. It's awful, really.


We have achieved a fair bit, though (cooking and letter writing not being among those achievements). Seeing is believing:

Kitchen - then & now

Tara's room, before and after (being before she made an unsightly mess of it)

We are out of one and in the other, some stuff is still in boxes, other stuff out, but more of it in cause there are still not enough boxes to stick it all up in. In the midst of it all, I have put my back out, and - wait, it's really high time I stuck the kids into their beds.

So, here we are. Back from the digitally dead, one hopes. Somewhat invisible still, putting it slowly all back together.

Ne! Is es denn wahr???
Seeing is believing, right?
Still rubbing my eyes...

I'm rubbing, too. ALMOST gave up on you there for a minute, wait, a month or two ... But here you are. Merry Christmas, happy birthday, and happy new house. Sending imaginary bread loaves and salt for good luck. Looking good, too. Love your new kitchen. :-)
