Week One

We are here. 

The children slept for almost the entire trip, making it easier for me to drive without a co-pilot...or five. 

We met Matt at the hotel and Joseph, in his very Joseph way, said "welcome home!"

They wasted no time getting our things unpacked to reclaim the cart in the grand tradition of pushing eachother around in vacation. 

My kitchen is truly complete. Fully furnished...and even has a dishwasher!!!!!

This is our meal schedule. Breakfast is included in our stay, seven days a week. Dinner is included on three nights a week, with a special Customer Appreciation Dinner every Monday. So.... Four nights a week with no cooking!!!!

The laundry facilities are two rooms down from our suite and are complimentary. I just have to bring my own detergent. 

Esther has been most patient with our transition. She is cutting three teeth at the moment and trying to walk...so I am going to cut her really-ultra-bad sleeping habits at the hotel some slack. 

These guys have been sleeping really well!!!!

Hotels are notorious for having more pillows than we have heads to lay upon them. The children were not disappointed here. They spent the first morning making pillow forts/nests. 

Nathan has been really wonderful here and is doing a great job potty training! He will be the first of the three birthdays we will celebrate in temporary living. 

Thomas christened temp living by jumping off the couch, jedi style, head-first, into the wall. This child has more bruises and bumps and cuts...

We have a pool. Now I need sixteen hands and four hundred flotation devices. 

Busy Days

The children have been so patient with all the upheaval over the past month. Tomorrow we begin our newest adventure in temporary living so we can be closer to Matt. I will try to document as much as I can because I know how quickly this time will go by. Trying to enjoy each moment.
