Not long after everyone that came to help us unpack left, half the power in our home went out! The kitchen side wasn't a huge deal, since we didn't have anything in the fridge yet. But the AC! Seriously! Rotten first night in our home! After driving all day, this was not how I imagined sleeping.
But the next day there was still a TON to do. Christian got going on the crazy overgrown lawn! What a job!
Beckam didn't want to miss a bit of it!
I think the little geckos and lizards are way cute and cool.
Yeah, that took him a while. Maybe we should have just gotten a goat! :)
The cockroaches were AWFUL!!! Especially in the garage. So Brian and Christian did a fog bomb after the next night. And in the morning there were TONZ of dead ones all over the garage floor. This one was an average size one and a baby one. We've seem them bigger and smaller too.
Wow! That looks so much better!
On our way to the airport we drove around Rice's campus to show Christian's parents where he will be living for the next 5ish years! Then we headed off to the airport. On our way we ran out of gas! Luckily we were right by an off ramp on the freeway. Coasted down the hill, and into a parking lot. Christian ran inside and told the store clerk we'd run out of gas. The clerk, who spoke hardly any English said "gas can?" Immediately Christian was running down the street with the can. Right away someone else honked and pulled over and drove him a mile down the street to the gas station. (He too was on his way to the airport!) He not only took Christian to the gas station but brought him back to us too! What could have been a disaster with getting his parents to the airport late, turned out to be alright! We sure are watched over by little miracles all the time!
It was sad to say goodbye! They sure made this move easier! From taking Jaden and Kyler to play for a few weeks so that Mommy could pack, to helping us pack, driving here with us, and unpacking!!! WOW! We love you guys!
Thanks Oma for the pool! The boys are loving it here!
There is a definite rush hour here too!
We quickly got a lot of the essentials out, but moving takes time! Here are some pics of the home, with lots of boxes to still unpack!
Formal Living/ Dining?! I think not! Toy room baby!
I'll put more pics up once it all looks more "homey!"
