We had to get one "arriving in CT" pic before we piled into the car to get to G'ma Marcia's to eat and sleep.
E and C on our borrowed couch in our borrowed house. We have a sheet draped over it for protection from spit up. It's a nice couch.
Kjirsti and Owan hanging out on the couch. (Notice he has a barrier under him too) Owan likes drinking from straws so he had his milk in an old Dunkin' Donuts cup. Which is a whole other story for another time. :)We are here! Finally we are feeling a little more settled in. Ryan's mom and aunt and the kids and I flew last Thurs. which was...um...interesting. That is all I'm going to say about that. Ryan and Bill drove in on Friday evening. Also we found out on Thurs that our moving truck had broken down. This was a little disconcerting but they said instead of Friday they would be here Monday. I think this was an act of God because I was not up to the task of dealing with a storage unit and movers on Friday. Whew!!! Sat. Ryan and I were able to get lots of personal business taken care of so we were ready for Monday. Sunday was quiet because of labor day and Monday we were able to move in to the house we are staying in for a few months...but still no truck. Once again...an act of God...funny how he knows what is best for us. :) Both Ryan and I agreed after getting situated in this house we did not want to deal with movers and sorting our storage "stuff." So...Tuesday the truck came!! As far as we can tell everything is there and only one thing was broken which we didn't care too much about. Yea!!
Big huge thanks to Marcia and Aunt Lois for spur-of-the-moment babysitting so we could get things moved to the house from storage. Thanks also to Bill for making trips with his pick-up and Kari for feeding babies.
As of today we are finally all feeling at least 90% healthy. Last night Clara had a fever and the night before Elsie did and I think we are finally done with this bug.
Just a couple pics for you: at the top where I didn't feel like moving them from.

I am so glad you made it alright and that the truck made it exactly when God knew you were ready.
I love the picture of the the girls on the couch. I hope you get settled in soon.
Wow, Kjirsti! I've been praying for you! I can't wait to talk with you and hear the whole story! I'll keep praying everyone feels better each day and that you can get by without drowning in boxes!
I'm glad that you made it to CT safely and can I say that you are very brave to fly with all three kids (even with help) hope that you are having a good time settling into life in CT....enjoy the Fall....it should be REALLY Really pretty! Also if you have a chance try to go to the BIG E....it's not the MN state fair but it's still fun. Hope that you guys are doing well!
