So on Friday, July 25, exactly one month after we left the USA, our container arrived and we moved into the castle! The crane showed up, boxes were brought in and uh oh... I guess we didn't think about a few measurements. Our bed didn't make it in our guest room and our bedroom dresser is in our garage, but all in all it went well. Only a few damaged items, but nothing that can't be fixed.
Over the weekend we built furniture and began to unpack 310 boxes! Who knew we had so much stuff! It is one week later and we still have loads to unpack. Our place is beginning to look like home. Landon's bedroom is the most complete and Alianna has the best room in the house. I do like our kitchen even though we don't have much storage space. The hardest part of the house is the stairs. It takes about 52 stairs to reach our bedroom from the front door. It is 10 stairs to the front door, 14 stairs to the living room, 14 stairs to the kid's room and another 14 to our room! But we have a great view!
So it is late and I am off to climb the stairs to my bed. I am going to try to load a short video. Larry just finished hooking up the new TV. We don't have a connection to satellite yet, but now we can watch DVD's. Yeah! Alianna got a German Hanna Montana video. She'll be excited to see it!

that is a great video! :) I'm glad you are finally moved in and getting your life back together! My summer is going well... classes are starting up again far too soon!
What an opportunity! I remember a Dutch (Canadian) neighbor's bed coming in through the upstairs window!! When you visit Amsterdam, look up at the pulleys at the top of the house... and the wider center window... Enjoy every adventure!
