Getting settled

We arrived in Charlestown on Thursday evening. We were very tired, and glad to not be professional truck drivers. After Karen and Kayla had the tour of our place, Lori and Jadon came over. Mom and dad followed shortly behind. It was very nice to be off the road. It was a bit sobering though to "arrive home" and not have Katherine here.

We have spent the last two days unloading and unpacking. It is both fun and hard work. We still have boxes everywhere, but we have a place to sleep and sit. Kayla has done a good job of settling her room. Perhaps I will post some pictures after all everything is done.

The dogs seem to be adjusting. They travelled fine, but have been a bit nervous. Missi seems convinced that the new place is out to get her though. She has been bonked on the head and almost stepped on a few times as we were negotiating boxes. She also discovered screen doors. We have one on our back door and she was not familiar with the concept. She got a sudden strong desire to go inside and bashed her head through the screen full force. Being a relatively small dog, she did not get all the way through but bounced back on to the steps after breaking the screen. She and Bugsy do like the yard though. It is their first experience of being able to go outside of our home without a leash and play in the grass.

Today we will be doing some more unpacking, but not too much. I head back to work on Tuesday.

Happy Father's Day everybody.
