From across the ocean!



I'm happy to say our crate has arrived!

(It actually arrived on Wednesday, but I wanted to share pictures, so I waited to post)

Tanner and I were so excited to see it come, and Tanner's excitement has increased daily as his toys have been slowly reappearing! It's all just stuff, but it's amazing what a feeling of home it brings.
I've been going through the process of looking through each box for damaged items. We're not unpacking everything, because we have to move again in a few weeks. But, since we're all tired of living out of suitcases for the last 3 months, I'm bringing out some comforts!
The favorites so far -
Tanner - his toys and books for sure (I must say I was getting rather tired of the same 4 books, but that said, he's made me read the "Piper" book 6 times already today!
Me - my cookbooks!!!! Followed my wonderfully comfortable bed! Don't worry, it does have a sheet and blankets on it now!
We're so thankful to see a glimpse of the items that made our house a "home." And even move excited that John comes home tomorrow! But for tonight, I'm curling up with the laptop to watch an impossibly girly DVD from the crate!

  3. Love that pic of all those boxes...been there, done that too many times. Is the address you gave us your temporary address or is it a permanent one? Aunt Mary

  4. Oh Shannon, I rejoice with you for finally having some of the comforts of home. I know you must be terribly thrilled to have John back home as well. I hope the next move will go smoothly. I know you will be elated to be in your own place, able to make it reflect your style and comforts. Love you friend!
