Hallelujah!

We have finally gotten word that our belongings will be arriving in two days!  It has been three weeks since everything was picked up from our house in Lubbock.  I cant even remember what my couch looked like!  We will be so glad to FINALLY get settled.  We have tried to keep the boys busy with shopping trips, going to parks and fishing.  Peter bought a fishing pole and has taken them out to the little pond down the street from our house.  They actually have caught a few good size fish.  

We had an a great 4th of July (well for the most part).  We woke up to cloudy skies and a little rain, but decided to drive to downtown Brownsburg for the annual parade.  It did stop raining before everything started, but was still about 55 degrees.  Us still living out of suitcases ( yes, now have made two trips to the laundry mat) we were not exactly prepared for cold weather in the middle of the summer.  Peter bought a folding chair for me to sit on and the boys had a great time gathering candy.....even when the rain came POURING down again.  Most of the locals had brought their handy-dandy umbrellas from home.....again not something I chose to not pack in the moving truck and bring along.  We struggled to gather our stuff and our kids, but none the less were completely soaked and freezing before we got into the truck.  By later that afternoon the weather had improved, but still a little cool.  We went out for the local carnival that followed the parade.  The food was very yummy and the boys got to ride several rides.  Koen wanted to ride all the big rides, most of which he was too small for.  He did get to ride the giant swings that go really high and fast.....made me wonder just how much I trusted the "carnies" as I watched my child be sling-shoted around and around.....
