From KF to DC

We had such a wonderful time in Kettle Falls reconnecting with family and friends! It's fun to start a new chapter in our lives, coming back to DC to reconnect with more family and friends before we head out into the Pacific! Here are a few random photos from the past few weeks:

 I'm so fancy!

 You can't even tell that this we ever put up a palm tree sticker here!

Moving Day

Today (and yesterday, and the day before) we packed up our whole house in preparation for our big trip back to the USA and onward move the the Marshall Islands.

 The parading continues at full volume, in spite of baby naps!

Happy times!

It Came! It Came!!

Today was a great and magical day.  Our household effects have finally arrived.  !!  Almost exactly a year to the day from our emergency pack out of Mexico City, our stuff is once again in our presence.  It is a great thing.  To all those who would scoff and say, "I don't need my stuff!  People are way too materialistic!," followed by an eye roll, I challenge you to try it for a year.  :)

Glorious boxes...

I spy with my little eye two things that were made in Mexico (hint: one of them is a pot!).  :)

Moving Day!

 

I heart government movers!
