Furniture!

Finally, our furniture arrived on Saturday.  Needless to say, we’re very excited to have all our stuff.  There was one casualty, though.  The stand for LBJ’s mirror, from her grandmother (from her grandmother – it’s old), was damaged.  However, we believe that the stand can be fixed (using the insurance money). 

Otherwise, the move went pretty smoothly.  The grandparents kindly watched the grandkids for quite some time.  In practice, grandma watched the kids for much of the day alone.  Grandad went sailing (despite the lousy weather).  And LBJ’s brother, who was in town visiting, went off to town for much of the day.  So grandma deserves a gold star.  The kids seemed to have a good time.

They were very excited to wake up on Sunday morning with all their toys.  But the fascination was short lived.  By Tuesday, FABJ claimed that she would be SO bored if she wasn’t allowed to watch a DVD before dinner.  She must have cried for 10 minutes (I was busy cooking dinner and ignored the melodrama).

We exhausted ourselves unpacking (particularly LBJ, who unpacked nearly all the kitchen herself), but the place looks quite good.  LBJ did an excellent job of arranging our stuff.  Just need to figure out where to put all the stuff on the walls.

Next up is to sort out the tennis situation.  More on that soon…
