Whew! What a Week.

1. We made the drive from D.C. to Utah in 3 days. I can't say it was always enjoyable. In fact at times it felt like an episode of Double Dare with all the bending, climbing, feeding, sticky messes, reaching across the car, making sandwiches in less than a minute to avoid screams; not to mention the time when Sabrina slimed herself, me, and the car seat (car sickness). Although I kid, I have to say that every now and again, it was downright pleasant. I read out loud to Paul and did not worry about cleaning, laundry, or Lucy getting into anything she shouldn't. Yes, there is something nice about sitting, doing nothing, and strapping the kids down for 12 hours a day.

2. We moved into our place. This would not have been possible without the brute strength and kindness of our family and friends. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And yes, the third bedroom is changing my life.

3. The Sampson Family Reunion was a hit. We really enjoy when we get the opportunity to see everyone, eat great food, chat into the wee morning hours, make fools of ourselves in the talent show, and just enjoy each other. We missed Shannon and Brittan this year. Get well soon, Britty! Can't wait for 2011!

Pictures to come soon. I first need to find our camera amid boxes.
