The move and settleing into CDA

Our move went smoothly. 

We drove to Montana one day and the rest of the way to Coeur d'Alene the next~

Along the way we passed a sign exclaiming 'Welcome to Idaho' I announced to the kids to look out the window at their new home~ we had made it! 

Miley looked out the window and excitedly declared.. "It is BEAUTIFUL!" 

As we descended from the canyon to look over lake Coeur d'Alene my heart filled, This was our new home, and it felt so good to be here! 

The kids did well considering the long hours in the car. 

As soon as we arrived, we headed for the water giving the kids a chance to release their energy and enjoy their new surroundings. 

We had the loving help of our father. The next two days were spent making arrangements to get into our home, unloading, unpacking and getting started. 

I grossly underestimated what it would take to make this whole move come together, but we did it! 

Although it is still an ongoing process, we are overjoyed to have this roof over our heads, and a beautiful place to call home. 

We were so glad to have Scott's company throughout our journey. Not only was he extremely helpful, but also such enjoyable company. We stayed up late most nights talking and listening to stories. It was just so nice to have him there. They kids loved being near Grandpa. He brings a special light. We love him. Sad to see him head home, but grateful to not be too far away!
