Our new house

 Our new house is finally ready for us.
We arrived at the house around 8 in the morning.  We had two deliveries scheduled for Friday and the first was supposed to be there around 9.  A landscaping company arrived at the same time to repair some loose blocks on the terrace walls.  The owner also showed up to repair a screen door and an electrical switch. 

 This was the only house that we actually went in before renting.  It suited our needs just right.  Each kid has his own room and we have a guest room that I can scrapbook in.  We also wanted a big deck to enjoy the outside air.  We got everything we wanted in this house. 
Our first delivery arrived 2 hours late.  It was all of our stuff from the States.  Our new driveway is fairly steep and the only stopping place at the top is the garage.  The poor guys had to haul it way up the driveway and then way up the stairs to the first floor.  They were tired after the second trip.  The boys were so very excited to see their other toys.  They've been playing with the very few things that we have since May 20th when I set them aside for the shipment.  That's almost two whole months!   It was like Christmas!  So much excitement from the kids when I would untape a box labeled "toys."
Our second delivery was to arrive between 11-2.  It showed up around 1 and it was our appliances.  The delivery man had a broken arm and a 10 year old boy for a helper.  As he was bringing the washer in, he said he wasn't sure if he could get the refridgerator up the steps.  He brought the dryer in and then said "one more"...then he drove away!  He left the fridge in the garage!  I understand that he couldn't get it up because of the broken arm.  I'm not even upset that he put in the garage, but at least he could have told me he was leaving it there! 
We have our furniture delivery this morning.  We have to return the rental car today and we need to move all of our stuff out of the hotel.  We have to check out tomorrow morning. 
Lots to do, but it shouldn't be any problem.
