Still kickin'...if only barely

Monday and Tuesday the movers came (we ignored Demetri's birthday and decided to celebrate it in Kamiah); Wednesday was spent cleaning and finishing vacating the house.  Today has been graduation, paperwork, online trainings, more paperwork, hotel and naps for kids, running back and forth from hotel to post, and finally, ice cream (the kids were so patient today!).  Tomorrow depends on what the people in the various offices say- there's one paper in particular that needs to be signed before we can do anything else.
Busy week.  I'm just glad to be out of the house and hoping we can get out of here soon.  California was fun, but I'm ready to be done. I thought everything was done and we could just leave after graduation.  I should know by now and be able to anticipate the extra red tape!  (I just get optimistic when he actually has leave papers in his hand.)
Enjoying my baby- though still not comfortable enough with four children to go anywhere with them alone.  Shawn's frustrated.  Oh well, at least I was willing to have the four children; I don't know about more.  I'm savoring the newborn stage that I've missed so much.  Xander has three excited big brothers.  They love him, hold him, sing to him, play with him, and talk to him in funny voices.
