Oklahoma!

First of all I just want to say thank you to Eric's parents and all his brothers and his uncle who helped us pack up and drive to Oklahoma. Then when we got here they unpacked everything we packed. They were a huge help. Thank you, thank you. A huge thank you to Carolee for coming up and helping me clean and pack the Richmond house and to Jackie and Keith too, for helping clean and load, Thank you, thank you. Thank you to my parents as well who meet us here and helped unpack. We are truly blessed to have such a great family that that are so willing to help out where ever they can.

We arrived in Oklahoma on Friday the 15th of January and have now been here a week. What a week it has been. Eric started his new job and absolutely loves it. He couldn't have written a better job description if he had to. It is like Christmas! He gets home everyday at 3:30 - 4:00 and doesn't know what to do with himself (and neither do I). The girls started their new school and are adjusting pretty well. Kassie and Allie go to the Elementary and Emma goes by herself to the middle school. I was a little worried about Emma but she seems to really like it and is getting right into the swing of things. Allie, on the other hand, misses her friends and her "school back home". The last couple of days have been a lot better than the first half of the week. I think Allie's real issue is that they are a lot more strict here and she just isn't used to it. (In the long run it is probably exactly what Allie needs)! Kassie just loves it all. Lillie loves not having anything to do all day. She asks everyday what is on the agenda and if we have to pack or go to the store. When I tell her we don't have to go anywhere or pack anything, she is the happiest person on earth. She always wants to stay home and "babysit myself" when it is time to go get the girls from school. She is a home body and loves to just stay home.

Here are a few pictures of the house we are renting, (and miss Vana White), for those of you who have been asking!!
