We Made it!!

Well, after a very long and traumatic trip (2 popped tires at different times)we finally have made it to the U.P.-Houghton, MI. We are renting a house here and it is amazing how good it feels. I just realized that we have not really ever lived by ourselves! First, student housing, 2nd another apartment,3rd a condo, 4th a house with 3 sets of renters on the property (1 was downstairs), 5th with my parents in their house and now, FINALLY, in a rental house all by our lonesome! I wonder what my preference will be after the winter up here?? :) Anyway, the space and quiet (except traffic and kids of course) is great.
Eric is in Colorado this week, but somehow I managed to get all the furniture we will probably need, all by myself (I mean with the kids "help").
Here are a few pics from our trip (including the big tow truck that took our van the last 30 miles of our trip) and views of and from our home.
More to update soon.
