We've arrived!

We drove into Phoenix early Tuesday morning, (2 days ahead of schedule!!), and its felt like vacation ever since! We've slowly been unpacking and getting the house in order, in between doing more important things- well the most important thing in Phoenix when the temperature is above 100 degrees....SWIMMING!!

The girls are turning into fish already, especially Parker! The first day we were here she was very afraid of the water, by the third day she was swimming better than ever. She's excellent at swimming underwater and is mastering her little doggy paddle. Elin is all over the pool with her puddle jumpers on, she doesn't have much fear. Eilash on the other hand....has SO much fear. She can always be found on the step of the pool in the shallow end, she is terrified of the deep, even in floaties. Hadleigh isn't a big fan of water. She'll go in the pool for a couple minutes but then she's done, she toddles around the side but never gets too close. 






Right behind our house is a beautiful little lake with our own dock...complete with a canoe and kayaks. 




Brittany and Isaac were with us until yesterday, they left Phoenix to go to San Diego for a few days. They helped so much with our move, I don't know what we would have done without them! 


Malissa (our Ohio neighbor) drive down with us and will be here for a few more weeks. Her mom will fly down early August for a week then they will fly back to Ohio together. 



Darrell and Alice are staying with us until Thursday, they also have been so incredibly helpful! It's nice to have people around so we can run errands, organize the house and have an extra hand with the kids. 
I don't have any pictures of them...yet :) 


There lots more to catch up on and lots more pictures to post, but that's it for now!
