We are Texans now!

So, we have been in our house for almost 2 weeks now. We are NOT settled yet. Hopefully, in a couple of more weeks I will have the boxes unloaded. it doesn't go very quickly with 3 kids! We have already had our first visitors...Nana and Pop...passing through to and from San Antonio. It was great to have them here. Campbell and Cooper have started school. Campbell is in Pre-K and goes part time 3 days a week. Cooper is going to school for the first time. He goes one day a week. I don't think he stopped smiling when I picked him up from his first day. They take a nap in his class. When I got to his room, his teachers shared with me what he thought about during nap time. The teacher said that during the first few weeks, they rub the kids' backs to help them go to sleep. Well, she was rubbing Cooper's back and he looked at her and said, "What are you doing?" She said, "helping you fall asleep". Cooper responded with, "I'm okay." And he went to sleep, no problem. The move does not seem to have phased him too much. Although last night, I was putting him down and he asked when we were going home (i guess he meant in indy) and I explained that this was our home now. He wanted to know what happened to our other house...so sweet. Campbell has been okay. I think she is the most bothered by the move. She talks about Indy a lot. She really likes school though and has made some new friends. She starts soccer this week too, so that will be good for her. We went to church on Sunday and she went to her class. She loved it! So, I know she really misses playing with her friends. Collier has been exploring our new house on all fours but I think she will be walking soon.
The weather has really not been too hot either. The first week was rough but it has cooled off a little. We have been playing out in the back yard. We went to the pool this last weekend. It is the coolest pool ever. It has a tanning ledge, a splash park inside the pool fence, and 2 water slides(not slides that go in the pool, i mean water slides). We had so much fun! I am slowly learning my way around or at least to the places that I need to go to like the grocery store, target, etc.
Jeff is really liking his job. I think he enjoys being out of the office.
Texas definitely does not feel like home yet but I am sure it will in the future. As soon as I get the house in order, I will post some pics.
