Finally Arrived

Finally, after 17 weeks (instead of the promised 4-6 weeks!!) our shipping boxes arrived. Well, at least most of them! We loaded the truck in St Louis with 28 boxes, but this truck arrived with only 27. The box that is missing doesn't contain much of monetary value, but it's sentimental value is priceless, as it contains photos. They have promised to look for it at the warehouse, hopefully it will arrive - sometime!

The children were so pleased to see their boxes arrive. Daniel and Nicholas even constructed their own pallets for the boxes to sit on while they opened them. The excitement level equated to that of a Christmas morning.

It was such a joy to watch them dig in and discover their things that they had not seen in 4 months. I often heard comments like "Mom, do you remember this?", or "Wow! I forgot I had this".

We were also grateful for Gary's tools and the children's school books arriving safely. Now Gary can accomplish his work a little easier and the kids and I have some education to catch up on this Summer.
