No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth....
It was beautiful...but I think my fingernails are all still attached to my steering wheel
Carsick Dog
Cocoa, the one on the right...uggggh...despite drugs from the Vet....hotel, hotel, hotel

Arrive in DC!!
Chinatown
On the Mall....
Smithsonian (Natural History)
It really was kind of like "Night at the Museum"and then on Saturday
our sewer lines backed up and exploded all over the front yard
ICK!
So...We didn't want to have to move out again...yeah, we're crazy...we were able to get another room on base on Sunday and went back and forth to use the bathroom/ shower etc...
Don't even ask what we did until Sunday...
LOL
unpacking all weekend
and then Tuesday...(please refer to the title of this post)
AND NOW
We have running water and toilets that flush...amazing how you tend to take that for granted!!
I love those guys!!
Today was our first day of homeschooling...we're having some growing pains...which is to be expected...but I have faith it's going to work....and I have met some of the nicest people here!!
We did get to watch Air Force One land last week and wave to President Obama, but it was dusk and you're not allowed to use flash photography
and finally..
I made a card
Supplies: Stamps Unity Stamp Company, Paper K&Co

And with all youn had going on you managed to find time to make a card! I'm impressed. Lovely card.
I'm glad to hear you are settling in to some sense of normalcy. Hopefully you don't have anymore "surprises". I've missed your blogging!!
You need to give Dianna a kick in the butt because she's slacking big time.
Girl! How do you do it...AND still have a rocking creative muse?!?! You are my idol!!! I am so happy to hear that you have running water again. Now relax in a hot bubble bath!!! smiles...
I love DC. So jealous.
Sometimes.
I got your email about your troubles. Sorry I didn't get back to you. The preschoolers and teenagers were killing me and now I'm snowed in with sick kids and getting around to all that computer stuff.
Although, I still somehow managed to do a LO a day for LOAD:). Love that challenge!
wow! what a crazy adventure for you :) glad everything is falling into place now. love the card! those lamps are just so fun to work with.
what an eventful time. Glad you managed to "holiday" a bit on your travels, and that you now have water again
Sounds like you have had quite the adventure. Yikes. Glad to see that everyone made it through okay AND that it is over. LOL.
Good luck with the homeschooling thing. I give you a lot of credit for even trying. I KNOW I couldn't do it.
Good to 'see' you Amy! I do admire those who home school - I just couldn't do it justice I don't think. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures in Washington. x
What an adventure! And what stories you will all have to tell!
Love the card, it was probably much needed therapy after all that 'adventure'.
So glad you are getting settled and everything is starting to smooth out for you. Oh goodness, as you may recall we just went through the same sewer/septic tank issues.....I FEEL your pain, girl! lol Glad they got it fixed quickly for you.
Your card is beautiful! Have missed seeing your creations.

poor pups barfing in the car. we have a opossum that moved either under the deck or the sun room for the winter . he comes out to look in the back door window which gets Maisy yipping and poor blind scooter barks ... he barks out side but I'm sure if the possum stands still he wont see it. neither has seen the dog at your place yet. I saw it once. I haven't met them yet ... I will when the weather warms up a bit. the photos are great tell your men I said hi... pat.
I would say you have had one crazy adventure with the move, just think of it as interesting scrapbooking material. No ad-libbing needed. LOL
Hope your getting settled in and things are a bit less crazy for you and the family.
Welcome to the DC area! I'm sorry getting settled in was so eventful. I'm also amazed you found time in all of this to be crafty - good for you! Now you'll have to take a drive up north (at least halfway) and meet up with some of your blogging kin that are around here. We'd love to get together with you.
That card is so pretty! I am sorry you had raw sewage explode in your front yard on your second day in your new house! Unbelievable! I hope you get settled soon!
Thanks for the photos! Kinda puts life into perspective!
Hugs to you, Miss Amy!
Wow! You did have quite the experience! Now it's all over and you get to enjoy your new home! There's SO much to do down there I hope you get to enjoy it all! I'm so jealous and would love to move back!
