Guess who came over and set up River's room on move-in day? Yep, Holly, Amelia and Josie. Guess who broke out with chicken pox the day after that? River. The doctor asked when I first noticed a spot and I pondered, hmmm, was it on the road in California? This hotel or that one? At the beach? Can't say.

We can't go anywhere public for six days. No wifi yet, just loitering in parking lots here and there to catch a signal while the spotted one naps. Feeling more comfortable in my car than the new house anyway.

Thanks for all of your well-wishes and blessings. We made it.

Swimming in boxes, but we'll break out the wine early tonight so we can spend the later hours explaining more about why the sky pops and booms. Scary.
