Mayflower truck has exploded

Hey y'all,

The photo upload has been agonizingly slow and typically errors out after waiting patiently. But it seems to be working ok today with an extra dose of patience and one photo at a time. The big shipment showed up on Saturday. Great news considering we are sticking around the city during Chinese New Year. We have a few things going on but mostly will be chilling. So, not really a better time to bring in like 4,000 boxes of stuff and sort it out. Definitely has been a work in progress. Here are some pics from the delivery day. We'll get some 'finished product' pics up soon....and of course, I will still deliver on the lunch photos. Read on....

We numbered all the rooms in the house and then played commander and chief at the port of entry. Here's Aimee providing direction. There were 8 or 9 guys which made things go pretty quick. The kids really enjoyed seeing toys that hadn't seen since mid-November. Plus, with Mom and Dad distracted with the task at hand, it meant "do whatever you want" time.
The workers helped to unpack the majority of boxes. Which helped us purge most of the cardboard and packing paper but meant we had some major re-shuffling to do. Here's the kitchen. But it's received an extreme makeover from Miss Aimee since. Quite impressive I must say.
And then there was Rachel, enjoying a sweet reunion with old toys. We are doing pretty well. Aimee has been baking bread with the arrival of her 'toys'. Happy New Year!!!!
