Air Shipment Received!

We received our air shipment last Thursday. YAY!

Turns out 500 lbs easily fits inside that one big box

We had a 500 lb allowance and sadly baby stuff took up 60% of it. I was terrified the baby would get here before our big shipment, and I was not about to start life in a foreign country with a new baby and not have the baby stuff. Lucy's stuff was probably another 25%, Travis had about 10%, and I got the remainder which included 4 laundry baskets, our kitchen trash can, and the hot pot. I think I only got the laundry baskets because they used them to pack other stuff in. I'm still not really sure how all that added up to 500 lbs, because I can really only account for about 350, but no one asked me.

Does this look like 500 lbs of stuff to you?

What I'm most excited about--The Kitchen Trash Can!

What I'm second most excited about--The Diaper Genie!

What Lucy is most excited about--Her new Elmo Potty. I wouldn't let her take it out of the box before we moved out of Houston.

What Travis is most excited about--Our mattress topper. The mattresses here are insanely hard. We've been making due by layering the 5 comforters we found around the house. Not sure why there were so many, but we're glad they were there! Mom and dad--if you're in luck, the sea shipment with our tempurpedic for the guest bed will be here before you will. If not, we know how to layer comforters :)

One thing I learned was that packing tape leaves a really disgusting residue after sitting in 110 degree heat for several weeks.

Lucy has enjoyed having some of her old toys back. Specifically the blocks. Here's a couple more pictures of Lucy making sure our stuff is still in working order:

All the knobs still work, mom!

We're still looking forward to getting the rest of our shipment, this was a bit of a tease! But it is really nice to have a few things to make this feel more like home.
