We're Here!!!!

We've finally arrived in New Hampshire and are in the process of getting settled in.

It's been a long and sometimes arduous journey - first from Switzerland to the U.S. and then across the U.S. from Idaho Falls to Hanover via South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, then up through Pennsylvania, New York, Toronto, Montreal, Vermont and Maine . . . that was with our 2 year old, 6 month old, dog and U-haul trailer!

But God is good! It was a great experience and while I do not feel the need to sleep in a hotel or eat an Applebees any time soon - we made it without incident.
Now we're living in Sachem Village, an apartment complex about 1.5 miles from Dartmouth and filled with families and young children.

Today (aside from unpacking, cleaning, dealing with Comcast, calling Switzerland, setting up Dr.'s appts. etc.) we colored with chalk on the sidewalk and Eli practiced sitting!

The rest of the pics are from along the way and include . . .

a sleeping baby (Eli was great in the car and slept most of the time)

shucking corn with Great Grandma in South Dakota - and I have to say the most amazing corn of the summer.

Eli met his great grandpa Mueller for the first time - four generations of Mueller men. Eli has some big shoes to fill!

Some girl cousin snuggle time watching morning cartoons.

Birthday party for Sarah and Leesy (as she now calls herself)

Well, now that we're back on the grid I hope to keep more pictures posted. We are really enjoying the area so far and I'm starting to feel a little more settled. Ironic that Daniel started classes today - on Labor Day. This program will definitely be challenging but we're excited to be here and start this New Hampshire experience!
