Moving Day!!!

I thought we should get a quick picture before the insanity of unloading the truck began. :)

Mom and I distracted the kids while Jon and Dad unloaded. They were helped by a wonderful woman named Marie who is Jon's new department's secretary and her two grown children. With their help the truck was emptied faster than I ever thought possible. It was quite something.

Unfortunately my previous 'guess' that Omaha has similar weather to Montreal was a little off base! It's HOT!!! And the week we moved in was insanely so. Although, according to neighbours this has been a uniquely cool summer. My response is always... WHAT!!!??? From what I hear, normal summer temperatures stay above 40 Deg. and the humidity is enough to give Montreal a run for its money. Sigh. Well, thank God for air conditioning!!! :D

By now the days are still quite hot, but the evenings and mornings are cooler, which is awesome. It still amazes me how blue the sky always is. We've had about two days with rain and other than that it's been sunny, sunny, sunny. But when it rains... OH BOY! Does it ever rain. Our street is a hill and when it rains, it looks like a river in front of our house. It pours and there's thunder and lightning. It's quite something to watch... which we happily do from inside our dry porch.
