I am posting this from our new place.
This place may be permanent, or as someone put it, as permanent as we ever get. Or we may be here just a few months. Either way, we’re out of the basement and unpacking those darn cases, and we are very happy about it.
I’m off to catch up with google reader and IM with my sister-in-law and perhaps, just maybe, leave comments on other blogs. I have managed to read some offline and have several times wanted to leave comments, so now I have plans to go back and write them. What kind of odds would you give that of actually happening? Yeah. Of course my google reader is at 219 and that might take some time.
Card update: much progress has been made. The end is in sight now, although still kind of a speck on the horizon. We are now bundling them in stacks of 5. I’ll try to take a picture before they’re gone but still have not bought batteries for my camera.
I’m now also at:

What a relief it must be to finally be back in a home of your own! Wishing you a smooth and gentle settling in process, and a long cozy stay.

I’m sure that you’re happy to be unpacking. Also, I’m sure that sometime in the future the roles will be reversed and someone else will be temporarily homeless and you’ll be able to offer them shelter.
PS: I just realized you were in someone’s basement. It seems unusual to me that there are basements somewhere in AFrica.

Hopefully this permanent is defined as “as long as you’re in Morocco”. Enjoy your unpacking, looking forward to photos.

Yeah!! I am so thrilled for you guys. Take everything out of the cases and throw it around. Or not. That could be messy. Oh well, enjoy your privacy.

Hey I was in Tim and Debbie’s garage looking at kitchen stuff for Laura and saw your mountain of boxes…. And now you have a place to live so you might come and get some of them…. You know, we could send one with each person who makes a connecting flight via Casa…. might be iffy, but if we ever do, we’ll bring some of it.

Welcome home! May it be permanent — or semi-permanent, as the case may be.
And congratulations on all those cards. My thumbs have been sore lately from constantly lifting either the baby or my coffee mug. So the thought of doing something that repetitious makes my hands ache in sympathy for you.

I’m so happy for you guys!
How close is it to school? (I’m wondering about the lie-in possibilities.)
Do you have a garden?

You’re finally in your new place! Is it on a busy street? Closer to the schools? Tell all!

I hate when that Google reader number gets so high! I’ve spent a good portion of my evening whittling it down. Picking and choosing posts from each blog. (While I was doing this, Marley was lying beside me shivering from her fever going up. I should have been writing a paper, but who could write a paper with their daughter in that condition?)
Looking forward to pictures!
