I started out with this as an email group, but on second thought... a blog it is :)  Enjoy!

We have been here for a little over a week all together as a family and are enjoying exploring our new terrain.  A week ago our friends Brian and Ashley brought us our Prius and we were able to
enjoy some quality time with them here.... Seems we never spent much time
with them back in WI, but out of state we see them!  Our truck arrived on
Tuesday and by Saturday we had all the boxes unpacked.. We are only missing
a few things and have only a couple things broken.  Nothing we can't deal
with.
We have already become very familiar with the library as well as the
children's museum in Olympia, both will be favorites for the kids!  Lucy
started school last week and made friends quickly. We have gone to our new
chruch, Messiah Lutheran, twice now and are feeling very af home there.
 Pastor Nitz is one of the most educated and well spoken pastors we have
experienced, he is very kind as well.  All the members are very welcoming
too.  Lucy started Sunday school and loved it, making even more friends.
 Owen came with us to adult bible study for a short while until he became
restless then I took him outside to run... There I met a women outside with
her 2 yearold grandson running she also has grown children in the Milwaukee
area and was just visiting them.  When I told her who we were she told me
she had heard we coming to Olympia from some young couple in Milwaukee! What
a small world.
Dan started work today... We sent him off... He was anxious, we tried to
hold him off as long as we could reminding him he didn't have keys and
things run on 'Washington' time here.
Things are bigger than big, greener than green, our bike ride reminded us
that we live close to the mountains not by some small hills in Wisconsin,
and God's beauty surrounds us daily.

Love you all!
Hope to hear from you soon!
