Good news – I’m back up and running! I must have just had a little 24 hour bug because after a day of rest and a good night’s sleep, I’m back to 100%. So, let’s get on with it because we’ve got lots to do! First up – the move! Whoa…moving is no joke! On Thursday of last week, we had our GREAT movers from New Latitudes come and pack up the house. In all my previous moves, I’ve packed myself…but I’ve also never moved 8 months pregnant with 2 toddlers! Let me say, letting the movers pack us was worth every. single. penny. They were there from 8:30am to about 7:30pm with basically no breaks. A full day! The boys loved checking out all the boxes that night!
On Friday morning, the boys got ready to head out with Mrs. Susan while Robert and I got ready to move. I had to take a little family picture on the last morning at our old house though…
Who’s excited about the new house! woohoo!
GJ and I manned the old house most of the day while Robert dealt with the remaining workers at the new house. Oh yes, we had all kinds of workers still in there up until the very last minute! But, they got all of the important stuff done just in time so that was great. A few glimpses of some empty rooms before all of our boxes came in…
and a sneak peek of the bathrooms we re-did…
They were loading up the trucks at the old house from about 8:30 to 3:00 and then finally made it to the new house to unload it all!
The boys quickly found their place amongst all the boxes…
Spencer learned to master the stairs (though he still prefers a hand to hold when coming down!)…
and everyone enjoyed a first meal in the new house!
By the end of the day, we were all so exhausted that we all slept great – boys included! Everyone liked their new rooms! Hooray! The next morning, Susan nicely took the boys to see a Christmas play and, while they were gone, I got the boys rooms all fixed up. Maxwell’s room…
and Spencer’s…
I’d say he likes it! 🙂
We also managed to get the kitchen somewhat organized…
We still have LOTS to do – like get an actual working dishwasher and dryer – but we’re in and we’re happy to be here! Now if we could just get that Christmas tree decorated….
