Moving Day

(I tried to post this last week, but our computer was acting up...)

Moving Day Chaos...and Oak with BIG smiles in the middle of it all...

So, we finally moved in last Saturday...with the help of family and friends, we now have all of our stuff in one location for the first time in our adult lives!! We have been enjoying the house this week, although we have been slow in unpacking everything since Alan has been working long days, and I have been juggling my work, taking care of Oak (who is increasingly active and talkative lately), various appointments, etc. It has been nice to have breakfast each morning and dinner every night together around our new table...and we had our first dinner guest last night, when my dad joined us for dinner. Slowly, but surely we are settling in...and we feel so thankful for our new home. Oak and I have also enjoyed taking walks around our new neighborhood this week as the weather has been sunny and a bit warmer. The unpacking will get done...the cleaning will get done...the long list of fix-ups and house projects will get done...but, for now we are taking our time and enjoying our first home as a family!

P.S. We sure do miss Grammy and Grampy, though...

Workin' Day and Night...

We're still not moved into our house...although, we have been spending day and night there working hard to get Oak's room and the bathroom done.
The pictures are of Alan in Oak's room prepping...and then the green room is Oak's room today...almost ready to move in.
I am working on the new tile we laid in the bathroom...I'll post the "after" picture once its all the way complete. My brother, Tim and Alan are working hard to finish it up...we replaced everything except the tub basin.
And of course, Oak is "working hard" in his jump-up and exersaucer. It is amazing how much he is changing every day...so inquisitive about everything...anxious to be moving, but not yet really getting anywere on his own. He's our little bugaboo!
