Hayes was getting a little stir crazy in the house...
We played on the playground equipment...
And played in the sand...
Don't judge because she dressed herself!

A little decorating...
I finally unpacked the boxes of porcelain birds that belonged to Lee's grandmother. His aunt wanted us to have them now that we have a house that could accomodate them. Well as you can see, I had a tough time getting the birds in the case...
This little girl loves those birds, but I think she loves the cabinet more.

New School...
The kids are starting a new school today, I am very nervous for them. But they are more resilient than I am, I think they will be okay.

Unpacking... or Not
The guys from the moving company made a few comments about how much "stuff" we had... One even said that he had to go into the second roll of stickers to number the boxes, and he rarely did that. How could we have so much in such a small house.
I don't need to tell you how much fun unpacking has been. We actually did fairly well getting things unpacked. In two weeks, time the only rooms I have left are the sewing room and Hayes's room. Not bad... I think!
I might would be furthur along if the help wasn't fishing!

The kitchen is straight!

New Year... New Beginnings
We arrived in Charleston, January 2nd at 12:30 am. What a long day we had finishing up at the old house and saying our goodbyes...
Monday was spent cleaning and preparing the house for the moving company. Because they were to arrive Tuesday morning early, but you will never believe it, the truck broke down again!
Thank goodness we didn't find any furniture for our living room, despite the fact we didn't have any chairs to sit or relax on, but we survived...
And had fun:)
The fun ended when the truck finally arrived late Tuesday, but nothing was moved in until Wednesday. But as you can see by early afternoon, the truck was emptied...
After a shower, and some cheerios... some of us were worn out!

STAIR SLIDING>>> with the blow up mattress.

..into the living room
Actually, they put the boxes and furniture where I asked them too, this was just the overflow.
The real fun didn't begin until...
we began unpacking
After a shower, and some cheerios... some of us were worn out!
...unpacking is very tiring!

The Move....
What's the old adage...if it could go wrong it will go wrong. To start off we have a beautiful Brittany that loves the outdoors and loves to run and run and run. Needless to say moving to a subdivision is not the most appropriate environment for her. We found a wonderful home for her but found out a a few weeks prior to moving that Maddie was expecting... So now she and the puppies will be making the move with us. (She had 9 puppies Christmas night!)
The week of the move is here and the moving company is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. (2 days after Christmas!) I am feeling like a truck ran over me and at 10:30 am when no one has arrived, I begin to worry. After a call, to the moving company, I find out that their truck instrument panel has stopped working. Oh my, is this a sign of what is to come... Of course it is, when 2 hours later another company, I didn't know was coming, arrive to box up our TVs and the washer and dryer. You have got to be kidding me. No television noise for 5 days and no laundry, this can't be happening.
The moving truck arrives on Wednesday, and we pack and pack and pack. I have never heard so many comments about how much "stuff" we have. Well we do...The packing takes a full three days and finally at 10 pm on Friday night the truck is packed. However as I walk through the house, I realize that I told them oh we will take that, equated to a u-haul trailer worth... what on earth was I thinking!
I had to go rent a u-haul trailer to take the few things, that wouldn't fit in my husbands truck or my van... and don't forget I am hauling a mama dog, her 9 puppies, and my three kids! Lot's of fun!
