Its mid July. Somewhere in the midst of the last few months we made a daring move to our new house. In the crazy and chaotic sojourn, that can only be compared to the experience of sitting on the hood of ones car while moving forward full-throttle, into an automatic car wash, we pummeled our way through the final months of our school year.
Somewhere in there we bought a house. Closed a deal. And while juggling packing, planning and raising two small imps we balanced our time into ripping up carpet in the new place and laying fresh pergo. We set our moving day for the end of May. And with the help of dozens of friends and family, we made our goal.
We landed, tangled and upside down into our new home. With a few weeks to finish up in of our school years, we stumbled around mountains of flotsam and jetsam trying to make sense of our lives.
We managed to grab a camera a few times, catching glimpses of cherished friends who helped us along. Sadly, there a lot of folks missing from those photos.

The day we took ownership!
The "before shot" of the living room
Experimented with a few colors...red. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Painting, Pergo and dear, dear friends...

Testing out the new doorbell. A perfect fit! (Unlike his pants...)

In short, its was a busy spring. But we LOVE our new home. Thank you to ALL of our friends and family who helped us so much during this crazy time!
We revel in summer now. Stay tuned! Stories of our VERY adventurous summer are coming soon!!
