Moving Day...

Moving day started with a bit of a surprise, as the movers arrived at 8 AM instead of 8:30 AM. Cam had taken Chance to his dayhome and our babysitter for Karin had not yet arrived, so I was rushing all over the place with Karin under my arm like a football. It was drizzling rain to boot...we were thankful the movers wrapped all our furniture in shrinkwrap. We left the old house at noon and arrived at the new house at 12:30......however the guy meeting us with the keys was not there! Needless to say, Cam and I were majorly ticked off...especially because the clock was ticking with the movers...(paid hourly). One of the movers was quite a joker and told me that he had managed to break into the house, that he knew all the tricks. I was not feeling very good about that....until he laughed and said he had found a key on top of the door frame. We were all moved in and finished up by 4 PM or so. Our babysitter Chelsea was great with Karin, she held her and played with her while I was busy, and then when it was time to nurse Karin, Chelsea was right in there hauling stuff out from the garage up to various rooms. Cam took Chelsea home, picked up Chance, and grabbed a pizza for supper on the way back. Whew!

I didn't manage to take a photo of all the empty rooms in the old house, but did manage to get the basement. Goodbye, Old Basement!

Karin being quite the "helper" unpacking the kitchen supplies.

Box city...we only recently got this room emptied out. The room is intended for a dining room...which we're not interested in havng. For now it serves as a lounge/flex area just off the kitchen. One day perhaps we will have a piano in here. To keep Cam from running into the light, we had it shortened by about a foot.
