The Countdown Continues...

Packing has been part of our daily routine. Yesterday we completed Sweet-Pea's room. She now only has an empty dresser, an empty book shelf, the horse barn she likes to play with, and her mattress...which is on the floor. It's pretty empty around here these days!!

Here she is, helping to take her bed apart. She was a big help and actually thought it was exciting to pack up everything in her room.


She'll miss the ballet bar and mirror we put up, but it just means we'll have to be as creative in our new home.


Look what FINALLY got added to our 'For Sale' sign!!!! We have been waiting and waiting to see this sign hanging outside, but it never appeared. Today, Edward came home from work and said to me "Why didn't you call me to say it was up???" I said "What was up?" and then he pointed outside. I practically screamed with excitement. It's SO REAL now!!!!! God is good!



Of course, being the avid (yet amateur) photographer that I am, I had to take a gazillion photos of the sign in front of the house. This is one of my favorites...


Now that we'll be moving...we are thinking about what needs to be done at the new home. First order of business....a mailbox! Yup...gotta make room for those bills that will be pouring in once we move in!!!

Here's Lionel and Edward getting ready to put the pole in the ground.


Edward's Dad came over to help us. He's very good at this sort of thing, plus he loves doing it!


Checking to see if things are level. Perfection at it's best!


Done! Now it looks like someone lives there....well, almost!

Only 11 days!!!

It feels like forever since I've checked in on my hsb friends. I can see that there has been a lot going on at your place. Love the new house, it looks kind of "colonial time." Loved the pics. of the inside too. So happy for you and your little family. You are blessed. :--)
