We Moved In

Wahoo!  Move in day arrived!

Zero pics taken - but I will recap saying it was pretty crazy/stressful trying to align everything between the closing and the movers bringing our stuff over (so grateful to have that blessing of movers with a company relocation), but it was crazy trying to get the timing right.

And we had a really small window to move in before hubs left town for a work trip.

Timing was everything.

When it was all said and done, we moved in, and the hubs had three days to help me out before he was outta town for a little over a week.

The girls were troopers with me.  Between feedings, we'd attack the unpacking.  Having unpacked from packers, I know it's a little crazy.  Their goal is to pack according to weight, and safety.  Not for how you'd always organize things yourself.  So it's pretty overwhelming when you open "one box" only to realize you need to open all the boxes for the whole room to get things unpacked.  And then still find things in odd places. 

It felt overwhelming, but tackling it a room at a time was so helpful.

Kitchen

Bathrooms

Closets (hanging)

Family Room

Kids Rooms 

Melting pot from there!

And with the unpack, I realize how very blessed we are, and really try to think about the items and the need for our family.  Letting go of what we don't need and giving it to places/people that do have needs is much better than having it sit around for 'in case we need it again.'  It takes time, and I feel like is a constant battle, but is worth the effort!!

Hubs sent a beautiful pic of his work trip to Maine:

 Oops!  Washed the 2 year olds' FAVORITE BOOK EVER!!

 Dumping out ALL the toys was the only way to unpack them.  And declutter.  Declutter.  Declutter!! We easily let go of 50% of the chunk, and the kids haven't missed them.
