Well, we are officially in our new home! We actually spent our first night last night, but I was WAY too exhausted to update last night :) Moving day went extremely well. We got up early and finished a few last things before people started arriving at 8:00.
I went to Einsteins and got bagels and coffee for everyone-even Eli :) He thoroughly enjoyed his bagel and milk. Like the hair? :)And then this:
Well...and a WHOLE lot more stuff. It took two truck loads to bring everything over. Plus, we had already moved the kitchen stuff over (I had wanted to have the kitchen somewhat set up before moving day). We started at 8 and everything was in our new home by noon. It was amazing how quickly everything went! We had about 10 guys helping, so I think I only carried about 2 boxes the whole day. My job was pointing the guys in the right direction. I actually just finished mopping the floor (finally!) so hopefully his feet won't look like that again tomorrow.
The whole family came to help. Mom got 'kid duty' which was a HUGE blessing. I'm pretty sure this whole move and thrown Eli for a bit of a 'loop' and he's been pretty fussy. Hopefully that will pass...soon...
Eli took a bath in his new tub. I only took one picture, and then got sidetracked, so this isn't a great picture.

Hopefully that will pass...soon...We had pizza for lunch and then started the 'real work'...the house we're in hasn't been lived in for a while, and we had hoped to scrub it top to bottom before we moved in. However, we didn't quite accomplish that-though mom had cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen for us, and dad had done quite a bit of work too (THANKS!) so we cleaned, and unpacked. Krista helped me unload the rest of the kitchen and clean. I was so glad everyone was there helping, because for some reason, by 2 I was totally exhausted. I have no idea how Edgar had the energy to keep going all day...

Eli went to bed and everyone headed for home, so Edgar and I cleaned up a few more things and went to bed, completely exhausted! (I think I've overused the word exhausted in this post...)
Today I worked on getting the living room in order, and was completely amused by this:
