The Move

We moved! It was one of the worst moves I have ever done. I don't want to go into details, but the tenant at the new house was not out when we painted, moved in and cleaned. He finally moved out two days after we were living in the house. And he did NO cleaning before leaving. Enough thinking about that!

Kris and I painted some of the rooms in the new home. Several of mine friends helped us pack. And I had a great group of friends that helped us move everything in.Charis did a good job entertaining herself while we painted the new house and cleaned the old house. She colored, played with her sticker book, sang, and rested on the floor. She seemed a little sad at times, but several times said "I like my new room!"

The last night at the old house, she sang and danced around her room. As you can see we did not pack her room until the night before the move - so that it would be less distributive to her.The sad part for me was having to paint over the wall that we used to measure her growth. We got lots of pictures, measured every date, and even transferred the marks onto something else - so that we can make a new growth chart.
