New digs, new challenges

Our move update:





Our new kitchen looks like the above. I ran out of space, so cloths/towels are on the counter and some cooking tools sit on top. I'm still trying to make it look more organized and pleasant.



This is the bathroom we all share. My four-year-old stated it simply: it is old and rusty-- I don't like moving. However, there is only one toilet to clean and one place to put toothbrushes. I must say I would prefer to clean the bathtub without it flaking off on my cloth.




We do get the most perfect porch anyone could want. It makes me want to put on a long, gauzy dress and sip mint juleps.





The stained glass is just lovely. I'm trying to think of what color to paint the walls to set them off. I am a little daunted by the many coats of paint in a 100-year-old house......

Clearly we are "in the house!". As in, the belongings we have are in our new house. It took three twelve-hour days of unpacking stacks of boxes to find the most basic of items like hairbrushes and underwear. It has been over-whelming and I have been driving back and forth for school, ballet, classes and so forth. We put 120 miles on the car in one day! The kids are tired and I have become entirely mediocre. We do homework in the car and hope they brush their teeth each day.

I'm so glad you are in! It will take a while, but you'll get it the way you want it. I can't wait to come and walk the neighborhood with you!

There is charm in small spaces. Your books look right at home next to the fireplace. And it's great that summer is here... You'll get to enjoy that porch right away.
