We moved in to our new house a week ago and it is finally starting to feel a little bit like home. It has been such a crazy couple of weeks and we are looking forward to some less chaotic days. We were lucky that Target packed and moved us...but we had no idea how hard it was going to be this time with a baby. Moving is not fun in general and moving with a 9 month old is crazy! Skylar hung in there most of the time, but she did have a rough couple of weeks and it shows in her new emerging personality. She has learned to throw a mini fit and now wants to be constantly entertained. It's all drama though cause she is over it as soon as you do something funny or distract her. Back to the movers....we had the option of having them unpack our things for us or leaving the boxes for us to unpack. We have done it both ways before and chose to have them unpack us because we still had boxes sitting around for months when it was up to us to unpack. They are supposed to unpack the boxes and just put everything on the closest open surface that they can find. I don't know if we have way more stuff than before or if the movers weren't as good, but the house was a disaster when they were finished unpacking. I am so thankful that my mom was there to help and she pretty much did all the organizing by herself. Here are some pictures of the craziness...
Kitchen with dishes everywhere!
Den with dishes everywhere. Skylar is checking out all the stuff.
Dining room
Living room
Master bedroom...they dumped all of our clothes on our bed. It took my mom and I both folding for 2 hours to get the bed cleared off.
Master closet- they dumped all of our shoes in the middle of the closet floor. We have way too many shoes!
Guest room
Hall
It was so cold in the house before we got the heat going that I had to swaddle Skylar up in a big blanket to keep her warm.
Sky's room
I think we are going to like VA. I love our neighborhood and although we haven't met any neighbors yet it feels like a really friendly place. We are ready for some visitors...you are welcome anytime!

those pictures are crazy! i don't like moving either and can't imagine it with a baby, you are brave! can't wait to visit.
Seeing all of your stuff everywhere kind of makes me want to cry. i would have been totally overwhelmed. Thank God for moms!
I can't wait to visit the new house-fun
Becca, oh my goodness! What a process! Glad to know you are all getting settled, but what an ordeal! Glad your mom could be there to help. Look forward to seeing more pictures once it's all in place! It looks like a beautiful home!
Hey Becca - Glad to hear that you had a great helper in this situation. Mom's are the best in times like this. I am sure that it has forced you to find a place for everything and get it out and used. We still have some boxes that are not unpacked and probably won't be until we move again, or I go through it and purge.
The carpets look nice in the pictures. I hope that drama gets settled with an outcome that you want.
You are in our thoughts and I wish you the best of luck in your new neightborhood!! I can't wait to move with Eme as she will be walking and talking by then along with getting into everything. Good times!! Enjoy the new house and new job!!
