Curtains

I forgot to post pictures of our lovely makeshift curtains. It was Skylar's nap time on our first day in the house and I realized it was going to be way too bright in there and that we better get something up on the window. The posterboard was the first thing I thought of and I just threw it up. I didn't think it would still be there almost 2 weeks later...but I am working on a permanent solution. It looks hilarious pulling up to our house. (and yes, I realize that light still gets in from the sides, but it was the best I could do)

Moving Day Pics

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!

Moving

We are moving to Richmond, VA tomorrow! It is bittersweet to leave our little Greenville but I think we will like Richmond. Skylar seems to be doing great with the transition so far. Will post some pics when we are settled and back up and running again.
