The Big Move

We're not quite moved in to our new house, but we are finally moved out of our old place. Most of the month of May was spent slowly moving over car loads of boxes over to the new house, and putting in new hardwood floors upstairs. The hardwoods were finished while we were off at Joe's graduation, over Memorial Day weekend we were finally ready for the big move. With quite a bit of help from our friends last Saturday, we rented a truck and moved all of our bulky furniture the 1.7 miles from our old apartment to our new house. Jeff's expert moving skills (hard earned over several summers on the William & Mary moving crew) contributed to a very well packed truck and kept the number of trips to a minimum. We managed to not work anyone too hard and before too long we were breaking out the beer and burgers for our first bbq on our new back deck.

We spent the rest of the long weekend beginning the long process of unpacking and moving the few small things we had left. Mom and Don helped with transplanting all the plants from our old garden to our new front yard, and on Tuesday night Elaine and I cleaned our old place from top to bottom and said goodbye to our old home. Now we can begin the process of getting the house ready for the baby!

Sorry these next few posts took so long to put up. It took a while for our dsl connection to be activated at our new place, so I couldn't upload all the pictures until now.
