Moving

Yesterday I posted my annual roommate trip and how my sweet sweet husband moved us while I was gone. Well when I got back from my trip Sunday morning, Joe and my dad were still going back and forth between the two houses getting misc stuff that got left behind from the big move on Saturday. I headed over to clean up the inside before we turned the keys over for good. Bye-bye old house. We enjoyed living here our first 6 years in Georgia . . . this was a good little house with lots of nice neighbors:
Right before we officially turned over the keys:


Now we live here a whopping 4 miles from our old house. It will take some getting used to living in a 2 story house . . . Emily of course LOVES going up and down the stairs so I send her up or down them to get stuff for me all the time : )


Here is the front room and dining room. We'll need to get a dining room table one day:
Here's our kitchen:
. . . and our family room:

Master bedroom with a walk in closet (yea!) and a bathroom with 2 sinks (yea again!): . . . what will be our office/sewing room is next door to our bedroom. As you can see it still needs some work:
Here is Emily's room. She started sleeping in her big girl bed this past Sunday night and has done well so far:
She likes having all her "babies" sleep with her:

Here is what will be the nursery and then one day the guest room (when Emily and Baby #2 share a room). We are planning on painting this room this weekend. So anyone that wants to paint just come on over : )
The previous owners left their play set and patio furniture so Emily has really enjoyed playing outside. I love that she can go outside in the fenced in back yard and I don't have to worry about her running out in the road:
We have also enjoyed a couple of picnics outside. Joe even joined us (he HATES to eat outside):


So there you have it! We've been here a week and a half and have really enjoyed it! We've met lots of neighbors including a family who sits in their garage at night and watches TV on a big screen TV hung from the wall. They have couches and lounge chairs and everything. That's a hoot! They told us the scoop on the neighborhood one night and invited us to their tailgate party on Saturday.

We are so thankful to get settled before Baby #2's arrival. She should be here soon! Now we just need to come up with a name for her . . . any ideas? Emily keeps calling her Abigail or Anna depending on what day it might be.
