Vip Tour of the New Crib

It was really important to me to take the kids to the new house right away, get them all excited and show them around before the world turns upside down for a few weeks. I imagine alot of time with me unpacking and organizing at the new house while Mike cleans and paints the old one. It's going to get bumpy for everyone especially the kids. So, today we all went over to see the house.

Riley stands on the welcome mat, none to sure what's happening here. (That lasted approximately 45 seconds before running and squealing with glee ensued.)

Isaac describes exactly how we should decorate his new room. So far he's pushing for "Lego Atlantis" as a theme.

Ta-da! Isaac's Room. He went from no closet to two! And this room isn't a walk through to anyhing else. He currently sleeps laundry room and side door adjacent.

This is what excited looks likes. A real yard. Isaac and Riley ran around for a minute and then Riley stopped, turned around and hugged me around the legs. "You're welcome, kids. My pleasure."

Exploring...

Is it a shower? Or a space ship? Riley, space explorer. She left no stone unturned. She opened and shut both toilet seats a few times and climbed into the empty fridge.

I found you!

Wow.

"Hey guys! That pretty girl in the mirror lives here too!"

Looking out the living room window.

We hung a collage frame full of family pictures before we left. I wanted to plant a flag on the moon, claim our new home. We also met a neighbor out taking her kids and dog for a walk. It was a good trip. There's so much potential. I think the kids are really excited now. I know Mike and I are. Hurray, for forward motion. No more waiting, looking, hoping now we move on to a brighter chapter in our family history.
