The New House

Well we officially closed on the house on Monday, November 6th.  We were so excited to finally get the keys to the house.  We then took the next 2 weeks or so to gradually move our things over from Craig's parents house and to get unpacked.  We figured that since we had a place to stay we could take our time to move over so that we didn't have to live out of boxes.  I spent a lot of the days at the house with the kids while appliances and furniture got delivered and then either Craig or I would go back in the evening after the kids went to bed.  We moved into the house right before Thanksgiving on the 20th.  The kids adjusted really well to the house, I'm sure it helped that we went over at least weekly while it was being built and then spent so much time there as we were moving in.  Brooklyn loved her new bed and dresser and she especially loves her window seat.  We pretty much bought all new furniture for the house except for McKay's room.   We sold all of our furniture when we moved from Memphis which made moving a lot easier and it was a lot of fun to buy new things for the new house.  There are still a few things that we need to get, like new night stands and decorative things, but really we are felling quite settled.  The only piece of furniture that still needs to be put together is the desk for Craig's office.  We have been putting that off because it is such a big job.  One of these days we will get that done and then get his office organized.  We have really loved the new house so far and knock on wood, the kids haven't destroyed anything yet.  I was a little nervous about having a brand new house and all brand new furniture and 2 little kids running around. We are really looking forward to a long while in this house and for this to be the house that our kids grow up in.
