Update

We moved while it was pouring rain. It turned to sleet and snow and back to rain. My leather couches had a nice shower and after toweled off looked good as new. Thank you Mom for helping me tape down thick paper to the entire wood floor prior to the wet messy move! And thank you to everyone who helped. We couldn't have done it without you!

Both my kids have been sick but are now recovering. The day before the move and the day of, Madeline had a fever. Ethan’s came later. Along with runny noses and horrible coughs. All are well today!
For days, Madeline had no appetite, we finally were able to convince her to eat Popsicles
We’ve unpacked the entire upstairs and even have some of the pictures hung!
The downstairs is still full of boxes, partly due to the fact that we don’t have enough book shelves for all the books in the boxes.

I LOVE the skylight in the upstairs hall bathroom. I’m surprised how much I love it. It makes the windowless room as cheery as the rest of the house.

We have a park in our backyard that came with the house. The kids are in heaven, and so am I!
This big slide is also hooked to a bar with two normal and one baby swing!

This fun slide came with the house too!

Our radon detector detected the level of radon in our house last night to be close to 13. A safe level is less than 4. Not. Good. We will be taking care of that shortly. Too bad not cheaply. You should get a radon test in your house if you never have.

I love my new house. Even if you remind me of all the stuff I still need to do . . .

The end.

is the radon from your Granite countertops? Dr Oz did a bit on radon being in granite...how do you fix Radon levels? (or do you just replace stuff? Yikes...)

Your house looks so pretty! I'd love to come see it sometime! Email me and let me know if there is a day that is good for you, and I'll come over. I'd also love to talk to you about my new calling (which was yours:)). You would be a great person to ask my questions to. Let me know! I'll even bring you a "house warming" treat. :)
