The house actually closed on April 18th - the last day of tax season! (Somebody has a sense of humor!) It originally was suppose to close on the April Fool's Day, then got moved to the usual last day of tax season -April 15th and finally we signed all the papers and got the key on April 18th, after James had worked about 12 hours that day and 50 12 -16 hr days in a row! He was brain dead - so he was kind of unenthralled with the whole process of signing his name a couple hundred times that evening. I, on the other hand was ecstatic. The kids went along and declared it simply the most boring thing they had ever done!
We actually spent the night there the following Friday - just so we could say we had slept there before we went on our vacation to Colorado. The kids swam in the pool and we ate pizza - you can't possibly think I wanted to mess up my brand new Viking Kitchen. That will come later when I can get out my Giada cookbooks and do something really stunning and YUMMY!
Upon returning from our great vacation to Avon - visiting with dear friends, swimming in the pool and playing in the snow - we began the process of moving over the "little" things. What a blessing to have the time to leisurely move the "stuff" we could - before the movers come on Tuesday! They will move the "big" stuff! I will post pictures of our new digs and our move.
Yikes -there is still a ton of little stuff - did I say I could do this leisurely????
