Home

This closet is just my size, and I'm going in. See ya, mom!

We've done it! We are in! The moving is done, the paperwork is complete, the unpacking is 95% complete and the house already feels 100% like our own home.... and it feels sooo good. We are discovering new and wonderful little things about our home and yard everyday. The kids love the many nooks, cubby holes and secret hiding spots. I love all the storage, shelving and space to spread out. Finally all the little things we've been collecting over the years have a permanent place and we have plenty of room to spare (and lots of room for visitors!). Alan and I stayed up until 2:30 am on the first night of us moving in because we were having so much fun putting things away and starting the make the space our own. Unfortunately, Alan then had to leave town for a week, so he has yet to see a lot of the progress than has been made, but it will be a great reunion for us all this weekend. Hope he likes how I've decorated!

Now it is time for us to relax, celebrate and enjoy summer in our great space. Caleb has requested a week-long move-in party once Alan is home, complete with a trophy for the 'winner' at the end of the week. Not quite sure what Caleb has in mind, but I'm sure it will be great, and a week-long party seems appropriate for all the moving we have done!

I've been too busy to take many photos, but here are a few I managed to get from the last week.

Adding our names to the house's history - a growth chart in the carriage house with names dating back to 1963!

Caleb being the wonderful big brother he is!

During a shopping trip to the big city of Digby, Caleb had one dollar with him that he wanted to use to buy Odin a ride on this bike.  What a guy.
