the move from 402

I know it's been a long time since I last posted. I'll try to catch everyone up on what's been going on. We recently left the house we had lived in for 8-1/2 years and moved out to the farm that Matthew grew up on. We later found out that Matthew was Finn's age when he moved out here. As far as the moving went, it was pretty easy since we only had half a mile to haul the stuff. We had two pickup trucks going all the time rotating 4 houses worth of stuff...Matthew's parents were moving into town, his sister was moving next door to their parent's new house in town, her boyfriend bought our house and was moving his stuff and then Matthew and I moved out to the farm. Sometimes it was like a circus, but it all got done. Crazy couple of weeks!!!

Matthew and I the day we left the house for the last time.















From the living room down the hall. Living room is to the right and kitchen to the left. First door on the left was the main floor bathroom. Last door on the left was Finn's room. Last door on the right was our bedroom.




















Living room and front door.















Oh the kitchen...Matthew spent countless hours redoing this kitchen and I loved it! I will miss the cabinets that he build.




















The cabinet I used as a pantry and to the right is the back door.




















The main floor bathroom. I don't know why, but we didn't get a picture of the basement bathroom.


Here is Finley helping me put food in the fridge. Turns out he is a wonderful help when packing and unpacking. When I was packing everything up all I had to do was hand him the kitchen stuff and he would put it in a box and he was actually very meticulous about how things were packed. Here he is putting away the eggs...he was so careful not to let any break.


Handing me more food to put in the cabinets...


Looking out the window at Bo and Ryder. He missed them while we were at our old house and they were already out at the farm. Sometimes, he would open the back door and call for them.


The farmhouse. We were leaving for church Sunday morning and I just had to stop and take a picture of the snow on the house. It looked so pretty.


Here are a couple of videos of Finn helping Grandma and Grandpa move their stuff out of the nursery upstairs. If you listen carefully, you can hear him huffing and puffing like Daddy and Grandpa did when they picked something heavy up except that he does it with almost every step and each time he put something down. =)




Here is a tour of the house as we have it now. It's only the main level and we aren't quite finished with even that yet, but it's how it's going to be for awhile. We haven't really started on anything upstairs. Each of us have beds and dressers up, but that's about it. My main goal for today is to get the nursery set up. I've washed the baby clothes and now they just need to be hung in the closet and put into drawers. By the way, I truly hate talking on videos and hate even more listening to myself talk, so I tried not to say too much, just wanted to explain what each room was.
