The Before Pictures

Here's some pictures of us as we were moving in. And speaking of moving in...hiring movers is the way to go! It was so nice. I stood around and told people where to go (a gift I've been honing for a long time) and occasionally I moved some suitcases out of the bedroom. Then I swept and swiffered the floor, locked the door, and walked out. Our good friend Michael came to help us move out and he probably thought it was the dumbest idea ever that we asked him to come. He ended up tending Beckett for me most of the time while I did cleaning stuff because the movers were so fast.

Here is the living room with our semi broken wardrobe (the movers did warn us that it was too big and may get hurt. We were going to smash it ourselves to get it out if they couldn't) that now reminds me of Pee Wee's Playhouse. Beckett already felt at home and wandered around without pants.

This is Beckett's room, which I felt I needed to title because I thought the crib might not be obvious enough. It's a nice light yellow color, a left over from the prior 15 month old boy resident. The carpet's a so so color, but it's carpet and soft and Beckett already loves to lay down on it.

This is the kitchen. Do you see all those cupboards? And there are more not pictured!

And finally here is your gratuitous Beckett picture as he grooves to the beat of his maracas on our living room floor.

Our landlords are so nice. They brought over water and toilet paper and even watched Beckett while the movers brought everything in. They're very conscientious and love Beckett. They said they're so happy to have a baby around again. Their kids are around 14 and 10 and nice. We've been to the park almost every day and story time at the library and at the park today we met some new friends who live up the road. Plus the toilet flushes on the first try! All in all the move just keeps getting better.
