We Moved!

We moved.  We did it.  Moving is no joke.  I think I've said that a million times since this process all started.  It is a LOT of work.  We are not done.  We are moved in, but things are not in its place and not everything has been cleaned yet.  Believe it or not, we are having everyone over this weekend! (aaahhh!)  We will celebrate Ella's 5th Birthday on Saturday and it's also dance recital weekend with performances on Friday and Saturday night.  It will be INSANE! 

So, at some point I will take pictures of this new house to share.  For now, a few painting pictures.  Thanks to my Dad and Dianne, we can check 2 rooms off the "to be painted" list - they handled that for us last weekend.  HUGE relief!  See this room in its BEFORE state:

Someone spent a LOT of time and energy hand-painting this mural garden-like scene, but it is SO not us, so it had to go.  It has been repainted a muted shade of yellow.  In fact, it is the same shade of yellow that we used in Ella's room at the townhome.  So, we brought a little bit of the townhome with us. :)

 AFTER:

  MUCH BETTER!

Now we just need to get this ceiling fan replaced...

Officially, for now, this is the "toy room"

Here's Ella posing in her newly painted pink bedroom!  She was super excited!

Now if I can just get the rest of the house organized....

One day at a time...I keep repeating this to myself!!
