Some snaps and notes from our moving days…
8am Eyeliner is wonky. I really could use a shower but husband called to confirm the plan for the piano placement. So instead I straighten my hair, fill the to go mug, and head over to the new house.
10:30 Kids move from doing schoolwork upstairs to an empty bedroom
…while we tag team checking in boxes and Alannah directs mover traffic in the lower level
11am First casualty, a big green glass demijohn bottle. Sigh.
Some comic relief
noon lunch break.
Alannah drives Moira to work. Husband and I muse about the possiblity of nodding off.
3:30pm three books randomly fall out of a box. One happens to be the title an adult son asked me to please read. (Soon, I promise)
4pm B is worn out. Abbie is reveling in that moment when you find the box with your toys.
5pm A child reports, "I hear swearing in a bunch of different languages," which confirms my hunch that they have begun to move the piano. God bless them. That was no picnic.
7:30pm Take out pizza and salad for the family. Make a cold meat and fruit plate for myself.
Now comes the unpacking.















The piano! Ugh. After lugging our beloved 100 year old 2000 pound piano around from house to house to house, we finally left it behind a move ago… (sigh) And bought a newer, lighter piano. Plays almost as nice – easier to move – but miss all the memories! One of which is how hard it is to move! Bless you guys as you move in and unpack. Now the fun really begins!
Movers here won’t even touch pianos- you have to hire a specialty company just for that
Have fun unpacking, and sorting out your new home!
Welcome Home. May that “homey” feeling soon permeate every room and make you sigh with relaxation. Thank you for sharing your toils.My prayers are with you.
Congrats on the move and best wishes with your new home!
