Easter Week-End

All four of our kids and the two spouses were here over Easter week-end.  It was a full week-end brimming with activity!  Kira had the foresight to snap a few pictures (which is why she isn't in any of them...)

Kyle installed a Direct TV dish for us (on the roof)

His buddy Casey helped him out

The other guys watched from the ground (Chandler, Mike and Chris)

All 4 dogs and Griffin

Everyone had a good time (Griffin, Chris, Casey, Kyle, Megan)

 

Getting Settled In

Things are starting to come together.  More boxes get unpacked every day.  Starting to find things that we haven't seen since last summer.  Still, though, missing a bag of bolts for every piece of furniture that needs one.  Anyone seen that bag???  Kyle brought a trailer full of furniture, including a bed for a guest bedroom.  We're ready for visitors!

Here's some updated photos with a little more furnishings:

Moving Day (and our Anniversary)

On Friday we finally got to move in.  It's a slow process.  Some of our things were stored in the garage of the new house.  Some are in a friend's shop and lots of stuff in the cabin.   We're still missing some furniture because there are still things in Lewisville.

Here's the worldwind tour:

Living room.  Obviously missing some furniture

Upstairs.  My Office and the stair landing.

Master Bedroom (the only bed we have right now)

The kitchen.  Mostly unpacked!

A book Mike picked up for me in Hawaii...How we plan to spend our lives!

Sunday morning we drove to DFW so Mike could catch a flight to Las Vegas.  We'll return to the lake on Wednesday evening.  We'll unpack some more and then the kids are all coming up next week-end.

Coming in for the Finish

It seems to us that things have really been moving slow.  Probably because we are so anxious to get moved in!  In all actuality, there has been lots of progress.   

• After two full weeks, the tile guys finished grouting last week.  
• Another crew came to install the hardwood.  They got about 2/3 done and are due back today (yes, on Sunday)and tomorrow to finish that and install the carpet.  
• The plumber has been out and all plumbing, except for one toilet has been installed.   
• The driveways and sidewalks have been poured.
• The framed mirrors for the baths have been installed. 
• On Wednesday, the propane tank is being delivered and the fireplace will be hooked up.
