Life in the country!: Moving Time & First Memories at our new place :)

OUR FIRST NIGHT

We closed on a Friday afternoon and camped out at our new house that night.

As we were getting close to our house Alice got super excited (clapping her hands

and cheering 'corn, corn') about the corn in the fields.

We picked up pizza from Nana Rosa's in Reinbeck to celebrate our new home.

(Note the bright orange kitchen walls- this was one of the first things to go!)

It was fun to camp out as a family for our first night. The next day we moved the items from our storage garage down but then spent Sunday and the beginning of the next week back at our old house.

Our moving process began Wednesday, July 4 and continued until Saturday night. Both our parents came to help, along with Austin, and Jenessa when she wasn't working.

MOVING TIME!

SETTLING IN!

By the time our parents left Saturday night rooms were unpacked . . . kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. Everyone was a huge help!!! Mom R, Austin, and Jen helped with cleaning and then unpacking, my mom helped with painting, our dads helped with hauling and moved A LOT of stuff.

The girls entertained themselves fairly well at times and with the help of grandma's, grandpa's, and Uncle Austin at other times.

I tried to take this picture when Alice was on grandma's lap but I just missed the moment. Grandma took a couple breaks through the few days to read to Alice. As she would start falling asleep Alice would learn up and give her a kiss to wake her up and get her to keep reading.

My mom painted the kitchen and the girls room. Alice took this picture of grandma in her new room. :)

It was an exhausting 4 days but it was so nice to have things cleaned and many things unpacked in such a short amount of time. We are so thankful for our families help and hard work!!!

PLAYTIME OUTSIDE!
