Finally...It's Move-in Day for Peter and Hope!


Before
Ready for move in....today


From Chaos to Calm

This has been the transition to beat all transitions. It started last Thanksgiving when Hope and Peter bought an old house, a strong house with good bones built in the 1920’s. It needed a lot of work. but the location was irresistible and Hope thought it would be a fun challenge to manage the project….a remodel that has lasted seven long months!

Today, after living in two rental houses, a friend’s house, Grandma Susie’s house, Uncle Shawn’s house, and my apartment, they are moving into their new house. They have all been at my house for the past three days, and now the move is in full swing. Here are some shots of the last few days.

Clean and simple!
We have too much stuff!
Peter's old bed...now Jude's bed in his new room
So many decisions have been made!
Wow

"Bloom Where Planted," is what Martha McLean would say.
 May Peter, Hope, Jude and Auggie do just that!
