We made it through the move! We officially moved last Friday and so we have been in the new house almost a week now! There is no way I could have made it through without my parents who stayed with us for 11 days. Nick had a meeting going on at corporate that was the Thursday/Friday before we closed on Monday. Then Monday right after closing he had to fly to Philadelphia until Thursday afternoon before we moved. Needless to say, Mom and Dad helped A LOT! And we are very thankful! Especially me. I'm pretty sure we would still be in the old house if they hadn't come.
We have nearly all of the boxes in the main house unpacked, but still have to finish organizing/decorating and hanging pictures. Then we move onto the garage & basement. It feels so good to be somewhat "settled". We are all adjusting really well... Ella didn't sleep so great the first night, but is now back to her normal sleeping and napping schedule which is fantastic! Lucky somehow seems calmer and happier in this house, I don't know why, maybe all the comfy carpet? We had mostly hardwood and tile in the other house so that is the only explanation I can come up with! And I have been sleeping better than I have in months... I think I didn't really realize how much stress I was really under. So all in all things are great!
Here are some "unfinished" pictures of the house:

And here is some cute Ella videos:
This is a little older but I forgot to share it, we switched Ella to a sippy cup at bedtime instead of a bottle and she refuses to sit still and be calm while drinking it, this was one of the first nights (Nick was out of town). Amazingly she still goes right to sleep after she is done!
Playing and "dancing"
Sorting beans in a muffin pan... which was dumped out shortly after this was taken!
11 days and home again but we miss you all already! Thanks for these videos!
