My brother and his fiancee have moved into our Lake House! We are so happy to have them closer and hope they will enjoy living here.
Early morning play
Big B is the first one out the door to middle school. Have a great Thursdsay!
Super J and I enjoy breakfast together
Sister CC picks out her snack for daycare.
Little L practices piano
Dressed for a day of moving boxes and furniture!
Pick out an outgrown sweatshirt for the neighborhood Freecycle group
Boys ready for the bus
Break in photos until we've arrived at the lake! Dave backs in the 26 foot moving truck
"Keep coming!" says Grumpa, but the truck is stuck in the mud
It's a glorious (RAINY) day on the water
Before the unpacking starts, I take a quick picture of the empty space
In process-- unloading goes surprisingly quickly
Family meeting inside the truck
Mid-way through
Small problem when the couch pieces won't fit through the door
"It's Magic!" says Karen
"The couch is in!"
Nana in the overhead storage, passing down the final boxes
Check out how far the tire has sunk into the dirt
Now that the truck is unloaded, we (Karen) try to dig out the tire
Maybe if we wedge some plywood under the tire, we'll be able to drive it out?
This is great-- we all watch while Karen does the hard work!
Have I mentioned that it's been raining this entire time?!?
We have to give up on our plans of digging out the truck, and call in a tow
And this is why-- there's a hidden DRY WELL under the moving truck tire!
Wow, wow, wow.
FaceTime with Daddy still at work to show him the progress.
Unloading is complete
Some things stored in the basement
The U-Haul is unstuck, and we head down to Karen's to unload the last of the big items that she will store in her great room
Backing into the farm driveway
Nana sweeps out the truck after the final items unloaded
I drive down the hill in the truck with David on the last leg
Daddy and B are home to greet us!
Attach the travel trailer
And they're off! Bye bye, big truck!
Daddy tries to even out the tire marks in the grass
Go to pick up the children from daycare
Shenanigans happen
Nana and Grumpa come for dinner and they play games while it finishes cooking
This one is just perfect
Pretending to "sleep"
Probably talking about the universe and astrophysics
Aunt Karen joins us for dessert
Cleaning up
After dinner, I have a library book club event to attend
But we get this message from the lake... there's a dripping from one of the kitchen beams! Yikes
We touch base with our contractor, who will check on the leak tomorrow. Now it's time for bed after a very busy day!
See you in November, DITL!
