It is crunch time over here and we spent the weekend packing, loading our moving van, prepping the house for our renter- painting, painting and more painting-I am officially sick of painting! Everything is now out of the house except for a mattress on the floor and all of Lucy's gear. We are tired and overworked, we have nearly killed each other numerous times! Taking care of everything (only the two of us, while juggling a baby) was the most challenging task we have yet to conquer but somehow we did it!
Why do you paint a house if you leave it?! But congrats - you really did it! All packed!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! you guys are very inspiring!
ReplyDeletegood luck with the move, can't wait to see what you do to your new place!

ReplyDeleteAloha, Kate
What a cute family.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha - pretty funny and so true!!! It's hard to get uprooted with a little one to boot!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club! Now that you're exhausted - good luck with the drive. At least you have cell phones to communicate. We actually had walkie talkies 7 years ago when we did our drive from SD to Portland, OR - lol! That's how times have changed - we were trying to save money. I had a just under 1 year old in the back of the car along with my grandma - one place we stopped late for the night had one room left in the whole town and it had one King bed - for all 4 of us - lol. Good luck!
loved the post. good luck on your move. i thought it interesting, you ended your post with that darling smiling little face. that just says it all.
ReplyDeletehope to meet you soon. i'm doing a gallery show in seaside in august.
Lucy is so cute :) Thank you for your wonderful posts and I love how real you and your family are. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteTo have that lovely attitude after painting over the beautiful floor and those walls. Swoon. I love the cool blue gray you painted over. I know.... It's just paint. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteWe did gutted the house we bought here in southern CA two years ago so I understand the tired of painting feeling.
ReplyDeleteIt was our dream to move back to CA and it has really helped my art. Good luck with your dreams.
whoohoooo!!!! :) oxxoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post! We moved when my son was 3 months old and my daughter was 2 1/2, so I totally know where you are coming from. You did find some great moments with your camera though. So when you look back, you'll have some good things to remember as well as the challenges!
ReplyDeleteoh, your daughter is SO sweet and cute! What a lovely baby! :)
