Let's get moving

It is official, we have moved into our first home...where we are enjoying wonderful inventions such as a dishwasher and our own washer and dryer (we have been going without for the past 2 years of marriage). Spencer is enjoying his very own office where he can study and house ALL of his books. Its been an adjustment sleeping at the opposite end of the house from Seth...we now use a monitor. The first night Seth had a really hard night....being in a new place and dealing with bad allergies, so needless to say the whole Plumlee family hardly slept a wink the first night. We've tried to keep his schedule and nighttime routine exactly the same and he has adjusted well...it only took 3-4 days for him to really get used to it. Now he loves all the space to run around in his walker!! He also loves the backyard and plays with daddy every evening in their fort!
The actual move itself went really smoothly. My parents kept Seth so we didn't have to worry about his sleep schedule while we moved all day. But we had about 20 or so college students, friends and family help us! We started at 9am, had the moving van packed up by 10:30am and unpacked by noon! After which we all celebrated by having pizza outside (we actually used the pizza to intice the college students to help us, food usually works)....the weather was just perfect for moving (sunny and in the 70s/80s!) We are so grateful for their help!!!!

As of today the boxes are all unpacked and most everything is put away. Just a few decorating things left to do....which I will have to do a little at a time. We miss our friends back at the Manor though....we had such a great experience there and we will never forget Seth's first home!
