Moving Day

This weekend was very busy for us as we helped our son and his family move into this gorgeous home! They are first time home owners and they were very excited. I am thrilled for them also...isn't this a beauty???!!!

I fell in love with their back yard and their cottage style garage!! It is just beautiful and I am in
L.O.V.E.

The beautiful view from the back 

I was taking a photo and who appeared in my camera lens by chance?? This little stinker!! lol   Our granddaughter Annika.  

I was amazed by this beautiful chimney and the gorgeous windows. No details were spared in the building of this home even though it was many years ago. 

Don't you just love this little garage? The door is tri fold I believe and it needs a little work, but is definitely worth working on.

Another view of the backyard 

I love their front entryway and did you notice the place for a flag between the columns and up a little higher?
LOVE IT! 

There's our Natey...so happy for him...them!! 

Obviously I got carried away adding photos of the back yard area...oops. :) 

I would spend  a  little time hours on this swing every single day !!

Son backing up the moving trailer. He repeated this process a few times. lol. 

Sweet little granddaughter Ainsley 

This is what you see when you enter the front door!! So much character and potential for this amazing home. They want to remove the carpet and from a quick peek that my daughter-in-law and I took,  it appears that there is hardwood underneath!! Hoping and praying that is is in great condition! 

Relatively new kitchen in very nice condition.

Sorry for the indoor photos...they didn't turn out so great. 

A linen closet at the top of the stairs 

I even fell in love with their attic!! Wouldn't this be an amazing room to create in...*sigh* 

I think these two little angels came with the house. heehee 

The happy, happy, happy family!!  

I had to snap this photo quick!! *smile* 

Another feature of the home that I adore! When you walk in the front door, there is this little entry to hang coats and take off your shoes and then you enter this multiple paned door to the house. LOVE it!  

Another beautiful built in corner cabinet. Yes, there is lots of wallpaper and they want to take it down or paint over it. We will see how that goes.  Tons of lace curtains came with the home. 

Colette is so , so happy and we are very happy for them. 

If you think about it, please say a prayer for our two beautiful granddaughers Annika and Ainsley. Along with moving this weekend, they also had to leave their cats behind and Annika also starts school in a brand new school system on Thursday I believe. They also have had new babysitters for a couple weeks and that is a lot for two little gals to handle all at once. I am sure they will adapt, but if you could just breathe a prayer for them I would appreciate it so much.

A fun, but exhausting weekend and it is just beginning for them. They still have tons of stuff to unpack and put away, but I told them not to rush it. I said, "take your time"...the stuff isn't going anywhere. Of course you do know that you can unpack 20 boxes , but the ones you didn't unpack will be holding the items you need before you dash out the door.

God is so good and we are very thankful and grateful for our family!
Congratulations to Nathan, Colette, Annika and Ainsley!!

We love you more!!!!!!!!
