Andersen Antics: We're Moving! The New House

So, we've got a new spot and we just love it! It's such a perfect place for our family. We've been working like crazy to put on a new coat of paint and update the flooring. Then the moving begins!

The previous owners have been such a blessing to us through this whole process. They are amazing people have been showing us how to take care of everything and helping us get it ready. Our kids and their grandkids have gotten to be friends through it all. They have introduced our kids to all the neighbor kids. Neighbors have been coming and welcoming us, it's been so fun! God's been very good! He knew what He was doing bringing us here - it's worth the wait we had to endure!

Mom & Dad M have also been a HUGE help. Mom's been up all week to help and spent every night painting until all hours of the night. We've also be grateful for all the friends who have stopped by and helped out when they could - we've felt very loved! We've made great progress - finally the painting is done! The kids have just been exhausted - they've been with us working at the new house and playing outside, swimming, exploring, catching frogs, finding baby mice and birds and even a baby skunk (at the neighbor's thank goodness). They've finally learned to sleep in with all the late nights, fresh air and activity in the great outdoors. The new place gets an exuberant two thumbs up from all the kids!

The moving begins tomorrow - Dad M gets into town tonight to help with the heavy lifting and lots of friends are coming to help too. We are so grateful for all the help and support. :)

Here's some pictures before we started making changes. I'll post some "after" pics soon.
