Our Last Move

The last time our family moved was back in 2006. It’s fun to look back at old pictures from when we first moved and see how things have changed around here in the past 6 years. *Please excuse some of the clutter in the pictures. Moving is a time when the house is definitely unorganized. J*

 
The prior owners of our home hadn’t touched the landscape in about two years. We had our work cut out for us, and we were very thankful that my Grandparents came to help.
This is what it looked like back in September of this year. We’ve tried to keep up with it. Having 7 pairs of hands makes it a lot easier!
When we first moved, our dining room had Victorian-style wallpaper that was a bit too formal for our casual, crate-style dining room table and chairs.
During our house flood we re-painted the room and put a wood border around the middle.
The boys’ room had Jungle wallpaper around the bottom when we first moved.
Now they have it painted with a dark blue. (See the moving van outside the window?)
Roma and Rubia were able to get a room that matched their style of décor.
But they have re-arranged the furniture since they got bunk-beds.
My room was Tonka trucks. Yes, trucks. It DEFINITELY didn’t match!
I like it better the way it is now!

As you can see, a lot has changed around here since we first moved in! And I’m sure a lot of things will change once we get to our house in Texas.

Our house has changed a lot in the past 6 years, Aunt Noelle! It looked really different this week since it was empty.

I miss you too, but I'm so grateful for your texts, emails, etc. It makes us feel not so far apart! Keep them coming!
