Making Progress

I'm powering through rooms in this house like nobody's business, and feeling quite productive.

I did get a few sad moments when I went in the kids' room, or caught sight of Olin's paci laying by my bed, or was about to wipe down the piano bench and saw these little footprints:

That middle print has all 5 toes fairly clearly outlined. haha. I did not end up wiping these prints off :)

Ev and Uncle Jeff have been taking great care of the kids. Ev told me that they slept through the entire first night, and the second night Olin woke up one time, calling for "Uncle Jeff". (He and Uncle Jeff must be forging some strong bonds this weekend!)

The boys are sharing Didi's Ikea twin. Poor Didi and Mal have been displaced all over the house.

Suckers, and smiles. Their cute feet.

Back at 48 Vista Court...

I've got the bookshelf somewhat close to how I want it. I really had to look on Houzz to get an idea of how to make bookshelves look decent. 

This dining room was packed with boxes forever. This was earlier today, and now the boxes are pretty much gone. Woohoo!

The living room is coming together. We need wall hangings desperately. It's looking pretty bare. I've got magazines laid out in a very deliberate fashion: Time and National Geographic up front and center, and my less-than-intellectual magazines (People and US Weekly) tucked neatly underneath!

 

This photo isn't all that impressive looking, but our office was in shambles. It is now clean, and organized! (and has indentations all over the carpet. haha)
