Movin' On Up... to the West Side...

We're on the move... again! We closed on our new house on Friday and we're already pretty far in the moving process (special thanks to Jon's brothers who worked very hard all weekend helping us!)

Violet seems to like the new place. Here she was on Friday having a nice little snack under the chandelier.Jon got started right away building some storage shelves for the basement. He did great and actually got them done in one afternoon!
Saturday I had Violet pack up her backpack (aka "backrak") with some toys and books and we headed back to the new house.She got to have a picnic snack in her own room this time.
She's been taking great naps at the new house, even though she is obviously getting pretty big for her pack n' play! It's also nice to know that she's a pretty heavy sleeper - there were people bringing boxes and furniture in and out of the house, doors slamming, etc. while she slept and she never woke up!
Wait... didn't we JUST do this??
The more time we spend in our new house, the more we just LOVE it! It has so many fun features and so much ROOM! I have been busy cleaning the kitchen. It's obvious that whoever cleaned the house to put it up for sale was sure the new buyers were going to tear out the old kitchen and remodel. Not so much for us! Sooo there has been quite a bit of cleaning that I've needed to do. Which is really okay as it's given me time to figure out where I'm going to put all my stuff! Plus this house has some fun stuff like this lazy susan in the corner (there is a bigger one below, but not quite in that good of shape).
Any idea what these might be for? They are little metal hooks - maybe 4-5 per rack. AND on the potty training front - Violet is doing GREAT! She had her first 100% dry day today. We are SO proud of her! Overnights and naps are still about 50/50 but I feel like we're getting closer... and getting more used to bringing an extra set of clothes with us wherever we go instead of diapers!

I do need to stock up on different stickers for her rewards. She is (amazingly) SICK of her Disney Princess choices!! But they do work. Today she rewarded ME for being potty trained with a Barbie sticker. :)

YAY! The house looks so big - especially Violet's room! Congrats again! I can't wait to see it in person.

Love the house! Maybe the little hooks are for pot holders? That's what we used ours for. OR, they could be for those little fancy teaspoons.
