Here it is ... the (almost) finished product. As you can see, we still need grass. We closed on the house on October 26th which was two weeks ago. The following day was full of excitement ... movers unloading our PODS, new bedroom furniture delivery, new mattress delivery, the Directv install, and Laclede Gas locking out our meter followed by tracking down a plumber to verify there was no gas leak resulting in him busting the lock off (which I think he took pride in doing). Just your normal moving day!
Just in case you've never seen a PODS container loaded or unloaded on the delivery truck, here's a picture of ours. Those things are pretty cool and came in handy for all of our belongings. In total, we had three of them full of our junk ... which I am so happy to have back!
The apartment we rented was furnished and very nice for a short stay, but you just don't realize how much you like your own stuff. Sitting on my couch after the movers brought it in was like heaven.
Unfortunately, I didn't take any inside pics when the house was empty. I guess I was just too excited with the walk through and closing to think about it. I'm not posting any now, because it's still a mess with boxes. Give me a little more time to unpack and clean it up. It won't be too long since I'll want to put the Christmas tree up on Thanskgiving weekend.
So, that's the house update. We're in, we love it, and life is getting back to normal. Right after move-in weekend, Halloween was here. We did some trick or treating in our neighborhood with Henry's friend, Nathan, along with his parents and some other neighbors. Our part of the subdivision is still pretty empty so we only hit a few houses which is still plenty of candy for the little guy. Here's how absolutely adorable he looked dressed as Woody from Toy Story.
Did I say things were getting back to normal? Well, they are ... in addition to preparing for a new baby! Yes, we're pregnant and due to have another little Singler at the end of May. We're all pretty excited ... including Henry. At first, he said "no baby." Now, he's decided he wants a baby brother so they can be like his favorite cousins, Robbie and Adam. It's very cute. We won't know until sometime in January if Henry will get what he wants, but we'll let everyone know as soon as we find out.
Well, I just wanted everyone to know that we're still around. We really didn't have anything to post while we were at the apartment and the move to the new house has kept us busy. I'll get those inside pics up as soon as some boxes disappear. Hope everyone is well.
I'm working on those change of address/phone cards too. Maybe I'll get them out before it's time for Christmas cards!!
