24 Hours Later....

24 hours after moving into their new home, the crew was still busy around the house. Zach wanted Grandma to have a campfire on the back deck.
Rebecca was getting some of her laundry done.

Dad and David were adjusting the spice racks on either side of the stove while Di unpacked kitchen boxes and I vacuumed out the cabinets and drawers.

The rooms are starting to fill up and look more like a home.

Rebecca is learning which light switch goes to which light...there are a lot of them.

After a long day, it was time to eat some pizza, play some cards and enjoy our time together.

Pictures of Today

Dad and Carl cleaned out the truck.


Di and Barb FINALLY sat down to catch their breath. But...they didn't sit for long!

Zach was SO excited early this morning that he wrote letters to Grandma and Grandpa. That was better than waking them up! :)

The Trexlers are moved in and glad to be home. They are very thankful for the people who helped them prepare to leave New York and those who helped them unload in Virginia.

Their adventure truly begins...NOW!

Moving In!

Today was such a beautiful day! Everyone was working hard to get the rest of the truck unloaded, and some of the house organized.

They were even able to return the truck today. Dad thought it might be a few days before it went back, but with such hard workers, it got done quickly.

David and Junior worked on getting the microwave installed today. Last night he got the other appliances installed.

While nearly everything we did today went smoothly, some things were a little more challenging.

In the end, the quilt rack looked perfect. It just seemed to take a long time.

By the way, the Olcotts enjoyed their stay in "Uncle Bruce's Room." They were thrilled to have been the FIRST guests to stay in the house. :)

The Evening They Arrived

Zachary greeted Grandma and Grandpa with Welcome Home signs.

David made a GREAT dinner for all of us. The weary travelers were happy to be out of the vehicles and at their destination.

After dinner, we were going to unload only the appliances and two beds...but instead, the majority of the truck was unloaded. It did make things easier today! :)

"We're HOME!!!!"

It's finally moving day!!! Dad and Di got to Louisa at about 6:40 last night. Carl and Barb Olcott drove the moving truck for them so that they could drive together in the car. The trip took 11 and 1/2 hours...longer than usual due to some HEAVY rain storms.
