Moving Day!

We have moved into our house! Praise God, all went very smoothly and it was great to have the four days to get things somewhat in place, and also enjoy ourselves and relax a bit with Cora...... who did very well behind the wheel. Cora likes her new digs, especially the outdoor space and the little nearby playground. Stace and I are thrilled to have so much more room than we've had before, plus an attached garage and NO STAIRS to climb. We're also amazed at the amount of work we have ahead of us. The house needs an awful lot of TLC. We're up for the challenge though.
Somer likes the house too - she likes running around, and finding lots of new places to sleep. When we first moved her into the house, she spent a number of hours hiding withIN the box springs of our bed. But she's happy and at home now, and has only escaped into the yard a couple of times.

This morning, Somer found a disturbing sight - the neighbor cat sauntering around our back yard, acting like he owns the place. He probably does. When we first moved in, the remains of two mice were on the patio, surely left by the black cat. When he spotted Somer, he came straight up to the door and they had a staring contest, both of the cats raising their fur on end.
Here's Cora helping Stace put up the curtain rod in our bedroom. About half the rooms lacked window treatments, including the sliding glass door in our room, which became very bright around 6:30 a.m. Thankfully, the curtains we had in our bedroom in the condo, which we used purely for decoration, are thick enough to block the light. Stace has been busy since we moved in - he had to replace the missing garbage disposal, hang three curtain rods, program new garage door openers and move tons of boxes around.
Cora, having her first nap in her new room. She slept well her first four nights, and then had a bad night on Monday. I'm so relieved to have no one attached to us to worry about anymore, when she's crying in the night. I'm also relieved to have the Internet back and hooked up at home!
