A Week in Pictures

Over the packing, moving and unpacking weeks I thought of several interesting things to blog about. But unlike Crazy Sister, I am not good with the pencil and notebook thing, so I've forgotten it all. Typical. Instead, here are some pictures to show what we've been up to.

The last morning in our old house, and some pics that Sonny took outside:

The Packing:

This was the bit that I hated, all OCD-75% of me:
(Yes, I let a MAN pack my car! That is why the grass-encrusted whippersnipper was an inch away from the clean pizza trays - poor things were left in the oven until after the packers had gone. But bless his heart for packing the car for me.)

Empty

Sleeping at Grandma's:

The beginning of the FIRSTS: our new home! And of course, the unpacking:

How a 75% OCD woman coped. Put the mugs together, flatten the packing paper into little piles, label the boxes nicely:

First dinner together as a family in our new home ... just about to head off to EASTERFEST (formerly the Australian Gospel Music Festival - now we live in the town where it's held):

The 'smile' of The Startled:

The best vantage point when you're four and you're exhausted:

What Daddy could see:

And kept coming back to see:

Smoochy Girl's second birthday!

The cupcakes were not as much a success as Sonny's cupcakes a few weeks ago:

It's fun starting all the new firsts. Although I still don't feel I was "done with" Ipswich and ready to move, I hope that the happy memories there will fade pleasantly and these new memories will continue to be made.
