Unpacking the boxes

So we are finally moved in to our house...if I have to unpack one more box
I might just throw-up. Speaking of throw-up...the second day after we moved in Brody & Carter got the stomach flu...yuck! There is nothing like cleaning throw up off the carpet in the middle of the night. Here is a picture of the living room in our house...Layne went out of town for four days a couple days after we moved and I can't tell you how GRATEFUL I am for all the friends & family who have helped us move in....I am so thankful for people who give selfless service....I have really been humbled by all the help we received. It just makes me want to do more for other people.
Here is another picture of our kitchen....just ignore all the 'stuff' on the counters....we had a LONG night with Brody last night...we are trying to get him to sleep through the night..so I was too lazy, or shall I say tired to move it.
What is Christmas with out a picture of our Christmas tree? The boys loved helping decorate the tree....Carter especially loves to take the ornaments off the tree....he likes to put them all over the house.....now back to my TO DO list that is 100 miles long....only 2 more weeks until Christmas, yikes!!

Hi Katie,
I'm so glad you had wonderful people to help you move! That can be so crazy especially being pregnant! By the way Congrats! We are crazy women with all these little ones so close together, but it is so worth it and they will have each other to lean on when they are older (at least that is the plan :-) Thanks for your great comments! By the way, where did you move to? Anywhere by us?
Happy Holidays!
Sarah

I hear ya sister. I hate unpacking boxes. I can't believe how gorgeous your house is already. I've been in my new place for like the same amount of time as you and I still don't have anything hung on the walls. NIce job.

Do you need a home security alarm for your new house? My husband can get you one for free and its like 30 or 40 a month for the service. Let me know. It's the best equiptment out there too.

Glad you are all settled in. Your new house is just as beautiful as your last! Good job unpacking, getting decorated, putting up the Christmas tree, and taking care of sick babies without the hubby in town!

Stewart and Julie Jensen said...

Ok, those boxes make me never want to move. That is why we have not moved in 12 years! How are you feeling? The home looks beautiful. Could you come and decorate for me?
Love,
Jewels

Katie - Wow, how does it feel to be in a new house? We will have to come visit you soon (when you feel more settled, of course). I hope the boys are feeling better! I hope all is well with the new one on the way! You'll probably find out what you're having in a few weeks, right? Can't wait!

Isnt' moving bittersweet. I HATE packing, but LOVE unpacking....and organizing. Not very fun when you're preggs though....I'm finding that nothing is really fun when you're preggs, and have small children to tend to as well. Hope all is well, we'll have to get together. Oh, and your house looks great!

Carlie said...

you have a beautiful home. whereabouts are you now located? we had to push two of our couches together and put the christmas tree behind it so that Conner wouldnt touch the tree or any of the ornaments.

Brooklyn said...

Katie! What the heck! How do you do ALL that! Everything looks so comfy, and beautiful. I love it kaite! Hope everyone is better. :)

Maranda Whittle said...

Hi Katie, I don't know if you remember me, my last name use to be Arrington. We didn't really get to know each other, but I do know that we had drivers ed together and you saved my butt a couple of times, I didn't know what I was doing back then!

Clint, Marianne, Sage, Charlotte, Emery and Ivy said...

Your house looks so cute, like you have been decorating it for years. We've been in our house for almost 3 years now and I still have things I am trying to put together. I need you to rub off on me. Maybe your skills are contagious.
