In the 6 weeks prior to moving in, we got central heating and air, new plumbing, new electrical and a new roof. We That was in addition to Aaron's work, which included completely gutting the bathroom, adding a laundry room in the kitchen, replacing a bedroom ceiling and sanding/patching bedrooom walls. By move in day, we had not had a chance to do ANY painting, ANY cleaning or ANY work on the floors.
Major Highlights:
April 30th - we completed the move into our new house
May 1 st - BB (Elise's mom) came to town for a week
May 9th - Nammy (Aaron's mom) came to town for a week
Boy was I happy to have those grandmas arrive and boy was I sad to see them go!
The house was a complete and total mess when we moved in. BB and Nammy cleaned, cooked, took care of Pax, played with Pax....cleaned a lot more...and so much more. It was so incredibly helpful.

Right now, we have a dumpster at the house and are getting rid of the huge demo junk piles that have overtaken our backyard. This will be a huge relief. Last week, Aaron gutted the bathroom and laundry room that were in the garage. He turned this area into storage that will be separate from his workshop (the main part of the garage). I'm excited about all the storage space out there, but I'm MORE excited that it's time for Aaron to come back inside and work more on the bathroom. We have a toilet (with no tank), tile (not yet grouted) on the floor and a bathtub. No sink, no shower, no wall coverings. I am rooting him on to finish this room....quick-like!!!! Then it will be on to painting the bedrooms.
We are so excited about our house and about our neighbors. There are even 2 fellow Memphians on our block.
Pax started his new daycare on may 18th and is doing great. Aaron has been dropping him off and picking him up. On the first day, Pax just marched in there like a big boy to play with his new buddies. There are 5 or 6 kids and all are boys, except one.
Here area few pics from Nammy's visit:
