Mommy and Daddy headed out to the new house on Friday, and started working non-stop over the weekend to get things ready. We're refinishing the hardwood floors, and finishing the attic before our stuff arrives on the moving truck this Friday, and before our beautiful girls arrive over the weekend.
We already miss everyone like crazy, and it was incredibly hard to say goodbye in Pittsburgh. Today we were spoiled with a visit from Grandpop, and got to give him a quick tour of the house. In case you aren't up for the drive to Caldwell, NJ, here's a quick tour (as is) for you too!

hardwood floors in the kitchen?!? sounded great until we ripped up all the floors. ;)
taking a break to enjoy some pizza from one of the MANY local pizza shops:
Katherine is CONVINCED that our house is going to be a "big pink house." With all of our other home renovations, we aren't up for painting the house pink (we also don't think it would help the resale value), so we're considering a little pink play-house instead. :)
Ted and I are still busy busy busy with housework this week while Grambie and Grandpop generously watch the girls in Pittsburgh. We'll post more pictures as we make progress, and can't wait to show you all in person what everything looks like!

I love the house! You will truly feel attached to it after you do all of that work.
Good luck in New Jersey!

Aunt Karen
The house looks fine, but the people in it will be the best part!
Thanks for sharing your girls during this time!
Oceans of love!
Sad to have you guys gone, but congratulations on the new house - so glad you managed to find a place. If you're anything like us, you probably have a million future projects in mind. But the place has a lot of great features already, and a lot of potential. I'm very impressed with how much you're already tackling!
What a nice house! May it be filled with joy and blessings!! and may it be too small to hold all your friends ;-)
oceans of love,
aunt kathy
