Moving Day...Home Sweet Home

Eric, Lydia, Elijah, & Haven said goodbye to their cabin that was on Barbara Mandrell's old property when the new owners decided to make the area more of a tourist attraction.

Elijah explored the big U-Haul before he went to a friend's house to play.
It was INCREDIBLE how many people showed up to help!

Matt wore his official moving t-shirt with pride :0) Those days make him very thankful to now be working at summer school.

The truck was no longer empty....

but most of the house was.

Then the work began at the new house. I was amazed at how much was accomplished that day (although it was just the beginning for Eric & Lydia).

Clothes were hung...

Beds were made....

Bookshelves were filled...

And flowers even graced the kitchen window. (By the way, I love how Lydia has an outside view at the kitchen sink!)
One of the best parts of the day was when Elijah and Haven came home. We had a big welcoming party so Elijah would be excited about his new place to live.

He was glad to see his toys :0)

And there's nothing like helping daddy make a big fire!

Just

weeks

All 5 of them!

Their adorable house was FILLED with loving friends, happy to warm their new home!
