Arielle finds new photo opportunities

Arielle had to rise early for this shot
Arielle, has found some great things to photograph at our new house. Our house backs to a small lake(they call it that, I would say a small pond) While we can't swim, boat or fish in this lake it does draw in some wildlife. So, I am sure there will be many more photos.

Friends





We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our life. We hired a company to move our big furniture but we had plenty of boxes! So, on Saturday these wonderful friends showed up to help. Joanne, brought delicious chocolate chip cookies to share and she jumped in and started packing up the things we had left out. The rest of the gang moved boxes from one house to the truck, then into the new house. They were fast and good! We couldn't have done it without them. I didn't think about taking pictures until the last minute so there is one person missing from the pictures. Gary, gave us his morning then in the afternoon he went to help lay floors at another friends house. Thank you to everyone!

We have moved

Well after 8 years of living in Chesapeake, we decided to make it our permanent home base! So we took the plunge and bought a house. I never knew how much work it was!. We spent 2 weeks cleaning and painting just a few rooms, still many more to go. Then came the big move. We have too much stuff. Right now we are in the middle of boxes upon boxes! But we did have new floors laid in the entire downstairs and I have my list of future home improvements. The list is VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY long.
So here are a few pictures. As soon as we get settled I will take more.
