Wow - where do I start? We received our keys on Thursday at 1pm, here is a picture of us after we got the keys in the sales office, Caleb is about to sneeze.
When we walked in the door they had provided paper towels and softsoap for the kitchen and toilet papers in the bathrooms! I was very thankful.
We went to work right away painting the garage and Jared's office. Meanwhile, Jared and GGrandpa "Cookie" put up the garage door opener. I worked on sealing the large amount of tile in our house. GGrandma "Cookie" watched Caleb and feed him goldfish, she had to literally feed him b/c his hands were so dirty from playing in the dirt.
Saturday was our moving day and we were grateful to have help!! Thanks to Mimi and Papa Jim, the McAvoy's, the Quaresma's, my dad and gg cookie!! We tried putting Caleb to work but that didn't help so we sedated him instead.
Mark in all his glory...
Lunch time...
Since then we have been franctically unpacking as much as we can, we are about half way. Jared finished putting up most of the window treatments and things are slowing coming together. So far there is only one room complete, the guest bathroom...
Doesn't it look inviting, your own toothbrush holder and all! Come on down or up, hope to see you all soon! (but not too soon, unless you want to work :)
He was also introduced to croquet (which he called golf for the first half of the day).
We tried doing fireworks at the end of the day but Caleb was not a huge fan of the loud ones so he watched from inside the house. Here is a picture of most of us...
Hope you all had a great 4th of July!
The McAvoy's also came down to see everyone and celebrate my birthday. Mark made "camp" donuts for us. For some reason instead of a cake I wanted some home made donuts - they were good but they didn't taste the same as my mom's recipe (of course that was a long time ago!).
We went to our local Zoo where Sarah got us both in free! It was only $2 to feed the girafees so she took the opportunity while we looked on. Did you see how long the tongue is? It was interesting how the girafee starting to linger around the feeding spot just mintues before feeding time began. 
We had such a great time but they still aren't anxious to move to Fresno anytime soon. Oh well, we'll keep trying!
Jared noticed this humming bird dutifully sitting on it's nest most of today. We are hoping he/she will be around for a while so we thought we should name it. Any name suggestions you would like to share?
The cabinet doors are self closing and inside the right and left cabinets on the bottom there are pull out drawers. The top has a false back, the middle will fit our tv and the middle right our components. This picture does not do justice....you will have to come and see it for yourself :)
