Our first guests

Mom and Dad W. not only wanted to see our new place, but wanted to help us get settled.  They were intending on coming for Thanksgiving weekend.  After hearing the long list of things that needed to be done asap, they came a few days early.

Mom W. helped me clean the kitchen, unpack all the kitchen boxes and get things organized and put away.  It took us 3 days.

Dad W. tackled the one room that we needed to redo right away: Nathan's room.

We thought it would be a quick update and get we'd move him straight into his new room on moving day.  But, striping the yellow pansy wallpaper was a nightmare.  And there just wasn't enough time for us to get it ready.

Dad spent the week repairing the walls adding coat after coat of drywall filler and then beautiful coats of blue paint that reminded me of the ocean.

Many thanks to my wonderful parents for all the hard work and support!
