Backdated post- August 15, 2010: I get by with a little help from the fam

I get by with a little help from the fam

We didn’t do a ton of baby stuff this weekend, but we did get a TON done for the upcoming move. We spent Friday packing until Fran and Dov came around 10. We showed them the new house, but it was dark so we didn’t spend a ton of time there. Plus, I was beat so we went back to the condo and crashed.

On Saturday they went to temple in the morning and David and I moved a lot of the kitchen items into the new house (pots/pans, dishes, glasses, tupperware, etc). In the afternoon, the bedroom furniture was delivered and assembled. It's beautiful, thank you Fran and Dov!
Then Mikey came over and he and David went to Costco and bought a mattress and box spring while Fran and I went to Bed and Bath for a few small items. Mike and David also brought a lot of David’s wine to the new house and we packed up some more boxes in the condo before going to Chinese for dinner. Yum!

Sunday we got shelves for the pantry and finished the kitchen, brought over breakables and the ketubah as well as some of our bathroom stuff. We never had THAT much room in the old kitchen so it’s been fun to open some of the things I got for my bridal shower that I haven’t been able to use yet. It was so much fun to unpack and open new bowls, platters, baking gadgets and tools! Plus, we found out that my yellow plates kinda match the old school yellow kitchen- bonus!
It also must be said that if you need to pack or ship something- Dov is your man. Awkward sized bowl? Wrap it in a towel. Need to move some cups? Here, pack them stacked like this. Not sure how to transport an item? He is! I don't know if it's practice from finding a way to get home all the items Fran has picked up on various vacations or maybe its just something one is inherently good at- either way, it was incredibly helpful. So Thanks Dov!!!


Dishes, etc (and the awesome yellow 1960's range)

We are going to keep packing all week and then the plan is to spend Friday night in the new house before the movers come Saturday AM. I. Am. So. Excited.
