Thank YOU!!!

The past 2 and a half weeks have been crazy but I wanted to post an update and send out a huge THANK YOU to all of our family members that have helped us tremendously with our new house.

Juliet's grandparents and aunts came to Toronto throughout the past 2 weeks to help out with getting the house in shape.  No job was too small - they cleaned walls, painted, cleaned toilets (yuck!), filled holes, folded packing paper, raked leaves, installed ceiling fans and light fixtures, removed window coverings, scrubbed washing machines, and so much more.  And they also babysat and amused Juliet while Leo and I attempted to get stuff done. 

The house isn't ready for primetime yet, but it's in a lot better shape than when we first moved in.  We've only painted a couple of rooms (Juliet's and the master bedroom) but with new carpets installed, some much needed cleaning, and some new light fixtures and switches, the house is looking a lot more modern.

Juliet has been really good throughout this transition.  She's been really happy and smiley almost all the time (she only gets cranky when tired or hungry).  Her sleep patterns are totally off, but that's understandable given our lack of routine lately.  We haven't put her crib back together yet so most of the night she ends up sleeping with us in our new kingsize bed (!), but we'll need to do sleep training again once she's back in her crib in her own room.

And now, here's what you came to this blog for - the pictures:

Oma cleans the kitchen cupboards while watching over Juliet.  I think Oma went through 4 boxes of magic erasers!

Old carpet - yuck!

New carpet - yay!

Last night in the condo before we moved - Grandma came to help watch Juliet while we packed and supervised the movers the next day.

Juliet gives Oma a big wet kiss in her new room.

Juliet flies with her Aunt Paula.  Weeeeeeeeeeee!

Grandpa takes down some ugly curtains in the guest bedroom.

Grandpa and Juliet bask in Chris's handiwork (he installed the chandelier).

What?  What's going on here.  I didn't take this picture.  Apparently when I wasn't looking, Oma and Leo gave Juliet some wine.

Juliet and her dad on the staircase.  I think she likes her new home!
