Rearranging

We've lived in this house for 7 months now, and we have nearly another 12 months before we will leave for the next home.  We have felt fully settled in for quite some time now, and it is too early to begin planning the next move.  So maybe we got a little tired of the status quo.

This past weekend we spent rearranging our house.  All three girls now sleep in the same room - on the occasion of Annika turning 21 months old.  They are each thrilled with the new set-up, and so Dave and I are pleased as well.  Annika's former nursery has received our futon and the girl's desk.  It has become a small den, with space to fold out the futon for guests.  This is good news for anyone planning to visit us over the next few months - previous to this change, you would have been sleeping on the sun porch.

The project for this weekend is to rearrange the basement.  That includes getting rid of most of our baby stuff - something I have struggled with in the past.  It also includes setting up an art space with an old table handed down from a friend.

The sunroom (former guest room) has become one of the loveliest sheds you will ever see.  The light is beautiful in there, and it is so comfortable on a nice day - but the bikes and the roller skates and the plant food all need their space, too.
