Here are the first moments of moving in. We were all there for the first hour. Then Frances, Carsten and I oversaw the moving while everyone else went to Seattle for a soccer tournament.

| On the way to the new house for the first time. . . ready for anything. |
 |
| It was the right week to move in. . . all the roses blooming. |
Of course the first thing to do was check out the attic.
 |
| It's a little easier going up the ladder than coming down. |

Here are some "before" pictures of the very empty house. No color yet.
I transported the breakables over the weekend, before the movers arrived.
 |
| Color! |
 |
| These little guys spent a lot of time riding on the tip of my violin bow. Many years ago. Now they live in Bavarian teacups. |
 |
| More color! | |
 |
| These boxes are full of books. All of them except one, which had computer cables and our airport. I had to unpack all the books first so we could find the airport. I never realize how many books we have until they come off the shelves. |
 |
| It's looking a lot less like a formal dining room already. . . |
 |
| David bolted them to the walls. |
 |
| I haven't taken a picture yet, but all the shelves are full now. And no more boxes in the entryway! |
 |
| The books are being put to good use already! Here is Carsten reading Richard Scary to cousin Jacoby. |
