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. |
