Lots of Unexpected Pics!

Before I say anything about the weekend activities - a big, big thank you to the kids for helping us get settled in the new office! There is no way we could have done it without them! They've been our cheerleader's the whole way and without their help and encouragment this journey for the last number of months would have been a difficult one!

We've moved! I tried getting lots of pics of the two moving days and settling in. Poof! When I downloaded the camera this morning I found lots of extra ones that I didn't take! Wonder where those came from? That's what happens when you leave the camera lying on the counter!

BUT but before we moved in, we had a few extra last things happening around here that were picture worthy! Lacombe Signmasters (Terry and Hans) came and put up a few signs around the building, outside and in!

Moving day(s) were an adventure in themselves. Eric, Brent, Kevin, Becky, Kirstin and Kelsey were all around to load up! The weather was cool and clouds hung in the sky threatening to deposit their contents on our little moving party. BUT it did not snow on our efforts - which was a real blessing since we used nothing but our pick-up and the kid's SUV's. It's amazing how much you can pack into a vehicle! The trip across town wasn't long - but we didn't want to make any more than necessary.




Outgoing loads!


Kelsey - "I can lift that!"



Eric and Kev filling up the truck - first load!


Now to unload!

And of course somewhere along the line there needed to be a break of some sort! Saturday morning Becky and Kirstin did a Tim's run! We were ready for one!



Ah - sitting down!


Wherever you can!


Up goes the clock!


In comes the stove!

A large part of Saturday was spent settling spaces. While that was going on Eric and Peter were getting the computers, printers etc all speaking to one another. Brent and Kevin were down on the main floor replacing hardware on file cabinets. We bought new handles a number of years ago - now was the time to get them installed while the drawers were empty. The sounds travelling up from the board room sounded like they were having their own little party down there! I think that's where a few of the unexpected pics originated! I'm glad they were enjoying the job. Brent is the kind of guy to make work fun.



Sample of the fun stuff!

On Saturday afternoon/early evening I gave Kirstin and Becky a mini painting lesson. After all, the paints were just begging to be used again!



Practicing those strokes!

Maybe if I get my work done today I can take a few pics of the "mostly settled" offices! I'll show those another day!

One more picture to share with you! Peter unlocking the door for the first time to go to work! Office work! And yes - I was there - someone had to be taking the picture - I'm the shadow!
