Well, we aren't totally moved in. Our stuff is now split between two houses, but we are making a lot of progress and all the BIG stuff is moved....so that's something.
I've been digging holes for landscape like a madwoman. I'm sure I've dug over 100 holes in 100+ degree heat. The plants are pretty stressed and we're using a lot of water to keep them alive.
There are tons of little things still to do inside like, install doorknobs and doorstops, still waiting on a few kitchen cupboard doors to come back from the shop, finish tiling kitchen walls, get closets fitted with shelves and hanging bars, make a bookshelf.....and a bunch of other stuff that makes a house a home. It's kinda like we're "just visiting" because our clothes are in stacks on the floors of the closets and nothing really has a place yet, but it's SOMETHING!! And I'll take it any-day compared to driving back and forth, between houses, multiple times a day.

bringing the big stuff over in the U-Haul and putting the bed back together
We just had the U-Haul for two days, so everything just got plopped in the great room.
Below is a picture I took with my phone of our old house after moving the furniture out. It makes me sort of sad...

After many, many tries at mirrors for the boys' bathroom I finally decided on the plain 4 foot long medicine cabinet. I loved the look of the two different mirrors (below left). In the end, storage was more important than style in this bathroom without cabinets.
It has three mirrored doors that open
