My girl is all "growed-up" (sniff!)

There are always defining moments that make you realize how quickly..in the blink of any eye, it seems, your children have become adults.

Getting their license, going to college, the first job, the first apartment, and now..it's
THE FIRST HOUSE.

My oldest girl moved into her very first house this weekend.
Bought and paid for (well, via a mortgage!) by the hard work of her
and her soon-to-be-hubby, Dan.

They are both sooooo excited.
It's a cute yellow cape, ironically located....on the CAPE!

7am Saturday found us on the road, soon crossing over the Bourne Bridge, en route to help Lyndsay and Dan with the big move.

We actually beat the truck by a few hours, so we occupied ourselves with greeting the cable guy and doing some house cleaning.


With the help of Mom and Dad, sister and brother, and a best friend...all of their possessions were moved from their apt in Boston to the new house in about 12 hrs start to finish.
.

The weather cooperated and we got everything moved in by dark.

Joe was a workhorse...helping to move them OUT of their apt in the morning, and then turning around and moving all of the stuff into their new house in the afternoon.
Lyndsay and her friend Kali set up the pantry and the kitchen....

While it took 3 guys to figure out the TV!

But soon after, the couch was moved into the room, and we finally had a place to sit and rest our weary bones.



As the final dishes were loaded into the cabinets, Dan and Lyndsay (with help from Joe) made a thank you supper for us...delicious cast iron grilled burgers, dogs, salad and roasted vegetables.
I am looking forward to many more of these :)

Congratulations, Lyndsay and Dan.
I am so proud of you both.

And so proud of your brother and sister who went above and beyond to help their sister.
Love you all.
