| Here everyone is looking at the blue van after it just died in the driveway. |
| The big van loaded down with furniture and no seats! so thankful we didn't have to rent a u-haul especially after having car repairs necessary for the blue van. |
| Kara taking a break out back, see the new steps. |
| Derrick planning out his entertainment center lay-out. |
| Trying to charge the battery on the van, this wasn't the only problem unfortunately! |
| Stephen,Ruby, Adam, Amy & Zach taking a break and playing some ipod games. |
| Ellen, looking a little tired after getting up at 4 a.m. Sat. to make the trip with her Dad, see how lovely the dining room looks with the furniture he brought. |
| This is a piece of furniture Grandpa brought from his brother's house for Kara to have, it matches so perfect with all her woodwork. |
| The living room |
| Derrick's entertainment center, has some staining to do on it yet, but it's functional. |
| There are lovely built in bookshelves on both sides if a place for a woodburner in the living room. |
| A touch of Disney, of course! |

| This buffet piece was from Kara's great grandma, it looked great in the dining room! |

| Another gift from Dad. |
