The Duffauts in Sweden: Moving day preview of the house...

The movers came yesterday and were here by 12:30 and gone by 5:00. That seemed impossible since they reloaded our stuff from the shipment container to two smaller trucks full of boxes and furniture. But they set up beds and all, just have boxes and boxes and boxes to go through now.

The kids were so excited to find their basketballs and basketball sneakers that got on the truck. Also, Thomas went to work right away with the highest priority project of course...setting up the basketball hoop. There were lots of pieces missing, but Thomas improvised with some tools he unpacked...

The boys were helping Thomas while I was unloading the kitchen. By 9:00 the first baskets were being made!

Then Thomas went down to the basement and Ben followed...Thomas couldn't resist Ben's next highest priority request...putting together the pop-a-shot indoor basketball system. It took Thomas until 11:30,and he was a trooper, but it was worth it because again the boys were thrilled!!!

So happy to see our stuff getting off the trucks and everything looks to be in great condition so far! The most exciting was seeing my new adirondack chairs!!!

(Notice the Weber in the background that made it too:))

More pics of the house (excuse the mess)

What I guess we call a living room

Through the living room is this room...I guess we call a family room (Thomas loves this room bc of all the windows)

Another angle of family room

This can be used as a bedroom in the basement...that while wall is closets, but the kids will use it as a gaming room

Another angle of that room

This is the room popashot is set up in...also doubles as a gym possibly...

Nice size laundry room as well in the basement along with two large storage rooms and three large storage closets b

Moving upstairs...

Small bedroom on the main floor...perfect for guests, hint, hint...

The main foyer to get upstairs...

Approaching the top of the stairs we have a desk to the right...

And put our dresser from our bedroom set to the left since the ceilings in the master are at an angle so the mirror would not have been able to be put up in there...

There is a fireplace in this area too as well as a door leading to a huge balcony. (I believe I have seen people use this space as a family room, but we like it like this for now...
