There has been quite a lag between these blog posts. So here is a teeny bit, with pictures!

The move

Angela & Guillaume finally moved!

On July 30, the packers came to pack everything. Angela and Guillaume didn't think they had a lot of stuff.

They were very surprised at the end of the day at all the boxes.

Angela finally found someplace to sit.

On July 31, the movers came early in the morning, and started to load the truck. Guillaume was the boss. (This is at the new place.)

Meanwhile, Angela met Vas & Sal at the new apartment, where the newly polished floors gleamed. They were all afraid to walk on it because it looked wet.

Vas & Sal cleaned the kitchen.

Sal: Here, take this.

Vas: No, I'm done cleaning. I want to play with the little Vespa.

Everything started to come into the new apartment, and they all tried to keep up with unpacking the boxes.

But there were too many.

Vas & Sal stayed until 6:30 that night, unpacking and hanging clothes and cleaning. Angela & Guillaume stayed up until 11:30 unpacking the kitchen boxes and trying to decide where to put things.

The next morning, Saturday, Angela's mom arrived to help. She started by cleaning the oven and then moved to the countertops. Then Angela & Guillaume gave her a ride home at around 3:00 in the afternoon, because she was taking some things that Angela & Guillaume won't use (including a little tv!).

On Sunday morning, Angela & Guillaume woke up early to an almost-completetly-unpacked home. They finished unpacking the boxes. Some things, they weren't sure what to do with, so they left those boxes alone. It may be a while before those get unpacked.

But one thing Guillaume was sure to unpack. Yes, the Playstation 3!

On Sunday afternoon, they drove to Logan Airport to greet the Rousseaus! They arrived at around 4:00 in the afternoon. There were too many people, and too much luggage, to fit in the car, so they split up. Guillaume and Guy took the car, and Angela took the rest of the family in a taxi. Some day Guillaume will learn how to get home from the airport.

Gros bisous!

Slowly...

It is a lot of work to renovate a bathroom. There is so much to do, from the inside out!

From the inside, a look at where the old mirror was and the lights:

And now, the new lights above where the new mirror will be (you can just see the top of the hole in the wall at the bottom):

This is after the demolition of the wall in between the closet and bathroom, and the doorway between the bathroom and hallway:

And this is the new doorway framed in. The closet door is on the left, and the bedroom door is on the right:

The apartment is being painted right now. There will be more pictures here soon...

Angela & Guillaume are Homeowners

On Tuesday, June 30, 2009, Angela & Guillaume purchased their little piece of the American Dream.

And today, they demolished it...

WOW! Incredible what someone can do in less than 6 hours!

De la banque!

It's the biggest day today!

Guillaume is on his way to the bank to get a big fat check. Angela is drinking coffee in bed. She feels she should be doing something more...
