We've made a lot of progress in the living room by putting together the Billy shelves (after assembling five of them I think I could do it in my sleep), and by loading them up with all of my wonderful books that have finally been unpacked!
We still need to get a few things to add to these shelves (maybe some fun wire baskets for the bottom shelves in the centre) and probably move things around a bit so it isn't just a wall of books, but adding them to this room instantly made it feel like home and a whole lot more cozy. Next step for the shelves is to get some MDF to create a uniform top and some moulding to make it feel like a built-in!

| In progress - it's a great start, but we'll need to add some trinkets and perhaps some art on the walls to bring it all together! |

Add to the fact that being so close to Grama and Grampa means that Mummy and Daddy are able to have more time to themselves and have a more balanced life, and we are all very happy that we made this move. Just this morning over breakfast we were talking about how much happier Emmy is and I really do think it's because she picks up on however her Mum and Dad are feeling. If we are stressed, she becomes stressed. If we are sad, she too has a sad day. But when Mummy and Daddy are happy, lighthearted and filled with whimsey and adventure, she is too.
