Movers and Shakers

Summer of 2010 was nuts. it started off with a BANG!

moving... again.

after returning from Sydney (see previous video), we closed on our new place in chicago (our new address for those that don't have it below), moved 5 days later, celebrated stella's 4th birthday at fantasy kingdom, then i went to nyc for a week for work.

needless to say, susan is supermom/wife/real-estate tycoon/packer/unpacker/chef/nanny/maid... etc. etc. you get the idea. she did it all while i was away in sydney (there for work from may 3 to may 13). she met with contractor, made final decisions on all interior items (paint, flooring, kitchen cabinets, backsplash, etc), provided final bank documentation, dealt with each and every phone call and decision, all while i was 13 hours ahead and the kids needed to be fed and bed.

upon my return on may 13, we closed the following day on may 14. we packed our old home on may 15 and 16. the movers arrived on may 19. we celebrated stella's birthday on saturday the 22nd and i left for new york on sunday the 23rd. i returned on monday, may 31.

NUTS. but worth it :) so this video (edited entirely on flights) is in honor of our new home:
