Our Empty House

Today after an overly long, ill-planned day of errands, we stopped by our empty new home to eat take-out Chinese by way of celebrating. John had so much fun having complete freedom to run through the empty rooms downstairs. Here is the dining room:
The sellers left behind their many wonderful potted plants, as here in the sun room:

Today we bought one of four area rugs we will be needing. Here John is "helping" Chris and me lay out the rug in the den:

The sellers have been an absolute delight throughout. They went above and beyond making repairs to the home before we moved in. They provided a binder with all the manuals for equipment in the home, extra equipment (such as specialty light bulbs, spare parts for the drip system, matching caulk), all their potted plants, notes on how things work, labels on all cables, and even a diagram of all the surrounding neighbors (who lives where). They even left us a gorgeous bouquet of roses! And today when we picked up the spare keys, we noticed that the key ring is from our parish, which makes us think the sellers are likely our same faith and members of our parish! What a small world.
