We’ve got some serious moving in progress going on. We’re not sure when we’ll be able to check in again (heck, we’re not even sure what time we’re closing this afternoon- assuming it doesn’t get bumped to Tuesday) but we’ll stop in with more pics and info as soon as we can.
Until then cross your fingers that my ceramic animal menagerie makes it to the new house in one piece and that we actually get to move in this afternoon as planned. We do plan to post some empty house pics of our first home (we figure you guys need closure just as much as we do) and of course share pics and even a quick video tour of the new house all empty and Petersik-ready when we finally get a moment and have internet access again.
Let the adventure/chaos/tears/joy/excitement/insanity begin!
Psst- Check out Clara’s weekly picture (also snapped on the packing box background) here.
Amanda says
Clara’s little feet and legs look cold. That baby girl needs some britches.
Sorry that is the mama coming out in me. Hope everything is going well!
Sara @ House Bella says
So exciting! Thinking of you guys as you move!
Pamela says
Congratulations…and Good Luck!
amy good house says
Good luck! Sometimes closings can be a trying experience, but try to enjoy yourself even if it doesn’t go through today. It is common to have little delays during this process. After our closing last year we had to wait 4 hours to have access to the house, since the bank was waiting for the funds to be wired into the sellers account. Wah wah.
Best of luck to you and can’t wait to see your updates!
ESBlondie says
She is too cute! Happy moving day.
Kiran says
Aww… Clara is super adorable :) love the pic.
Good luck with the move!
Mana says
Good luck with the move!! Thanks for thinking of us, I definitely need some closure on your move!!!
Renae says
Waiting with bated breath to see the photo in your banner change…good luck with everything! Thinking about all of you!
Hugs,
Renae
P.S. At least Clara can’t talk yet. Owen said to me on one of the first days we were moved this summer, “Mommy, I want to go home.” I said (as calmly as possible) “Honey, we are home.” His bottom lip pouted out, “I mean our other home.” I can cry right now just thinking about it. Okay, I think I will!
amanda says
Congrats…can’t wait to see what projects your new house brings! Clara is just too cute!
Chelsea says
Between living off of ice-cream and pickels, moving boxes around that weigh more than you, and the sheer anxiety of bank loans going through, I’m gonna guess you will lose a good 5lbs like I did when we moved last year. (Not that you need to, but it is an added bonus!) Buen Suerte!
Monika says
thinking of you on your moving day
:)
Taylor @ thehouseonpennylane says
Congrats and good luck guys! I know how exciting/stressful this time is. I can’t wait to see new empty house pictures!
Amy says
I was thinking about you guys and your move today when we got that surprise snow this morning! Hope that didnt hold you up any!
Hally says
While I’m sensitive to your situation. Internet access is just a McDonald’s or library away!!! LOL
kelly ann says
SO LAME, but i totally woke up this morning and went, “AH! It’s Pesternik (sp?) move in day!” Can’t wait to see PICTURESSSSSSSSS!
Miranda says
I think the cardboard moving box is a great substitute to fabric this week! I hope you guys have (had?) a great and easy closing and your move is quick and painless!
kate says
Good luck! Hope all goes well, and can’t wait to see all the wonderful projects you guys will have in store for us in the coming months & years ;)
Keri says
Well I hope you guys didn’t get too much snow if you are moving today. I talked to my friend in RVA and she said it was a decent amount of snow. How great on moving day right?!? Anyways.. Congrats and Happy Moving Day!
laxsupermom says
Good luck with the move. Can’t wait to see all the new house projects.

Kaitlyn says
Good luck! Hopefully the move is as stress-free as possible!
Sascha says
Wishing you all the best for moving day – I am so incredibly excited to see pictures of your new place!! :)

It is good to know you guys are human!!
The people who could blog during child birth have their limits!
good luck
Stacy says
Best of luck!
Jules says
So cute! I am so excited for you guys. I can’t wait to see the new home–you’d think it was my own with how anxious I am!
Gina @ Temporary Nest says
OH wow how EXCITING! I’m impressed you even posted this one!! Cant wait to see the newbie! :)
Elizabeth says
Congrats! Wishing you a smooth move. :)
MaryAnn says
So excited for you guys. I thought of you today while I was shopping at Barnes and Noble. They have a Jonathon Adler line of stationary and office supplies…very chic.
Wendy Burkhardt says
Happy Moving Day to you! Hope all is going well.
JoDi says
It’s almost 9:30 on the East Coast. Here’s hoping you’re all moved in by now and having a celebratory glass of champagne and some pizza with your family! :)
Christine aka The Stampin' Ninja says
Would it be lame to say that I am SO super excited and a bit emotional for you guys? I mean, we don’t know one another officially but I feel as though we do through your amazing writing on this blog. YOUR blog is what sparked my interest to want to blog so long ago (note I said “interest” – I still haven’t gotten around to it…) and I’ve watched your house through an amazing transformation as well as Sherry and your family go through an amazing transformation – in THAT house! And now you’re moving…
So yes, I am uber excited because I am sure the new house will be just as fab if not, dare I say it, more than the first and I can’t wait to see all the DIY loveliness that you two (ok, ok you 4 – I love me some Burger and Clara!) put into it. But I am a little sad to “see” you leave your first house.
LOVE the picture of Clara on the moving box (can I puh-lease, pretty please have a picture of Burger in a moving box? Please?) and can’t wait to see pics and video of the new “Casa de Petersik”!
Hugs to you all!

Harinee says
Are we(ok, I mean you:) there yet?!
heyruthie says
i’m officially a groupie: I’m checking on y’all WAY after my usual computer time, while breastfeeding my baby! i’ve been thinking about you guys all day!
Jenny says
All the best!
You guys sound like you have it all together. Even if you don’t get in the house tonight it’ll be just as exciting tomorrow! :)
CBToepfer says
Good luck with the move you guys! And check out this video…thought of your weekly photos of Clara bug when I read this! Something I hope to do with our future children!! =)

Alison says
Good luck Petersik Family!! Can’t wait to hear back from you guys…hope everything gets there in one piece!
Emily says
Good Luck! Anxiously awaiting pics of the new house! :-)
YoungHouseLove says
Wahoo! We’re in. And we’re exhausted. Thanks so much for all the thoughts and encouragement guys. We heart you. Like for reals.
We hope to share empty old house and new house pics (and all the juicy deets) as soon as possible. Gotta get our bearings and settle the bean and the pooch in first though. Thanks for standing by!
xoxoxoxo,
s (& j & c & b)
Wendy G says
I was thinking about you guys today! I hope you had a very smooth closing! Can’t wait to see pics!
Elaine Huckabay says
I just looked at the clock, realized it was 10:30pm EST, and wondered what you crazy kids were doing in your new house. I wouldn’t be surprised if walls had already been torn down and the second coat of paint is drying in the living room. :) So happy for you guys!
Stacey says
Hope all went/is going well! When I woke up and saw the snow I must admit that I thought of you guys…right after I went “Wow! It’s so beautiful!” It’s another memory that’s being made!
Jamie B says
Your website bandwidth is probably going to go through the roof as we all check obsessively for updates … lol, CAN’T WAIT. Good luck, I hope it goes smoothly!
Betsy says
good luck with the move,guys! I’m looking forward to all the great ways you’ll give this new house your unique touch :)
(in other words: more DIYs, organization tips, and before and after pics :D yeay!)
Jane says
Ugh- that is the worst feeling. I hope you’re done and in your new home now.
Julie says
Yay! You’re in! I am so excited for the four of you. What a day!
RAD says
Congratulations!!! all the best in your new home. Take care…
Vea says
Congrats you guys! I’m sure you’re excited as much as all of us, your biggest fans! :)
Harinee says
Congratulations!
Jacqui Bee says
I’m so happy for you. congrats. I have been following your blog for ages now and getting lots of great ideas to help with planning our little old house DIY make over. Just as we were poised to start our first real job- our 1929 kitchen renovation(we thought bringing actual running water into the kitchen might be nice, its only in the laundrey/scullery now) our city (Christchurch NZ)has a big earthquake and our poor wee house will have to be demolished. Now your blog is helping keep me sane by bringing me vacarious DIY fun and you have a whole new house for us to enjoy along with you. Thanks YHL for the therapy :-)
Claire says
Yay! So glad to read the good news that you were able to close today. Enjoy the settling in and congrats on home #2!
