I am Leo . Last month my family moved into a new apartment on Maple Street . The building sits on a quiet corner near a small park with benches and tall trees . The hallway smelled of fresh paint when we first entered the main door on Saturday morning . For two weeks we packed boxes in our old flat and labeled every carton with a black marker . My parents ordered a van and booked the elevator in this building for moving day . Mia and I sorted books and clothes while Dad wrapped plates in paper and taped the boxes shut . The plan looked simple on paper , but moving day always feels longer than expected when stairs are involved . We came to the new address early with two cars full of boxes and soft bags . My dad carried the heavy cartons up the stairs while I checked each label in the hall . Mia brought lamps and small plants from her old room on the third floor of our previous building . The movers left at five in the afternoon . The rooms finally looked empty and ready for our family . We gathered in the living room and looked at the bare walls and clean wooden floor . Sunlight entered through the windows and made the space feel larger than it really is today . Everything seemed new and a little strange , but also full of promise for the months ahead . Mom opened the balcony door and let in cool air from the park below our window . We built our beds before dinner because we wanted a proper place to sleep that night . Dad found the screws in a small bag near the toolbox in the hallway closet . Mia and I held the wooden frames while he worked with quiet focus and calm instructions . The work took an hour . The beds felt strong when we finished and tested each one carefully . Mom prepared sandwiches in the kitchen and heated soup on the stove for a quick meal together . We shared food at a table we brought from our old house and talked about where to place the sofa next week . The bread tasted good , and we enjoyed cold water from plastic cups after a long day of lifting . Later we rested on the floor and listened to music from a small speaker near the window until ten . After dinner I sat on the floor and opened a box of books near the empty bookshelf . I found my favourite novel near the top under a stack of notebooks and old travel tickets . Mia found her sketch pad under some towels and smiled for the first time since morning . We were happy to see familiar things again in an unfamiliar space that would become our home soon . The kitchen clock ticked softly while rain started outside and the city lights appeared one by one . Dad closed the balcony door and checked the lock twice before we relaxed in the living room together . Mom listed tasks for the next morning on a note and pinned it to the fridge with a small magnet . She wanted the first full day in the new home to feel organized and calm for everyone in the family .
