Moving Day

Yeah!!! Hooray for Internet connection and being able to blog again. Although, I am blogging from what is apparently my new office (at least until we figure out a computer situation), which happens to be the cold concrete floor in the unfinished basement. I can't get my laptop to upload pictures unless I am sitting next to the router down there. I am going way back, to Friday two weeks ago and blogging our adventures from the beginning.

We were blessed with incredible movers this time around. Ricardo Sr. and Ricardo Jr. were a father and son team from Houston they worked on both ends and drove the truck here, and they had an additional hired day helper on each end. It was nice to have our stuff in the hands of hard workers who took great care in doing their job well and were sweet to our girls! They worked fast and came in last Thursday to pack our entire house. Friday morning they were back to disassemble furniture and load the truck. I tried to keep the girls out as much as possible, as it was pretty hazardous for them, but they had a great time playing in boxes and exploring the truck while they were there.

Gracyn spent the week prior to our move and then 2 weeks after feeling bad. You can tell from most of the pictures that she just doesn't feel great. Add sickness to the overall confusion of having your entire home packed up and she had a tough time!

That is one big truck. One other family was already loaded in. They left filled to the brim!

For some reason they were thrilled to get the rental car, after my car was picked up.

Poor Gracyn, she napped on the floor after they had packed up her mattress.

We spent the afternoon at our neighbors house having a playdate. Tommy was worried we would be too sad, so he didn't even give us a chance to say good-bye to the house. We left our playdate (the last one Boo-hoo) to find the house locked-up and the car loaded and ready to go. We followed the truck off of the Circle for the last time and headed to spend the night with the Neufelds. We were excited for one last slumber party before we left. We ate dinner, let the girls play and then set up pallets for them in the theatre room.

Addison and Gracyn snuggled up. At one point during the day I thought the movers had accidently packed Gracyn's "Baby Lanie". I was headed out the door to American Girl for a replacent when we found her. There was no way she was going to make it a week without her.

Gracyn loved having this blow-up bed at the end of our bed. She thought she was so big! We got some precious video of her getting herself ready to sleep. Poor girl was feeling a little yucky when she went to bed and then woke up with 104.7 fever!

We woke up bright and early the next day, so we could get to our last Colorado birthday party and they could head out to ballet class.
