Moving

We've moved! Hats off to anyone who has ever moved with 4 young children! It is quite the feat, and one I am glad to have almost over with. It turned out that our basement actually wasn't completely done before we moved in. So everything that should be in the basement is still in the living room and we're still working on organizing and unpacking the last few boxes. Besides the unpacking, we are loving it here. The boys are having so much with their new neighborhood friends. It is the friendliest neighborhood I have ever known! About six families have dropped by to introduce themselves and welcome us to the neighborhood. It has been great.

I also have to give a huge thank you to all who helped us in this overwhelming task. Callie babysat my kids so Nate and I could go paint. Heather came over with her teenagers who watched my kids while she helped me pack - she packed my entire kitchen! Kaylee and Amy made meals for our family while we were in transit. A whole slew of men from church came and helped us load the truck, Babs and Kaylee showed up with them unexpectedly to help me clean. And then another whole slew of men from our new church came and helped us unload into the new house. Men we had never met. The church is amazing, I seriously don't know how I would get along without it. We appreciate all the help so much - thanks everyone!


I don't have too many pictures. There are a few more in the previous post. I could say "I'll post more later" but I'm going to say, you'll have to come visit us to see more :)




With their toys in boxes, the new washing machine provided some much needed entertainment!



I took these last two pictures for myself in case I ever get the feeling that I want to move again!
