Moving Day

Wow! What a day. We woke up at my parents home, hurrying to eat and get back over to the house to finish packing and cleaning. When we left we had no plans for the kids or any help cleaning the house. We have been too busy to stop and think about all this. As we got there and was working on getting things done, of course it started to rain as we are trying to move things in the truck. I just hope that there wasn't any damage done, since we had nothing to cover our stuff with. Thanks to our neighbors, the Muffler's we had to take two seperate trips, one needed two people to unload and the other was to pick up the moving truck. She was so helpful to jump right in and watch the kids for us. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
As time went on, we were able to make a phone call and get a babysitter for the kids during the evening time so that we could focus on moving and cleaning. With that phone call we got not only a babysitter, but someone to call for us and get help for cleaning. What a blessing it is to belong to a church who helps and watches over each other, THANKS Korrine! She was awesome, Korrine not only took the kids to watch, she took them to "Little Mr. Biggs" and they both had a time of their lives. It was really a great birthday present for Caleb, since we couldn't celebrate it that day, sad but true. Then Korrine also kept Tyler to spend the night with Zach. They had a great time. Caleb especially LOVED their dog. He would be crawling after him and cry when he went away.
People showed up to help move the boxes and furniture. WOW! There was a lot to move. It was dark when they pulled out to head to the storage unit. On top of that they all stayed to help unload, which put them arriving back at our house to get their cars about 9:45pm. They were amazing! THANKS TO: Bro. Narayan, Blad nad Peterson. I hope they enjoyed their pizza. (Thanks to the Hot N' Ready" $5 Little Caesar's pizza that just opened down the street).
We had three wonderful ladies that came to help clean, THANK YOU to Sister Johnson, Glade and Tippets, they were wonderful to help move out the furniture, clean the rooms and even help pack. Unfortunately other things started gettin gin the way of packing, so it wasn't quite done when they arrived. Sorry, I know it can be a little frustrating when that happens.
So after picking Caleb up and putting him down in a pack n' play, we worked our butts off. We finally drove away from our house at 3:13am. Leaving the house a lot better than when we moved in. We wish the new owners an enjoyable time at our little house.

Oh! Saturday Caleb finally put two and two together and he is now crawling. His favorite thing to do is open and close the doors and drawers. He will crawl to do those things, but not crawl over to me. Do I have a zit on my face?

The closing is set for 1pm at Empire Title Company. The new owners are going to do one last finaly walk-through this morning...hope it goes well! Cross your fingers.
