Moving Parts

We have so many 'moving parts' in this move.  The kids and me flying north, Chris driving up, the two other cars being towed, and everything else packed in a moving truck.  It's been somewhat frustrating waiting around for everything to arrive.  I just want to get organized and settled. I'm excited today will be the day!  

The cars will be delivered to my parent's garage this morning and the moving truck should be arriving at my parents house this morning as well.  Then the challenge of sorting through boxes and bringing the necessities to Boston with us.  For those of you who don't know we will be in a fully furnished apartment there.  It will be a very nice transition.  We will store most of our possessions {For free!  Payment will be in the form of the occasional visit with grandchildren in tow} in my parent's basement until we find a more permanent place to live. Will we ever be anywhere permanently?  'More permanent' is what I will go with for now. 

I think I am just now {beginning} to realize this move is actually happening.   Freak out moment coming soon! 

Very happy to have Chris here.  He had a long drive and, of course, I was worried about him until he pulled in my parent's driveway.  We had a lobster {lobstah} roll, strong beer, and Red Sox shirt waiting for him.  He was exhausted, but very happy.

Christian is a challenge to dress.  As many of you know, he prefers to go pant-less, even if it's cold out.  I'm sure he will appreciate this picture one day, battling the evil villains at Meme and Papa's with his TMNT shell squirt gun. 

I can't get enough of this little girl.  Her smile is too much!

Cuddling up for a show

Time to get ready for moving day part II!  Moving is always a stressful event, but I have to say, the {physical aspect} of this move has been much easier and less stressful than our past moves.  Probably has something to do with the fact that I am not pregnant or in labor {Charlottesville to Charlotte}, or caring for a newborn {Jacksonville to Charlottesville}.  Also, a special thanks to both sets of grandparents, we really couldn't have done it {sanely} without these wonderful people.  Grandma and Grandad chasing after the kids while we finished up our packing in Charlotte and Meme and Papa for their help here.

Thankful for grandparents and their help!
