Moving

Phew! - I am glad that moving is over......for now anyway, I will be really glad once we are in our new house. We moved over 2 days, which wasn't quite long enough...we worked up until the last minute. Good thing we had been taking small loads in the van to the storage unit for a few days. We had some help from church and Jared's dad. The kids hung out and played with what they could. They all wanted to 'help' a little too. They loved the big moving truck and especially running up and down the squeaky ramp - Ugh! Moving in the rain is not fun! It rained for both days. Sometimes a sprinkle, sometimes a downpour. We have our things spread between 3 places now - storage, Jared's parents house and their business. I think we have found most of the necessary stuff for now. The kids are adjusting well, but bedtime is proving to be more and more difficult most nights. I know the move has been hard on them too so I'm trying to be patient but it's hard. We are grateful to Jared's parents for letting us stay with them, I just hope we don't wear out our welcome too quickly. In the week we have been here Eli almost dumped over the file cabinet (4 cabinets high) which knocked an oil lamp off the wall and spilled almost of gallon of yummy vegetable soup from the fridge 'trying' to get it out himself. Pictures from our move.
Liam eating lunch while we worked - poor kid was contained somehow for 2 days straight so he wouldn't get hurt. He's glad he gets to roam now.

Contained again
Piles of stuff everywhere
More stuff - we got rid of a lot but we were still amazed at how much stuff we had. Living in the same house for 7 years and adding 3 kids while in that house can do that I guess.

Eli, the moving truck & the squeaky ramp!
Unloading in the rain - miserable!

They have applied for the permits for the new house and once they get those they will get the foundation survey done and start the grading. We will keep you posted through pictures as to the progress of our house. We are so excited. I know I am way behind in posts from the last 2 months. I will try to post that soon.
