Moving Out

It has been a long time since our last post and there is a lot to report.  The last three weeks have been a blur or activities, packing, moving and packing.  I think we have all just been focusing on the "next" activity in order to make it through the craziness.

So in a nutshell ... here is the last three weeks ...

We packed up the old house and moved into the new house.

We started unpacking the new house ... a slow process but much progress has been made over the past few days.

Lily and Jack have finished up soccer for the season.  Both had a great time during the season and plan on continuing in the fall.

We had multiple visits from Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom who were all helpful in the move process.  Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom were movers assistants and helped transport Lily's fragile Barbie Dreamhouse and some Legos.  Grandpa Maurice came through a vacuum cleaner and took a nice walk with Lily this past weekend so they could explore the new neighborhood.  They made an interesting find nearby of a house with two real firetrucks ... I am sure we will be back to visit those with Jack in the next couple of days.

We had a chance to visit with Great Uncle Simon who was in town for a visit.

Marcy had strep throat for a few days - she did not feel well for an entire weekend and Mother's Day was very subdued this year.  We will try again next year!

This past weekend we had a great visit from Aunt Donna and Uncle Stephen who came down this weekend to help us unpack and visit.  They were house guests in a house of chaos but they really helped us bring order to the mess.  They helped us unpack multiple rooms - including many toys.  They helped us organize - the kitchen and garage and linen closet among others.  A patio set was purchased and put together!  Overall, a huge help and much appreciated working visit.

So since we are not all set up, we don't have all our pictures available.  Here are two and we hope to be up and running soon.
