Moving...Moved...Almost Unpacked.

Honestly.  The move wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, aside from leaving our dear friends in Illinois.  It breaks my heart everytime Ady asks for Brady, and which house is his new house. 

Last Saturday (Yikes, has it realy been a week?!?!) we packed up the house into a 26 ft Penske truck, and of course ran out of room.  One quick trip to Uhaul later, I had added a 4x8 trailer to our moving plans.  Finally everything was going to fit.  You never really realize how much junk you accumulate until you move.  It was rediculous.  Still is.  Half that damn truck must have been the kids' toys!!! 

Checkout went great, in fact, they moved the next set of tenants in before we even got the moving truck/trailers out of the cul-de-sac!!  Really.  We were still saying bye to the neighbors when they took over the keys!! 

The drive wasn't bad either.  More challenging with 2 kiddos, but overall it went well.  Cooper screamed a little more than I expected.  He was done in the car after about 5 hours each day, which is understandable, but the show must go on!!  I was worried about Ady needed to stop to potty all the time, but she did great.  I just kept her pink potty in the back of theTB and we got it out at every stop.  The truckers all had a good laugh at the little girl on the pink potty, everytime we stopped.  Here are a few pictures from along the way.  The ice is in Kentucky, just before we crossed into Virginia.

What better way to pass the time than "ride" the Uhaul trailer?!?!  Yeeeee-Haaaaaaa!!!!

We finally made it to the new house and I haven't taken any pictures yet.  Except these:

Ady's new back yard has a rock wall...

and a slide...

and a flying trapeze bar...

and swings...

Before we had cable, Adyson was survivng watching only the portable dvd player.  Cooper enjoyed it also!

We have met lots of new neighbors, but no kids yet.  However, there is a 13 year old girl next door who has already offered to babysit.  Our favorite new neighbors are these guys:

More on them later, but this was literally in our garage.
