Moving day

Well, since I am new at this "blogging thing" I figured I better catch up a bit. Movers came and started packing our house at 7:15am on Tuesday, May 13th. They were supposed to arrive between 8 & 10am, so we were a bit surprised to be woken up by them just after 7am. The kids did a great job with all the commotion and change. Katelynn slept soundly in her bassinet while the mover packed up the kitchen around her. He kept saying "She is the best baby ever!", while he taped up boxes and clinked around dishes, she slept. The "packers" finally finished up at 7:30pm! Yes, that is 12 hours of packing up our home. We stayed in our house for the last night and had a slumber party in our room, since most of Carson's & Katelynn's things were packed. The next morning, the movers arrived at 8:30am. The truck driver decided that he didn't want to park on our street (the truck was too tall and would have broken tree branches...silly Seattle tree huggers!) Anyhow, so they decided to "shuttle" our things. This means that they parked the huge moving truck about a mile away in a parking lot and used a small U-Haul that they loaded and then drove to the big truck, unloaded and reloaded! Yes, a lot of extra work if you ask me. By 8:30pm, as they were slowly finishing getting the last items out of our home, I think the movers were feeling the "extra work" too.
