Gotta do 2 photos - the old and the new

Quick update - Karen is out of town for the weekend - the twins go to camp this upcoming week and Sam is off for a week of great adventure with nana and poppa. I am here with David, Katie and Emie and we have had an exciting day exploring our local Super Target and playing in the yard. The kids also watched Little Bear - while Big Bear took a nap - 8). Funny story about Super Target - we ended up having a 3 course meal @ Target. First, we started with popcorn. Then a round of hotdogs and after the first round was done - the kids wanted another!


The photo above is our last afternoon in Mayberry - before we move to the big city of Mt Pilot.

Most of the last 3 weeks has been a blur, but we have moved and have photos to prove it.

A few highlights -

• beautiful days for moving!
• we had more stuff than we thought - 1 1/2 trucks
• we had more weight than we thought - the 'rule' was 25,000 lbs - we were over by almost 10,000 - extra pounds - maybe that is what 7 kids does to you.
  
• we had an awesome moving crew - not a single thing broken (that we have found)
• kids did well
• we have boxes all over - most frequently asked question - where is the ______ ?
• we are enjoying our new house - we have a lot more space and a few features that a 1930 Cape Cod was missing.
• I have an investment tip - I think the companies that make out the best in moves are those that make bathmats - I think we have had 200 bathmats in and out of our house for size, color, shape, smell - who knows what all.
• We've had some great help with the kids the past 2 weeks - which has enabled the kitchen and a few other essential areas to be set up.

If you are ever in Mt. Pilot - look us up - ok?
