Moving day...

The packers got to our house on Dec. 29th and then everything was loaded into the truck on the 31st. We were amazed at the size of the truck that came!! They did a great job getting everything packed and loaded on time. I asked them if they wanted to stay and clean, but they nicely declined the offer! Bummer!!!

Have you ever seen Extreme Home Makeover? This picture reminded me of..."Bus driver, move that bus!!!

As you can probably imagine, Zach was in heaven being inside this big semi! The driver let him and Chris get in the front for a tour. They said it was like a mini apartment in there. Zach also got to pull the horn a couple times! WOW - talk about loud! The driver had a locomotive horn put on his truck! All the moms in the neighborhood with sleeping children were probably cussing us out since he was honking it right around naptime! Ooops, sorry everyone!

They had to take apart the recliner to load it in the truck. This became Chloe's new slide until they loaded it! She loved it!

This is a saying I had on the wall above the kids pictures. "The greatest things in life aren't THINGS." I started to remove it from the wall, and thought I would just leave it like this for a little while. Read closely. This is how I feel these days being big and pregnant!!

An empty family room!!! Chris and Baxter drove out a few days later headed for AZ. Aside from some really snowy and icy roads in places, for the most part, everything went great. I went to the closing on our house on the 5th, so now my house is no longer my house! It was a blessing to sell it so quickly, but sad at the same time. We really liked our house! The kids and I stayed and finished everything up in Indiana before flying out on the 6th. The Pini's were so kind letting us stay with them. I know it really threw off their schedules, but we are very grateful for their generosity. We had a fun time being with them. The kids and I, along with our good buddy Connor, went to the Children's museum for the last time. It was lots of fun!!

The night before we left, TJ, Carrie and I were able to sneak away for a couple hours! A much needed break after a hectic day and it wasn't even until 9:30 at night!! So many laughs and yummy dessert!!
Luckily, the truck got here to Arizona the morning of the 6th and unloaded. So Chris was able to have all the beds set up and made by the time we got there that evening. Now we are just living in complete mess as we try to unpack everything.

Zach started at his new school yesterday. I was quite emotional as I dropped him off because I worry so much about him having to make new friends and fitting in. I said many prayers all day long that things would go ok. He is at the point that being with Mom isn't "cool" anymore, so it was almost torture for him to have to walk to school with me!! Oh, poor boy! We live right across the street from the elementary, so he will just walk to and from everyday. He can also ride his bike, which he is very excited about. Luckily, when I picked him up, he said that everything went well and he had a good day. He has made a couple friends already, which shouldn't surprise me because he is such a friendly guy.

I met my new dr. yesterday, and to be honest, was not thouroughly impressed. Hopefully it will get better. I absolutely had the best dr. in Indiana. She was the most caring wonderful lady and was more like a friend, not a dr. I am missing that a lot about this new dr. I have an ultrasound on Monday morning to check the fluid levels (they were a little low), but other than that, everything seems to be going fine. This poor little boy is not going to have a name though!! We can not decide on anything!!!

We are all doing fine out here in Arizona and hopefully will feel more settled soon. It would be nice to have a couple weeks down time before this baby decides to enter the world. I think I am really the only emotional one, but that is most likely because of hormones and exhaustion - and living in chaos. Thanks for the well-wishes and the phone calls!
