Moving Out

It's finally happening.

We've slowly been circling in on this move.  Slowly.  I thought it would be here faster.  But the time has finally come.  I'm not eager to leave Colorado Springs, but once you know you are moving you kind of want it to get over with already so you can start settling in in a new place.  That's how I felt this time anyway.  The movers came this week to start packing our household goods.  I had a picture of Anna looking out the window when the movers brought our stuff to this house 2 1/2 years ago.  And here's Grant (who wasn't born when we moved in) watching them come to take our things.  See pictures from our move in HERE and HERE.

I took the kids to swim camp for most of the time the movers were here (they did the packing over two days and will load the truck tomorrow).  It left Scott to handle the packing alone, but I think he was more than equal to the task...especially without kids running around.  All the little people did want to inspect the work after it was done.

Every time we move I feel like I never want to buy another thing ever again.  Our family has grown a lot in Colorado.  When we moved here we had two kids, now we have four.  This is the only home Grant and John have ever had.  John is too little to care, but I hope Grant does o.k. with this transition, and the other kids as well.  And us adults too for that matter.  I'm glad the move is now underway...although it will still probably be over a month til we get into a house in Illinois.  We'll be living out of suitcases for a while.  :)  I don't even care about that.  I'm excited things are starting to happen and we get to take a little summer vacation in the middle of all the moving madness.
