Surprise...we're moving!

(I'm just now getting around to posting about this because we finally got our computer hooked up that has our card reader!)

April 23rd Grammy (aka Nancy) drove down from Kansas to surprise Mike and the boys (and to help us move). She got there around 1 am and just snuck in and slept on our couch. The boys were surprised and excited when they woke up Friday morning to find Grammy there! Mike had to work 1/2 day so Nancy, Angela, and I worked on packing...and playing with the boys.

I had no clue that an adult could ride in Brody's golf cart...of course...Angela is much smaller than most adults!

Aunt Angela and Brody

Barrett loved Grammy pushing him around the backyard on Brody's tricycle!

I didn't get any pictures of people moving stuff...but it was a busy Saturday. Nancy and Angela stayed at our rent house and packed stuff up while the guys (Mike, Caleb, and Mark) drove loads of stuff to our new house where Namaw, Audria, and I waited to unpack it. We got everything moved to the new house just in time for dinner (Taco Bueno of course)! Caleb and Barrett waited in the backyard for the dinner to arrive.

Thanks to everyone (Grammy, Namaw, Angela, Audria, Mark, & Caleb) for all the help that you gave us moving! It made the big move much less stressful.

Sunday morning Grammy had to head back to Kansas. Before she left, she took us out to breakfast at IHOP. Brody loved IHOP (although he keeps calling it "Hi Hop"). He especially loved the big cup of hot chocolate! Now he tells me he wants hot chocolate "like Hi Hop's".

Brody stalls as long as possible (and he's VERY good at stalling)...but finally Grammy had to leave.

We headed back home to try to find the things we'd need to make it to work the next day and to set up the boys' beds. Barrett was glad to see his crib set up in his room. Until his crib was set up, he'd been sleeping in his pack-n-play. Since Grammy was sleeping on a mattress in his room, and we were sleeping on a mattress in the media room (the carpet in our bedroom/closet wasn't installed until the next week), we'd set up his pack-n-play in our bedroom closet!

I'm sure when he gets older he'll remind us that we "made him sleep in the closet when he was a baby"...just like Tyler reminds my parents about the time that he had to sleep in a box in the closet on our trip to Delaware!
