We're Here!

Hello everyone! I know it has been a long time since I have written anything but our lives have been a little upside down for the past month or so. We are finally moved into our new apartment. We are all slowly getting used to how small it is! Thank you so much Granny and Grandad for all of your help last week with the packing, moving and groceries! I am not sure we would have been able to do it without you! Thank you too Nana for all of your help too, even though you couldn't be down here with us for the move.

So here is a little overview. On Sunday, August 10th we picked up our moving van and filled it full (I mean really full) with all of our things from home. Of course I was still not completely done packing so thanks so much to Debbie, Stacie, Brian and Mark for coming over and helping us out with the packing and filling of the truck. I don't think it would have actually gotten done had you not come and rescued us!

Monday, August 11th was the big move day. We left late of course because we still had more stuff to put into the truck, animals to bring to boarding and cats to put in the car. Then finally, Monday afternoon we arrived in Blacksburg.

Since then we have been unpacking, going to Target (a lot) and setting up the new apartment. Did I mention it's TINY! I think we are pretty much unpacked now and the kids are starting to get settled in. This past Saturday we enjoyed a lovely day at Smith Mountain Lake with Jen, Tom, Hannah, Brooke and Caleb. Thank you so much guys for giving us a fun filled "break" from unpacking! Today, Jen and the kids came down to Blacksburg to visit the new place and have lunch. We were so excited to have visitors! Here are a couple pictures of the visit.

Ethan had his meet the teachers night tonight where he met his new teacher and his first day of school is this Wednesday. Oh my, my baby is going to kindergarten! He is very excited but I think a little nervous too.

My next post will have some pictures of the apartment for those of you who wanted to see it. Hope everyone is having a great August! We hope you're feeling better Pop Pop, Ethan and Tabitha both say hi and that they love you and miss you!
