The packing and the goodbye's

We've been here a week already! It has been an incredible 2 weeks packing up, and saying goodbye.
We enjoyed a nice family get-together at Kyle and Danielle's new apartment - it was the first nice weather we had enjoyed in a long time. The kids celebrated by putting on a nice show for us - mainly cousin E and E (they were born for show biz).



The older kids stayed inside playing games. For us, it was the end of a long tradition (at least for now) of going to "Grandma and Granpa's" (Steve's parent's) on Sunday's.















Then there were several other goodbye's from friends, neighbors , and more family. The night before our move, the girls got to spend the night with the Escobar cousins. Sonja even pulled her kids out of school so they could play longer.

None of the cousins were very happy about parting ways.
















While the girls spent the day with cousins, M spent the day playing with two of his best buddies - together they are known as the troublesome three.














A Very Big Thank You to everyone for their great help! The dinners, taking the kids, packing, cleaning, and the biggest one ...loading the very HUGE moving truck. We really missed this help when we arrived in C City... tired and lonely. With just Steve, Steve's mom, and me to unload and unpack - it was back-breaking!
