Packing

Seems like everyone wants to know how the packing is going so I will tell you...slow. We started almost right away packing items we would not need for the rest of our time in West Union. Bread machine, books, wall decorations...that sort of thing. It's hard to get much done having to feed babies and play with a toddler. However... last week one of the "grandparent" couples from church offered to take all the kids for a day and night and next day. All I could say was: Are you sure? Are you sure? Well Tuesday and Wednesday were the days. We ended up not taking the kids down there until 4pm due to a check up(Clara is 13 lbs and Elsie is 12 & 4 oz). Kent and Marilyn Peterson had two of there grankids there helping, especially for entertaining Owan. Kally is about 8, I think, and Marilyn said she was very motherly and couldn't stand to have any of the kids upset. I guess waiting for Owan to cry a little before he went to sleep was almost torture for her. So a big huge thank you to Kent, Marilyn, Tyler and Kally.
It was so strange to wake up and not have any babies to feed or change. All day both Ryan and I kept thinking we had to get Owan or check on Elsie or feed Clara and then we realized we didn't have to-it was strange. We finished packing all the books and I was able to organize, pack, and label all the baby clothes!! We also got our whole storage room cleaned up, packed and organized so now we can actually use it to store boxes.
So that is how the packing is going.

This is Marilyn with Clara and Elsie at a get-together a week ago.

This is Owan riding a pony. He doen't look like it here but he really had fun!
