Blogging Live...

...from Ohio! (Tom has a wireless card for his laptop so I am actually posting this while we are driving. Crazy!) We drove out of our driveway last night and made it through Connecticut and to the NY/PA state line. Today we have driven across the entire state of Pennsylvania and are almost through Ohio. We are stopping over at our friends' house (Isabel's godparents) for the night and then on the road again tomorrow. I'm very excited about tomorrow's leg, because it promises something very exciting! Are you curious? You'll have to check back to see how it goes!

*We are currently driving past what we can only imagine are windmill blades on huge trucks. Very interesting!

Tips for Moving with Small Children

For months I've been waiting for June to come. I am very ready for this move to happen. But now that June is here, the stress level is skyrocketing. Tom has an appointment today to set up the movers to get our stuff. We're aiming for 3 weeks from now. Ay! And of course, I've lost a weekend. (We're almost 100% recovered, thankfully.) And a new development (more to come on that later) might have us leaving earlier than planned and may even have me driving by myself with the girls before Tom can leave. Sooooo... I'm asking for any advice you may have on moving across country with 2 small children, especially from those of you who have experience. Last time we moved, we didn't have any children, so we only had to take care of ourselves and had each other to keep us entertained. Do you have tips on how much, or little, we need to take with us in the car? Obviously, I'd like to keep things as simple as possible, but I also like to be prepared. The other thing to note is that we will be able to stay with my parents until we figure out housing, so we are not in a rush. This means we may not have our household goods delivered right away. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I really am trying to be organized about the whole thing. Thanks in advance!!!

Do You Know Where Your Husband Is?

It's almost 10 and my better half is out laying mulch.

Did I mention how much I love moving?

Busy, Busy, Busy

Last week, Jane asked what was going on in these pictures. For those of you don't know, we're moving this summer. That means we have to sell our house. So now we are in a mad dash to make it look buyable. (See Cris' post.) The pictures were of our dining room. We ripped down the wallpaper that we didn't do such a good job of putting up 4 years ago. My parents are flying in tomorrow to help with some other major jobs. Hopefully, this will all work out. I'll try to get some pictures to post, but I don't know how much blogging I'll be doing. If you have a free moment, a prayer or two that all projects go well (and that we sell our house fast) wouldn't hurt.

Oh, if you have any tips, on selling a house, or moving with small children, they would be greatly appreciated.

God bless!
