All packed up...

...and ready to go! This has been a busy week trying to get everything packed and get utilities switched over and all that fun stuff. We're getting the moving truck tomorrow and will have everything out of the house by tomorrow night and will be closing on both houses on Friday morning. We're so excited to get into our new house!
Here are some pictures from the past few days that I wanted to share.

I tried my hand at giving Zachary a haircut for the first time the other day...amazingly it was halfway straight! :-)
This is his new way of pretending to talk on the phone. He sticks his finger in his ear and says "bye". It's so cute! He also uses whatever toy is in his hand as a telephone. Do you think he sees his mommy on the phone too much?! Elaina has been wondering why we haven't gotten a "Sold" sign put up, so I told her she could make us one. She did a great job! Now everyone will know that this house is SOLD! :-)Here's the last picture of the kids sitting on the front porch of our "old" house. This house holds many precious memories, but we look forward to making many more memories in our new home. Okay, I just teared up as I typed that. I've been so busy through this whole process, I haven't really had time to think about the fact that we're leaving our first home. We closed on this house on Elaina's first birthday, so she opened a key to the house as one of her gifts. That's always been a special memory for me. We're now just a little over a month away from her 7th birthday, so I guess she'll be getting a new key this year, but we're hoping there won't be any more keys for a long, long time! :-)
