Moving is HARD work.
August 1, 2006 was the day we moved into this apartment as a family. We'd lived here for a couple of months the previous year with my sister, but this time it was going to be home to us. Our idea of "unpacking" was to dump boxes of stuff on our bed and sort through them a few at a time. This strategy proved unsound and we will not attempt it again. At around 9 pm when we were still trying to find Hayden's pyjama bottoms, the poor little guy fell asleep on top of the pile of clothes. Not optimal.
Since moving here we've added another baby to the family. Silas joined us on December 5th the year we moved in, and it was this apartment that we brought him home to. This apartment is soaked in the cries of babies, the shrieks of toddlers, and the giggles of preschoolers.
Tomorrow we will start fresh in a new home. A home to be filled with more laughter and joy. More memories.
And we can't wait.
Aww! That photo sums up everything about moving in one cute little bundle!

I mean "new place" not "news place." The local paper would be all "um, excuse me. What are you doing?" But then they'd have a story!
