Today was moving day. After a week of packing and sorting and chaos, the movers came at 8:30 this morning. Man, the professionals work fast. They had the house empty by 12:30 and drove all of our stuff off down the street. In the end we got all of it packed up, but I'm pretty sure that we're going to have a few surprises when we unpack.... like the colander in Erin's dresser drawer.
It's been bittersweet to pack up and move out. We're excited about all of the new stuff coming for us in Seattle and it is really nice to have moving day over, but it's hard to leave the house we've been living in for almost 10 years. It's also hard to leave and know that Erin will have few memories of living there and Nora will have no memories of being there.
It's also been an exhausting week. We've been lucky to have had lots of help from Gramma Beth, Grandma Jan and Grandpa Dean. We could not have done this without them. They've allowed me to sit on the couch nursing and snuggling with Nora and directing the activity. Matt caught me and Nora expressing our feeling about moving the other day...
We celebrated our last morning living in the house by giving both girls baths. Erin enjoyed hers a lot more than Nora did, but Nora now smells a lot sweeter and her hair is even a few shades lighter than we'd thought now that it's clean. Who knew.
We also have a few pictures of the house that we'll be renting in Seattle. We signed all the paperwork on Wednesday and are thrilled to actually have things settled for our housing out there.
