Packing Up

I finally get to update the blog today with a few minutes as the kids enjoy expending energy at Bounce, now named Jumpin'.

I think some pictures will speak volumes in this entry, so I'm likely going to keep the descriptions minimal.

Wednesday the tornado of moving hit our house with the boxers coming in to do their magic. Taking much longer than expected, they finished this task on Thursday, a testament to our ability to cram stuff into every nook and cranny in the house. They also took on the task of moving the Piano to Uncle Mike and Jen's basement.

Then it was the turn of the movers. This was originally scheduled for after we leave to Alaska next Wednesday, and then moved up to Saturday, then up again to Friday. This set the moving truck to arrive the day after the boxers and made for three very busy days.
We wished the truck said 'Alaska'.

Meanwhile I setup my office in the corner and tried my best to both stay out of the way and assist in coordinating the boxer and movers. This was the remainder of my office for the bulk of Friday.

This looked marginally more comfortable, and I should have moved into Liam's office space.

The place is looking empty by now, and the dogs are looking pretty put out by the fact they can't bother the movers.

 

And we all enjoyed watching the car get packed up.

An exhausting few days for sure, and at least now we move into the weekend and after some visits with family and friends, we look forward to starting our drive north. In fact, we still have a busy schedule with parties both tonight and tomorrow.

Of course we're still depending on the dogs getting their health certificates Sunday morning before we start the drive, or else we can't get into Canada with them. Fortunately this has already been scheduled. Pending all goes smooth, we'll be on the 3000 mile journey north come Sunday early afternoon.
