Moving Out Day

A lot of people didn't really know about it but we sold our house on January 27th and moved out the next Wednesday on Feb. 3rd. We really wanted a garage and attic space and so we found a cute new house close by. Moving is of course a pain, especially with kids. We started packing weeks before but there were a lot of things we couldn't pack until the last minute. Rexford was really excited about the whole thing and wanted to help with everything from packing boxes to loading the truck. Austin was confused and didn't quite understand where all of his toys and room decorations kept going. It was a little sad on moving day. We were excited about the new house but it's always weird to move and leave behind a house we worked so hard on and where our kids have lived since they were born. It was weird too because our new house wasn't ready yet and so we moved all of our stuff into the new garage but then couldn't stay there. Brian's parents were wonderful and let us crash with them for a little over a week. They fed us, let us take over their televisions, had their house messed up by two wild boys :), and his mom washed and ironed our clothes! We had it pretty easy :) Austin was so confused and kept going to the door wanting to go home when he got tired but Rexford seemed to do well. We were finally able to move into our new house on Feb. 12th (well, we painted that night and moved in the next day but we're still not quite done moving in). I'll post pictures of the new place later but here are some pictures of the boys helping Daddy load the big truck.

Austin enjoyed sitting at the top of the ramp

Rexford loved helping!

Austin thought the truck ramp was a climbing toy

They had lots of fun walking up and down the ramp
