It looks like a tornado hit our apartment. This is the hard part about moving. How could we have possibly acquired so many things in 3 years?! Oh ya, we had a baby. Which begs another question, how could someone so small have so many things?! We're lucky we could swing a two week move-in period, because honestly, I don't know if we could do this in one day. I did it before- when I was single and childless - and it was an awful experience I swore I'd never do again. I can't imagine doing it now. So each time we move, we get a place we can move into early and slowly, taking our time so it's not overwhelming. It pretty much has taken over our life right now anyways. A few car trips a day, some help from some wonderful friends, and folks, in about a week, we'll be moved into our new place! I'm really excited and also kind of sad to be leaving our little home. I do love this little place. Lot of memories happened here. And I love our neighborhood and the area. And our neighbors. Even the sketchy guys across the street who love to play guitar and drink on their porch till 3 am. They're actually pretty nice and they're nice to my kid. Sadie especially likes Squid. Yep, that's what they call him. But..... I'm pretty psyched to be moving somewhere new, have a new place to explore, a different type of environment to live in. Really looking forward to our summer there. I'm a firm believer that change is a good thing.
When we're not packing and cursing about moving, we're enjoying this gorgeous spring weather. Usually I never catch the cute moments between Sadie and friends because my camera is never handy. However, I did happen to catch this one! Sadie and Lukas walking and holding hands at the park. Awwww!! I can't tell you how cute this was in person. And it wasn't even prompted by Mom! The innocence and sweetness of children is so special and wonderful. I love our playgroup/mommy/kid time we have each week. Frankly, I don't know what I'd do without it!
I really shouldn't be blogging. Seriously. I need to get offline and pack.

Moving sucks no matter how you put it! Whether it's five minutes away or five hours, it sucks. I've never moved with kids, and when we look for a bigger house in about three years, I'm going to be out of my mind! good luck with all of it, hope you get settled soon! :)
Squid? You have a neighbor named SQUID?? HAHAHA!
How cute is the picture of Sadie and Lukas holding hands?? And how cute is your new title page, with Sadie standing in front of the ocean? *smile* :-))
Thanks, I needed that!
(Good luck with the packing and moving.)
