Getting Ready

So we've been packing a lot lately, a couple hours each morning. We are probably half way packed, maybe more. I have a schedule for each day since we only have the mornings to pack. Friday will have the most since we have to pack food and last minute stuff then. That day is my birthday, so Justin and I are trying to find a day when we can actually celebrate my birthday. So far he is working most of the days after we move in. We'll find a time though. We did get to see our new place today, and not a place similar. We were so excited! They put in new carpets, and the place looks wonderful! We were plotting out furniture and such, and the only room we couldn't really figure out was our bedroom. It is a lot smaller than we are used to, and so we are trying to figure out how to fit our bed and dressers in there.

The kids have been playing great together lately. It is so cute to sit and watch them! Their favorite place is in the blankets. I have several shots of them on different days just playing in the blankets. At least those are easy and quick to clean up!

Hazel has started crawling. She is learning still and is hesitant right now, but if you give her sufficient motivation she will slowly make her way over to it. I have a video on Picasa, but its too much to download here. So here is the link:http://picasaweb.google.com/JustDaCrooks/August2009#5373230652196312578

We bought a washer and dryer this past week. We got a really awesome deal on the set. They are about five years old, but look in new condition. The previous owners took great care of them. They had no problems, but they were offered a nicer set by their neighbors, so that's why they were selling them. When we went to pick them up (with some awesome help from a friend), they had some dogs and four goats that Levi loved. They even let him feed the goats!

So the real adventure begins! We are packing like crazy, and getting every thing ready to move. We won't be able to connect our tv or internet until a week after we move in, so it'll be a little before I update my blog. We have plenty of help thankfully. People from our ward and family are being gracious with their assistance!
