Moving is exhausting. Ken and I loaded up two pull-behind trailers with all of our necessary belongings. Our kids were being watched by the Stevens, and Ava had fallen asleep. Ava has not been a good traveler so we decided to send Ken on his way with the 3 youngest while I stayed behind with the girls and finished loading the last trailer and cleaning the house. I hate the last-minute packing and getting all of that last-minute stuff gathered up. We have moved several times, but this time was the worst with all of that last-minute stuff. I think it was a combination of the sudden move and having 5 kids. It took longer than expected; but doesn't it always? By the end I was just throwing everything away or piling it into boxes. I was so glad to be done and on the road.

| Poor Chase was so tired. |

| He must be really tired to sleep all bent up like this. |
What a way to spend your birthday--on the road and moving.

| Thank you to Aunt Brenda and family who saved Kailyn's special day. We went to see them after church (since they only live an hour and a half away now! Yippee!). |

Moving is no fun--hopefully you're almost done moving forever!
Kailyn, it's hard to believe you're already 9!
I hate moving! And we only have 3 of us to worry about. I can't imagine doing it with 5 kids! And yes it does take way longer then you think it's going to. Happy Birthday Kailyn! We love you : )
