Starting the moving process...

For a couple of months now we've been slowly packing up our house and getting ready for the big move. Yesterday we got the U-Haul truck and loaded it up with almost all of our stuff...we have too much! We rented the biggest U-Haul they have and fill it to the max! We officially close on both houses on Thursday. We can get into the new house at 2, and have to be out of the old house at 5. So, we've got 3 hours to run back and forth to fill up our cars with the remainder of our stuff. Sounds like fun, huh? Luckily the new house is less than 5 miles away! Dylan wasn't too sure what to think about the U-Haul truck. He keeps calling it Dada's truck. At first he didn't want to go in it at all. Eventually he let Mama take him in the truck, but he did not want to let go of her!

Slowly he got a little brave. What you don't see here is that Mama is standing on the other side of the truck, so she's still not too far away, which he liked.

The first couple of times he went down the ramp, he wanted to hold someones hand. Then he decided maybe he could walk down it like a big boy all by himself!

Finally he decided this whole ramp thing was pretty cool. Here is he taking a running start from the front of the truck so he could run down the ramp!

Like I mentioned, most of our furniture etc. is packed inside the U-Haul melting away. So, here's Dylan's current set up. His chair and the portable DVD player. We like to wind down with Khaki Mouse (AKA Mickey Mouse).

What like moving is hard? Dylan sure had fun this weekend!

Special thanks to everyone who braved this ridiculous heat to help us load up the U-Haul yesterday! We truly appreciate it!
