After Donnie’s graduation we started packing for our move across the country. We had a little less than three weeks to get it all done, and we barely made it! In fact, if it wasn’t for the extra help we had from my mom and about a dozen neighbors, we would not have been able to take care of everything.
We ended up giving away our kitchen table and chairs, and throwing away a lot of other things just to get everything to fit into the U-Haul. Ohhh I hate moving! At least we will be here for the next 5 or 6 years before we have to do this again. Sort of. We are not entirely settled. Most of our things are in a storage unit and we are staying with my grandmother while we look for a place to live.
We haven’t really devoted any time to house hunting though because we have been preparing for baby brother and Donnie has been working so we can save up some money – or at least survive until school starts!
Sydney has enjoyed her time at Grandma’s house. She loves to lie on my Grandmother’s bed and read books. In fact, reading is probably Sydney’s most favorite pastime activity. When we do find a new home, we would like to set up a special reading spot for her. She can have a special chair and a little bookshelf, maybe a few over-sized pillows…who knows? She definitely needs something a little better than this:
Sydney also has enjoyed cooking with Grandma. Sydney really likes cupcakes – she calls them Princess Cupcakes – and Grandma let her help make some. However, when you cook at Grandma’s, you have to wear a hair net. Sydney though that was pretty funny.
Sydney has had a lot of time to play with her cousins too. Every day she asks if we can go play with cousins, and most days we do. It is nice to have so many around now!
