Packing

It continues to be pretty wild around here.  The company that is relocating some of our stuff is coming tomorrow afternoon and so my time has been, goodbye parties, packing and collapsing onto the couch.  As Blogger still won't let me load photos, I haven't bothered to come and update much.  There has been way too much other stuff going on!  I am just too tired tonight to pack more and not quite tired enough to go to bed early.  I think that sometimes there is so much to do it all blurs into one big thing.  I hope that I can get it all organized for transport tomorrow but frankly, don't really care if I don't!  Much of what I am taking is for sentimental reasons alone and I can always pick it up on subsequent visits back here. 

 

I had Mim here helping the other day.  Her job, and Levi's was to go through the toys and decide what was going and what he had either grown out of or lost the pieces to and put them in piles.  I looked over at one point to one huge pile and a modest little pile beside it.  I laughed because I assumed that the big pile was the 'take to USA pile' but instead it was the give/throw away pile.  Levi again amazed by his maturity, deciding that he could live without many of the toys.  His decisions were made easier by the fact that we are taking all the Lego and all the Playmobil, so he didn't need to sort that.  The best thing about all of that is when he complains that he can't find something and goes to get mad at me, I can remind him who in fact made all those decisions!

 

There is only nine days before we are going off on the big adventure.  Today was the last day that we would ever be at Samford State school and I had mixed feelings leaving it behind.  It has been a pretty good school but I am excited that Levi will have the chance to try something new.  He has some good friends behind it's gates but he will keep in touch with most of them!  The teachers from Vacation Care were definitely sad to see him go!
