Avery Roll

Now, I missed the roll again tonight because I was putting Payton to sleep...but this time The Mrs. caught it on tape so I guess it counts ;-) Here is Miss Avery in action! Thank goodness we are back in the land of carpet!!

Two things

First, I have unconfirmed reports this mornign from Jen that Avery finally rolled on her own from her front to her back. I tried to get it on film...but you know how that goes. I just caught the second showing where she got pissed and started crying.

Second, need to pass along this little family conversation today. We were driving in the car, heading over to Ken's to pick up Kylie.
Kade: Dad, go faster!
Dad: Kade, I can't.
Kade: Faster, like a roller coaster!
Dad: There is a red light up ahead.
Mom: And there is a police man right there [pointing]...you don't want daddy to get a ticket do you?
Kade: No...ok...go slow.
[pause]
Payton: Daddy, do you have any money?
Dad: For what honey?
Payton: To give the police man.
[pause]
Mom: [laughing] Payton, we aren't in Costa Rica anymore...you can't pay the police in the US.
Payton: Oh.
Ah, ourworldly children!

Finally - progress

Here is a screenshot from Redfin today - note the status line ;-). So all that paperwork must have finally gone somewhere useful!


Also, Christy posted a little mention about Kade and Haily parting ways....

It's official...we are gone!

After a long couple of days (ok, weeks) ... today was our first "day of rest". We got into Albuquerque last night around 7pm with 13 of the 14 pieces of luggage we started with. Hey 93% isn't bad these days...wouldn't you feel good if all you lost recently was 7% ;-)

Anyway...it didn't take long for the kids to pick up some slack. Now that we don't have Arelis they immediately set out to start cleaning the back porch!

Next up...is finishing all the home loan stuff and shipping the Maxima from NM to MA.

And there it goes....

Only took one day for WinMovers to pack everything up. And then only about 2 hours in the morning to load it all up (you see the shuttle in the pictures...the semi was out on the road). I even got to talk to the semi driver (yes in Spanish) for a little bit. Seems he is taking it down to Limon right now...so it should be at the port 1pm. Muy Rapido!

*IT* has begun


Last night we were in the hotel...so we are officially out of the house. As you can see...the movers came bright and early this morning. Let the games begin.

Toyota Sienna - 2010 XLE

More details on item #9:  Bought a car

So Obama must be lovin' us.  Not only did we just plunk down some green on a new home but also a car.  Here is what we got...a model 2010 blue XLE Toyota Sienna.  I know...everyone is just drooling over the over-the-top hotness of a minivan!  It's almost fully loaded...didn't get the navigation system since I already have a portable one.  Built in America.
