The last few days before we left for vacation/move, the girls had to get really good at taking care of themselves. I looked out the back window to see Cambry and Vienna eating some popcorn and drinking some water. How they got all that up there, I'll never know.
Usually, I catch the girls and give them hugs at the bottom of the slide, but with their parents preoccupied with packing they caught and hugged each other.
Part of the moving crew that came to help us load up the trailer: Aaron (Anderson), Aaron (Syrett), John, Charlie, Skip and Matt. We were seriously taken such good care of in this ward.
It was so hot and sweaty in that trailer. Mark, David, Eric (not pictured), and Devin tetris-ed all our belongings into a 8'x9'x10' block. There is something humbling about seeing all your belongings packed up into such a small space.
Speaking of how good a ward took care of us, this woman, Sister Bray, let us stay in her house for our second to last day in NC after we packed up all our stuff. She fed us and let us our kids play with her toys and in her backyard, and sleep in her beds. She was so generous to us.
She has the sweetest setup for our kids, complete with a loft and a slide.
Our last night in NC, we stayed with our good friends, the Meyers. They treated us to our favorite pizza place, Mellow Mushroom. Those aren't in Utah and it is our favorite restaurant. It was a perfect last dinner in NC.
Our kids were a big mess afterwards. So we threw them all into the bathtub.
We spent the rest of the night chatting as late as we could. We are really going to miss those guys and all the other wonderful people that we met out in NC.
I was totally bawling through this post! Maybe saying good bye is still fresh in my memory. The pictures of your girls catching each other on the slide are so sweet. We love you guys so much and we hope that you are enjoying being surrounded by family now!
