ERIE-Home Sweet Home

We made it. Our move is complete. We are official residents of Erie, PA. Everything went really smooth. We are being spoiled by having movers come in and do EVERYTHING. I hope I never have to move on our own. I didn't pack even 1 box. They packed, moved, unpacked, and even took away the empty boxes. They were ahead of schedule, so we only had to stay in a hotel for 2 nights. We moved in on New Year's eve day, and by the evening time, Matt and I were exhausted, but we managed to stay up and watch a movie and bring in the New Year in our new home with a little Martinelli's. The kids are adapting well. It is as if they have lived here forever. Tomorrow we will go to our new ward and check things out there. And then Matt is starting his next assignment on Monday. Here are a few pictures of our last night in our Chicago house. The kids had fun wrestling with their dad and climbing on him.

































The movers let the kids get in the truck and honk the horn. I can imagine the neighbors we not too happy as Jack pulled on the horn and didn't let go.

Glad to see the move went well. Your house looks cute. It looks like you've got a little bit of land for the kids to roam. Even if it is in Erie :)

Good to have the move over with. Only two nights in the hotel, that's great. I think your home is very cute. I hope you like the new ward and I seriously want to visit because we have to go to Great Wolf Lodge!

Glad you got there safe. That is such a great home with lots of room for the kids to run. And its only for 5 1/2 months? You never know you might fall in love with Erie.

Hey - so jealous of the movers! That move doesn't sound that stressful at all. I am really not looking forward to ours. Cute house!

Yay! You guys are all settled. I love the pics of Matt with the kids, reminds me of the book Daddy Mountain...if you don't have it, you need to go get it. Every Dad can relate to being a jungle gym.
