July (and June) News

I have been delinquent in my postings but I have a good excuse - we've been moving! We sold our house in Richmond and closed in Jacksonville at the end end of June. I am sure I am not alone in that I hate moving. I loved the fact we were moving but the act itself is just no fun. We closed in Jacksonville just in time to have three days to pack up our house. It was tough with Hallie but Reed did a lot of it and we ended up having more time because our movers pushed us back couple of days! I drove the 8 hour drive back in my car with Hallie, which was actually a much more enjoyable ride than I imagined. The worst part was trying to go to the bathroom and not set down my wriggling almost one year old! (I didn't have the foresight to keep out a stroller.) Reed stayed back and oversaw the movers who didn't finish until much later than anticipated - 2 AM - and slept on the floor in a sleeping bag he managed to find in our junk since it was too late get a hotel! Anyhow, three days later our stuff showed up and with my mom to watch Hallie for me we reclaimed all of our belongings! Luckily moving in was quicker and easier than moving out. I have some pictures I will download soon now that I have a computer set back up.
