Goodbye 627 east

Dear 627 East:

We are so sad to be leaving you. We have lived here for a long time and this is the only house that Max knows. We have made SO many wonderful memories, but the time has come to part ways and make more memories some where else. Be good to those that are to come and always remember us.

Love,

C, M&M

My little helper

A couple of days ago I was packing boxes and turned around to see Max doing the same. He was packing up his little car. Guess he is excited to go.

He also loves to play around with dad. Dad puts him in the bags and carries him around the house. Now he loves to climb in and out of all the bag that are around.

Our bags are packed...

and we're ready to go...We close this week! Clu asked for Salt yesterday and I had already packed it. I guess I was a little ambitious. I was afraid that I might not have it packed and ready to go. We are going to be gone most of the month of July and so I wanted to be moved by the 1st (even though we weren't supposed to close until July 3rd). Instead EVERYTHING is packed and are just waiting for the loan docs to get here. Poor Max doesn't know if this is his house or not. He looks around with a puzzled look. Moving day is Saturday thanks to the "Stucki scratch-n-dent crew."Max has found many new places to play (too bad they are nice and dirty but he loves it).

Goin' to the Zoo

This was little Max-sters 1st trip to the Zoo. We only got to stay for 4 hours (due to the MAJOR need for a nap). We went with Nana Deb; cousin Alicia and her kids, Preston and Ashlynn; and Jane and her granddaughter Ellie. Max loved the Giraffes. He thought they were pretty cool. He kept saying "WOW"! Wish we could've seen all the animals, but I guess that gives us another reason to go back. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot before Max was out.

Long over due

My SIL (sister-in-law) took these pictures of Max about 3 months ago, I am just a little slow (I kinda forgot) to post them. I think they turned out great! Max at 10 monthsThanks Britt!

on the move...again

I am a little hesitate to post this, but I am so excited I can't wait! This is going to be our new HOME*!

This will be move #8 since we got married 8yrs ago (it gets better, we have lived in the condo for the past 3yrs so 7 of our moves were in the first 5 years)! We are professional movers (if you need any advice...just get rid of it). As most of you know Clu has been commuting as I have been in search of the perfect house, and I think that we have found one pretty close. I am SO sad to be leaving the Salt Lake Valley, but I know that we will plant roots and be able to spend more time as a family. We will be closing on our home at the end of this month! After 7 LONG months of searching we have found a great home for our little family (backyard here we come)!

*I hope I will not be posting a retraction, but if I do we will be back to the perfect house hunt.
