Slowly Getting Ready

Time is ticking away and we have a little over a month until we leave for Alaska. We have decided to do a partial DITY(do it yourself move). We bought a 6 x 12 trailer so that we can load up as much as we can get into it(especially my kitchen, bedding, linens, all the stuff you want right away. Then we will leave the furniture and big things for the professionals.

Caleb and Megan helped pose for the picture. It is Sunday afternoon so I generally let everything go. So you can tell that they are drawn on with marker and still have food on their faces. But that is ok!! At least I am "resting!" Caleb has been into Indiana Jones lately. He started using my high heel shoes for "boots" but after Curtis noticed, he promptly found Caleb some boots out of Jacob's closet. I didn't mind the heels...I thought he looked cute!!

And it is a little late, but we have a new little friend in our house. Buster (another Maltese) is about 9 months old. He is pretty much out of the puppy phase. He and Bella are good friends. He is a few pounds bigger than she is. Why we got another dog before the move, I don't know! 2 adults, 4 kids, and 2 dogs in a car for 10 days can't sound any more appealing!!
