Packing Packing and more Packing

Well I can't believe we have less then a week before we move.  We are in really great shape to be honest.  So far we have the guest room empty, our room empty except our bed, the guest bathroom empty, our bathroom 90% empty, our closet is just clothes we need for a month (the rest is being shipped), and some repacking in the front room.  Upstairs should be finished by tomorrow. I am excited about that. We will will do the last minute stuff downstairs tomorrow night and try to finish up Thursday.  Tomorrow they are coming to stretch the carpets.  Friday they are cleaning the carpets.  Sunday the movers come and Monday we fly out of here.  This is a really short non exciting post but since I am on lack of sleep and its 10 I thought I would make it short.  We have been so busy , but I promise once I get to Germany the posts will get more exciting with pics and all.  Good night!!!

out of town

Just wanted to let you know that we are back east and have been since Sunday. I will be back to posting next week. We are having a great time visiting with friends and family. In news we have our flights booked to Germany and are getting closer to our move date. I will update you next week.

Easter

Well this year Easter was much bigger for Ivy then last year.  She still doesn't understand much of it but she had a great weekend.  We started the weekend off with an Easter egg hunt at the community center and she met the Easter bunny on Saturday.  For those of you who know her well, know she loves animals live or stuffed.  She was excited to see the Easter bunny but not so much to sit on his lap.  She was terrified.  I have posted the best pics that we could get under the circumstances.  There was so much going on.  Below are pics of her at her first Easter egg hunt as well as pics of her with the Easter bunny!!!

After this event we went to the park came home and we stripped Ivy down and put her in a disposable diaper to dye eggs for the first time. It was challenging and fun but I must say she had more dye on her then the eggs I think.

Sunday was her first time in church.  They do a family service and assure the parents squirming noisy children are ok for this service. Ivy enjoyed the music and she loved the children's service.  Here are some pics of her dressed up in her Easter dress. 



It was a very nice day and to end the beautiful Easter Sunday we had grilled steak and artichokes out on the deck.  It was Ivy's first time having artichokes and she loved them here is a video.

It was a great weekend and it was so much fun seeing Ivy enjoying her Easter weekend.  I am sure as the years go on it will even be more enjoyable.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!!
