Packing...

Wow we got a lot packed today!!! We had ourselves saying a lot today..."what are we even going to pack into those bins and suitcases?" We thought we'd have a lot more coming with us, and apparently (and thankfully) we won't have as loaded of a van as we thought...but still loaded:) We were home all day and worked hard at packing into bins and getting stuff out of sight. The kids even let us!!! It almost seems that as toys have been packed they have been happier and using more of their imagination. For some reason a closet upstairs has been so much fun for them the last couple of days that there are times where we don't see or hear from them an hour at a time...which for our kids is WEIRD!!! We are feeling really good with how packing and final details are coming along...just hope we aren't forgetting anything.

Tomorrow is a farewell party with our Cell group...we're getting together to enjoy the afternoon to cook, fellowship, and hang out one last time. We sure will miss this group!! The days following include a farewell supper out with our team, a few more goodbyes, 2 final days of school for the girls,  their Christmas program on Wednesday morning, the final packing and loading of the van and some cleaning of the house. Right now it all feels very manageable thankfully and we don't even feel stressed with it. Which definitely means we are feeling all your prayers!!!!
