Update from Grammy's

Here's a glimpse of last Wednesday:
1. Moved out of our townhouse. Had to repack the POD after loading it with all the boxes b/c the movers said we had packed it wrong. Good times...
2. Temporarily moved into Grammy's house the same day. Looking at all the stuff we have at her house for our 3 week stay, I think we're gonna need a U-Haul just to move out of here.
3. Set up girls' cribs in the living room b/c the cribs wouldn't fit through the older door frames and there was no way we were going to disassemble them for just 3 weeks.
4. Spent the first night at Grammy's awake all night...not b/c of the girls, but b/c our dog, Jack, would not stop barking, then Grammy's dogs picked up the slack after Jack quit. Jack has a teensy separation anxiety problem when staying in a new place.
5. Spent the rest of the night awake worrying that the dogs would wake the girls up. Woke up feeling like I had another newborn at home.

And that was just the first day! Each day has gotten easier and less crazy as we've settled into a little bit of a routine here. The girls are both officially sitting up on their own now, eating lots of great solids, including some turkey they have tried, and enjoying watching the 3-dog circus at Grammy's house...I didn't need to bring any of their toys b/c there is so much activity and ruckus going on here all the time!

We have a little more than two more weeks here, so we're just excited about our new house and the added space and unpacking all of our stuff and giving away a lot more...I always thought of myself as a minimalist and the direct opposite of packrat, but after looking (and moving) at all our boxes, I think it's time to clean out some more! There is no need for all that stuff!
