Moving

We are finally in Colorado and getting settled in our new home. We started packing up late September. The kids, cats and I went to Birmingham for a few days while Cameron supervised the packing, etc. Then, the kids and I flew to Dallas where we met Cameron. We stayed there for 2 weeks while Cameron came up to Colorado to finalize our housing plans. Throughout this move, we have been so thankful to have so much help from all our family!! My dad flew in and drove my car from AL to TX, G, D and Grandmom helped so much with the kids while we were in transition, and my mom drove with me, the kids and two cats from TX to CO (even staying in a hotel overnight). We could not have done this move without everyone's help!!  Here's some pictures of our time in each state...

Having a ball at the zoo with Caden.

Wearing our binoculars to feed the ducks and look for fish. 

Grandmom and I took Caden, Pres and David to the Science Center one morning.

 

 

 

David got his first haircut at 11 months old while we were in Texas.

 

We had lots of playdates with our old playgroup and Liam and Bryn while we were in Texas.

 

We went to the pumpkin patch one morning with the Barker's and Mallie.

 

The slumber party was a success!

Playing in pony land :)

We even got to squeeze in some playtime with our old playgroup! We decorated pumpkins and celebrated Ashley's birthday one Friday morning. We miss hanging out with all the kiddos and their moms, but it's so nice we get to still see them all when we come back in town.

And finally, he was so glad to get out of his car seat when we got to the hotel.... Mallie and I drove from Dallas to Amarillo (6.5 hour drive). We stayed in a hotel with the kids and cats one night before finishing the drive the next day (about 6 hours). The kids were amazing the whole road trip! Presley got crazy/silly the last hour of the trip, but was so good the whole time. She read books, ate snacks, sang songs and entertained David. He did WAY better than I would have thought! When we stopped for gas or to feed him, all he wanted to do was play. He would stand at the steering wheel and look out, talk to people, he was so happy to be out of his car seat. He didn't like being put back in, but he didn't fuss too long. I couldn't have done it by myself, that is for sure! Mallie handed them toys, picked up paci's countless times, even gave David a bottle leaning backward over her seat! It was an eventful trip and we are so glad to be settled for a while!
