In The Middle

After the kids were feeling better and the house was all packed up, we have been spending the remaining of our time with our great friends, the Kemmeys, while we wait to leave for vacation tomorrow. We WERE going to leave early this morning but after an ALL DAY clean out party at the house yesterday to get things nice for our renters, we were just plain exhausted!! We really needed another day to recover and get things in order for the road.

Here are some pictures of our last days in our Virginia home. Oh, how we are going to miss it!

We spent a few months getting things prepped and ready to move by painting the home, getting projects finished, gutting the house and making numerous Goodwill trips, keeping kids out of the way of the movers and escaping the heat by trips to the mall, library and pool, and cleaning the home inside and out. It took a lot of work and a lot of helping hands! The hard part seemed to be over - until we had to say goodbye to our home! :( Our family made a lot of memories here. Tears were shed and we will miss it dearly!
