June 18, 19 and 20th the packers and movers came to pack us out. The boys had a great time with the boxes. They loved napping in the "cave" (really our storage area in the basement). They were kind of sad to be packing everything up and had a million questions about what exactly was happening to all their stuff and when they would see it again! Adalee did really well. She basically just ate and took naps.
On the 20th, the children and I left Kansas and drove halfway to Tennessee. Abrahm stayed behind for a day to make sure the cleaning ladies and carpet cleaners got everything cleaned. He signed out the next day and joined us in Clarksville the following day so that we could close on our house.

Where's Adam?

My parents met us in Clarksville to watch the kids while Abrahm and I closed on the house and ran errands. The kids loved being spoiled by Grandma Jean and Papaw. We had a few small issues with the house right before closing, but everything eventually went off with out a hitch. Now the painting....that was a whole other story!

Our first stop was in Evansville, Indiana, to see some friends from Alaska. Ann Marie, Lauren, and Grace were visiting family in Evansville so we crashed their house and visited with them for a couple of days. We went to the Children's Museum, a couple of parks and even went swimming in our hotel. We played over at Lauren's grandparents' house and they cooked us some yummy meals. We really had so much fun seeing them again. Adam and Lauren picked right up where they left off. Thanks Ann Marie and family for letting us invade! We really had a great time! Abrahm still says Dan owes him one :)
