Life goes on with boxes and empty shelves all around

 We've been putting a bunch of things into storage, and trying to empty our house as much as we can before the big day.  But we still have to live too, so we can't be too eager either.

We left some books behind for our worm.

 And the boxes waiting behind are great fun to have houses between.

 

 Daniel and Jennifer are on their way to Papua New Guinea.

 Evelyn is wearing casts (extendable ends for the kid table.

 But Mommy has the camera so she has to come barging over to see herself.

 So many empty cubbies to fill up with toys!

The older kids are taking advantage of any snowfall we get.  And asking me to take them to the park so they can go sliding.  But I don't want to since last week we went, and when we got back Evelyn's fingers (despite wearing a double layer of mittens) were very red with cold and they took a while to warm up.  She was not impressed.  So now they have to wait 'til the move.  Instead they are biking on the sidewalk and plowing the snow.

 Matthew read a book to Evelyn.  I think he was really reading the words this time.  Evelyn was a wiggly audience, but patient too. 

 And it sounded better on his lap. ;)

Hard to believe we have school work still. 

 We ought to have a break!

 Evelyn brings pony tails for her "hair" to be styled with.  Ain't she gorgeous?
:p

Beware laying down anywhere...you are considered fair game for a hug/dog pile from affectionate Evelyn.
