My folks are packing up and heading to Arizona. Wow...it's been 23 years in the same place. Me and 2 of my 3 sisters and our hubby's and older boys took the place by storm this weekend and made HUGE progress in the moving process with them. It was craziness. We had a few sad moments....going down memory lane and realizing this is an end to a big long crazy chapter for all of us....and we had some funny moments, we got a bit silly at times, and we mostly had....let's just POWER through this and GET 'ER DONE moments.
Dad was in his element, he had us all marching.
Mom was surviving...she had all of us barking at her..."keep or not"...."Arizona or storage"...."garbage or box"...all weekend long...all of us firing off constant questions, we did not give her time to think....we didn't have time. She did very well, and hung in there to the dirty end and didn't even threaten to spank us or put us in the corner once!!!!
Here we are as a young family of mom and dad and 4 girls....it feels like this was just a few days ago.
Kole is holding a dear picture that just had to go...when you've taken a zillion pictures over the years you just can't keep them all. So we have plenty copies of each precious moment, but those big ones are just taking up too much space.
Here is all of our Senior pictures...Mom is holding Tawnya's. Just a few days gone by since these were taken.
