This Is It...

The big day is finally here - we're leaving for Minnesota! Just a few last things to pack up :-) We're ready to go! It's sad and happy all at the same time - we'll definitely miss our first house :-( Minnesota here we come!

One Last Walk Around the Neighborhood

We've had lots of nice walks around our neighborhood, but today is the last one :-(
Negar and Elise came over to walk with us. After our walk we played in the house for a while. We hope we find such good friends like these in Minnesota.

Good Bye Dr. Plachta

Dr. Plachta has been taking care of Madeline ever since she was born. Today was Madeline's last appointment before we leave for Minnesota. She was given a clean bill of health :-)
We'll definitly miss Dr. Plachta!

Fun on the Air Matress

Madeline's bed isn't the only only one that's already been packed - so has mom and dad's! Their air mattress is fun to play on, so this morning Madeline woke mom up to play :-)

Wake up Mom!

Let's play hide & Seek :-)

Still Packing...

Wow, we have a lot of stuff!!! We're still packing, but now both Grandma & Grandpa Frantz are here to help!
Grandpa read to Madeline while mom and dad kept packing. Grandma took Madeline outside to watch all of the craziness. Then it was time to say good-bye. Madeline had to make sure she gave extra hugs and kisses because we won't see Grandpa & Grandma Frantz again until July :-( After a hard day of packing Madeline & Mom took a break outside.

Are We Camping ?!?!?

Since Madeline's crib got packed up yesterday she'll be sleeping in her PeaPod for a while... It might feel like we're camping, but mom promised we'd really go camping once we got to Minnesota!

One Last Ohio Play Date

Today we went over to Andrea & McKenna's house for one last play date!
We were so happy that so many of our friends could come to say good-bye.
Madeline played in the grass while Dillon played with his ball. Then Madeline & McKenna went swinging - thanks McKenna for sharing your swing with Madeline! There were even bubbles!Madeline wanted to share her ball with McKenna & Dillon. After a while we all had to take a break. Then it was time for a wagon ride - Madeline loved it! We're going to have to get her her own wagon soon :-) Our other friends were too little to go outside so we took a picture with them inside. Here is Madeline with Elise, Owen, McKenna & Dillon. Too bad Aiden already left - he missed out on the picture!

Good-bye everyone - We'll miss you!!!

In the Moving Truck it Goes!

Madeline's last day in her first room!

Here she is waking up for the day...
Good-bye room...


One last nap...


All packed up!

Madeline's First Room

We wanted to make sure we got some pictures of Madeline in her room before we started packing everything up for the big move :-)
Then it was back to packing... good thing she likes that laundry basket!

On You're Marks - Get Set - Start Packing!

We had a lot of showings for the house this past weekend so we held off on the packing to make sure the house still looked nice. We started packing today and began to realize that we have a lot of stuff!
Since Madeline just figured out how to creep, it's been a challenge to keep her out of trouble while we we pack.
So, the jumper and the laundry basket have really helped :-)
