Moving and Farewell to Dixie

So here I am playing catch up once again. I thought I'd better put some pictures up of the moving process. Packing in Vancouver was pretty amazing but everything got here to Logan safely and we are in the process of de-junking and getting it all into a much smaller house. 


Ben was our expert packer
Lunch break with all the crew. We had wonderful help from family and friends in Vancouver. It was great! Thank you everyone!
Here's the shed still full of all our stuff!
And our amazing back yard. Joseph got up early and took advantage of the warmer weather for one last juggle with the soccer ball. We are really going to miss that space! We were blessed.


We made the long trip home with Dixie who was finally going to enjoy life with the family again. We were so excited to have her back! She spent a few nights with a friend and then we signed on the house and we all started the move in process. Mom and I went and picked up Dixie at our friend's house and she was so excited to be going home. She explored the house and spent one great night on a new dog pillow. The next day, while I was at work and the family was moving stuff in, Dixie got out somehow and got hit by a car and died. It was a huge damper on the move. We were so happy to finally have a home and have her back. I think we all realized just how much she meant to all of us. We will miss her. We have since adopted a new dog from the pound. Pictures will follow.
Here's the new home!

Some painting had to occur first. We spent two days painting the whole interior! Goodbye white walls, hello color! It looks beautiful.

So there's the new home. We have now been living here almost three weeks and it feels like home. We still have a garage full of boxes to sort but it will happen and in the mean time we are in awe at God's hand in this family's life. We are so blessed!
