The big move

It was so sad to say good-bye to our kitties. We left them with my sister in Idaho :( I miss them already. You can tell from these pictures how cool they are. Oliver uses a pillow and Leroy wears a cape!! You all had your chance to adopt them.

On Tuesday, the day of the move, my mom came over and took care of Carter while we loaded up our trailer. It was hard to say good-bye to her.
A final farewell to our house. It was pretty sad to see our first home empty.
We hit the road as it started to rain... very poetic.
We spent Tuesday night in Boise with Dennison's Uncle Joe. We unhooked our trailer and left it in their driveway. Wednesday morning we headed up to McCall to see my brother and sister. My sister's little kids LOVE Dennison, as you can see.
Carter and his cousin Briar at my Brother Scott's house. Aren't they so cute with their blankets and binkys?
This was at a motel in good ol La Grand, Oregon on Thursday night. We had planned on spending the night in Pendelton so we made a non-refundable reservation at a hotel there. Well, we didn't quite make it that far. Nearing the top of a pretty big hill, our little trooper gave out. All the oil had leaked out of the engine and left us high and dry. A nice policeman stopped and called a tow truck for us. The worst part: we had to pay for two hotel rooms but only used one.
The next morning, we were told it would take at least a week to fix our poor car. We really didn't want to stay in La Grand for that long so we had to walk across town with our overnight bags and our Carter to get a HUGE moving truck (it was the only one they had). We then transfered all our stuff from our uhaul trailer to the moving truck and then rented a trailer to pull our broken down car behind us.
And we were finally on our way! Again! Carter loved it because he got to sit right in between us instead of in the boring back seat. And we finally made it to our destination. We found an apartment the next day, thanks to Lindsay and April for driving us around. Then got a rental car so we're on our way!!
