last night in our Colorado house

it's been an interesting year. Cris has survived (and rocked!) being a full time stay at home dady for over a year now. I have survived my first year flying solo as an OB/GYN out of residency. It's been a good year, overall.

today we cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. and then packed. and then cleaned and cleaned and cleaned....jealous, aren't you?

Today we definately put to use our "secret weapon"....Grandma Stickley!!! I cannot tell you what a blessing it is to have her here for the last few days of moving out. She has spent the whole day entertaining the girls (who have been just a wee bit 'difficult', shall we say), along with cleaning bathrooms, microwaves, ovens, floors, and everything in between. i even learned all about the differences between regular and self cleaning ovens. :)

so, tomorrow the adventure starts....well, it is always an adventure around here, but i guess this particular adventure starts :) Everyone (except me!) loads up in the minivan and sets of for Grandpa and Grandma Stickley's farm...a mere 20 hours away :)
