Dear Dad, Mom, Tonya, Lydia, Nathan, Jenna and Elise



We are so glad you came to help us move in:)



We all started off at 5am on August 13th... Destination Roach, MO






Dad, Mom, Jenna and Elise were in the Astro van, followed by Dylan and Nathan in the Budget truck, with Tonya, Lydia, Raquel and I bringing up the rear.



Here's Mom keeping Raquel occupied while we unloaded the truck in the 107 degree heat- it was the hottest day so far, however the next two days beat that record as we experienced the joy of misery errr, I mean Missouri in August:)



Nice Lyds



Where's Raquel?



Everyone pitched in with unpacking, setting up, putting together, watching Raquel, doing laundry etc. etc. It was a HUGE help! Now we are settled in and looking forward to visitors:)





By the time we got done, I think that Raquel decided that the only way to get her parents to pay any attention to her was if she was inside a box. This is how we found her one night.

ok, gee, I don't think I meant that you should display grotesque pictures of the darling's favorite aunt- I just wanted pictures of her and her parents. Well, thanks for the updates. Have a nice day
