Our Last Days At Wood Point

Our last Sunday at our beloved little church was filled with tears and hugs. All the girls were given gifts that they loved.

                                      Elin opening her gift with all her sisters' help.

                             Ryan and I were presented with a painting of the view from our home for the last 7 years.

                                   

                                                              Elin spending time with some of her favorite people, and her new toy!!

                                                  Elle and Adrianna, her" bestest" friend in the whole world!!

                                           Our last day at our home in Wood Point. Things were quite a mess and boxes everywhere. The girls were watching a movie on the laptop so I could get some uninterrupted packing done.

                                               Well after a very adventurous day, which included dropping Emily off to Bible camp for her first time , leaving the laptop computer in the rooftop carrier which wasn't properly closed, subsequently mourning the loss of that same laptop after it made a very unfortunate acquaintance with the blacktop, and a very messy round of car sickness for Elin, we were on our way to our new ,recently purchased home. Mom and Dad were going to take the 3 little ones to their place for the week, so Ryan, I and Terry my brother-in-law could paint and get the house move in ready. We were within 10 minutes of  our house and our awaiting hot supper,compliments of Mommy and Daddy who had the house all opened up for us, when the van sputtered and stopped. Ryan, in the midst of all the stress and excitement of the day, had forgotten to watch the gas gauge, and for the very first time ever, we ran out of gas on the highway!!!  Thankfully, a call to Mom and Dad, and for them a trip to our new neighbors, the gas station down the road, then a drive on the highway to meet us us,remedied the problem. So here is Ryan awaiting our rescue!

                                                        Elle enjoying the in-van movie while we waited!

                                         Eva hanging out watching for Grampie and Grammie to arrive. We had spotted them on the divided highway coming from the other direction, and had to wait for them to get to the next exit, and then get on our highway.  The long suffering Terry....probably longing for the comforts of his home and family right about now!!

                                             At long last our rescue!!

                                              Still smiling!!!
     We did arrive and thus began a crazy paint filled week...counting down to moving day..
