Brody and his cousins devouring courtesy cones from Arctic Circle!
So these past few days have been crazy...we've been packing up our house! Our good friend Scott found us 80 boxes to put everything in..so we've been going to town pack'n away! My mom and neighbor Kim have been real troopers...they've been helping me blitz it through each room...we've just about got every room packed in boxes...now we just have to move everything...I hope we didn't pack the boxes to heavy! I didn't realize how hard it would be to leave our actual house. There are so many memories that we've already made just in four short years! This is the house where we brought both our babies home...the same home where Brody took his first steps...where we had our first Christmas as a married couple... planted our first trees...where Jocelyn first smiled...Brody made his first friends...where he learned how to make a snowman! I think the hardest part about leaving...is losing our sweet neighbors...they've become kind of like a second family...especially during these hard times...So yes...it's tough leaving...but it's the next step...I've just got to remember to keep our eye on the goal...everyday is another step towards Independence as a family!

Michelle,
I knew this sign was going to come up but I hate it:)... we are going to miss seeing you outside as we go on our little walks or bike rides! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help... we can help move boxes, clean, mow the lawn, watch your children, bring some food... you name it and we will do it. We love you!
Elodie and family!

Michelle,
I can't believe you are moving. It almost made me cry to know that you are moving. I am just amazed with all the faith and how you have pressed forward. I have always looked up to you and your husband. Thanks for being such great people. I will always love you and miss you.
