We arrived in Charlotte in the late afternoon on Monday after being delayed in Atlanta. The truck was stuck in Chicago in the terrible storm there so the kids waited it out for a few days with us. Now that was hard to take! So when we arrived in NC the landlord stopped in and got the kids all situated and we then waited for the truck. It got there in the early evening and Bill, Stratton and Anna started unloading it while I watched Adeline. It was a tough job for me but someone had to do it. The hearth is just the perfect size for Adeline to back into and sit down. She loved sitting there!
The drive to NC went really well and Adeline did good too. Bill drove our van, Stratton drove the new Volvo, and Anna and I drove the wagon with Adeline. It took about 4 and a half hours to get there but we stopped for a good break at one point. I think it would normally be a 4 hour drive under most circumstances. Color me happy, it sure beats the trip to Utah.
The move was terrific. I can't say enough about ABF's You Pack. Anna said they were so nice in every way and it cost so much less then a u-haul. They dropped the truck off, we unloaded it, Anna called them and they picked up the truck the next morning easy schmeesy. Not to mention that they didn't have to drive a truck across the country in the dead of winter. It would have taken them forever since they hit really bad weather in Texas. Even in a car they had to drive 35mph much of the way due to ice and snow.
Piled stuff everywhere like a typical move. We managed to get it looking pretty good by the end of the next day. Anna got the kitchen and Adelines rooms done first then she started tackling the rest. She made short work of it and they are so lucky to have a good storage space in the attack. Lots of stuff went up there! By the time we left on Thursday morning it was looking like a nice comfy house. Can't wait to go back and visit and see the rest of it shape up. I know Anna and Stratton will love their new little house.

From all the moves I've made it looks like you have a little work ahead. Glad you were able to help the kids get settled. I'm sure they are glad too!! Keep busy.
