Over the last couple weeks, Seth has had a pretty easy schedule at the hospital to end his internship. He’s been on ophthalmology which has been a cake walk compared to ICU and medicine. Since he’s had half-days and weekends off we were able to get most of the packing done before Seth’s parents came with the truck and trailer from Clear Lake to pick us up.
It’s so crazy to think we’ve been here a year. Levi has grown up so much in this year, and Seth has learned so much and been through so much. And, we’ve found out we’re having another baby during our year here. That didn’t come out too clearly….we found out in Fargo, but she’s coming in October! :)
It was pretty tough packing with a 1 1/2 year old running around pulling things out of boxes as we’re putting them in! Definitely different than packing a year ago with a 5 month old in the house!
With Seth’s parents, one of his co-interns and a friend from church, we were able to get all the heavy stuff into the trailer in one night!
The next day we went to church and some dear friends from Bethel took us to the country club for brunch. It was so delicious and Levi even got his own plate of french toast! We got all the little stuff that takes forever packed up and were able to go to bed that night knowing everything was done except cleaning in the morning.
We checked out with the ladies at our apartment complex and got on the road by about 11:00. Grandma and momma and Levi road in the Pacifica together, Grandpa manned the truck and trailer minus the right side mirror, and Seth took the Lumina. Every vehicle was jam-packed full of stuff. I can’t believe how much stuff we have.
Levi did so well on the road. Grandma read him books, he looked out the window and was just generally a happy guy. We pulled into Clear Lake about 7 hours later. So happy to be done with the packing, loading, and the long drive! We’ll be here about a week and then we close on our house in Coralville.
Here’s a shot showing how long and wavey Levi’s hair has gotten. He got a haircut today, but we don’t have any ‘after’ pictures yet. Check back soon!
