A little funny

I worked in Austin again this week, and I was downtown at the Hilton, which had the best people watching.  I was relaxing in the lobby when I saw the valet bring in this cart with a paper sack and a watermelon.  I have no clue why it was so funny to me, but I just couldn't stop giggling.  I love watermelon, but I can't say I have ever brought one to a hotel.  I also saw some very interesting looking people.  The funniest one was a topless lady who was about 70 years old walking down Sixth Street with a cane.  Gotta love Austin!

Going to Nana's house

Our suitcase from the trip to meet Ally has been sitting in the floor for the past few days. I finally got around to emptying it out and putting it up today. Ryland helped me empty it pretty quickly by throwing all the stuff on the floor and jumping inside. After seeing this fun, Reed wanted in on the fun too. Both of them laughed hysterically while sitting in the empty suitcase.
I told them I was going to zip them up - Where do you want to go?
Ryland answered - Nana's house.
I thought this was so cute. We spent the next hour playing in the bedroom floor and talking about all the places we could go.

Ryland once again got in on the picture taking, by snapping this shot of Reed.

Saying goodbye

We finished moving the few last minute things out of the house today in the pouring rain. Of course we were completely drenched and worn out. All our of stuff is finally loaded, and our old home is empty.
Saying goodbye to our old place was sad, and I had to keep thinking about how great our new home will be. I just kept telling myself that I will love the new place even more.

Empty kitchen cabinets

The kitchen cabinets are finally empty, and Ryland was the inspector. He thought is was fun to climb in and have a drink.

Playing in boxes

Who needs toys when you can play in boxes? Another fun and entertaining night of packing.

Has anyone seen Ryland? Where did he go?

Packing begins

We spent most of the late afternoon and early evening at the title company. We needed to go ahead and sign all of the documents today before the purchaser traveled back home to England. It was very awkward meeting the person who is purchasing your home. She kept thanking us for selling our home to her. I was like, no thank you. We signed all the documents, and we will just wait on funding tomorrow.

Since all the documents were signed, we started packing the guest bedroom. It will be the easiest room to pack, and we plan on stacking all the boxes in this room as we go. We hope that this will keep the house somewhat normal until moving day comes.

Ryland couldn't figure out how to climb over the bed rail, so I showed him how to crawl under. He just had to be right there by my side to help.

He was so proud of himself, and he is happy to help pack all our stuff. The boxes and tape are a ton of fun.

Packing for trip

We all are heading to Louisiana this weekend, so we had to pack our stuff. I started folding and putting Ryland's things in the suitcase. I ran to the laundry room to grab a few things. When I returned I saw Ryland standing in the suitcase and the folded contents throw out on the floor. He was very proud of his accomplishment and grinned with pride.

After all the work of packing, what else could you want to do? Cooper decided to take a nap in the bathroom, and Ryland decided he would take a little rest as well. He plopped right down on Cooper.
