Moving

So we packed up the house on Saturday evening. Sunday our stuff left for LaGrange and Monday after I woke up from working Sunday night, Jacob and I left our house in Avon for the last time to settle at my parents house in LaGrange. Michael followed us after his last day at Family Christian stores Tuesday. It was very sad to leave our house in Avon. We have so many memories there and loved our house, but we look forward to the adventures God has in store for us.
I have to tell you I wouldn't recommend packing and moving with a Toddler. While packing one morning, I found my son exploring.
this kinda looks like popcorn
Oh there is so many of these things
Poor Jacob, Michael and I felt like the worst parents the last couple days. After Saturday night, you could tell he was a little lost. Where were his things? Sunday he was spending time with Michael and pointed at the cupboard. When Michael open the cupboard, He just shook his head and said No. Michael proceeded to do this a couple more times, till Jacob just broke down and started crying. Michael said he didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to calm him down. This is very rare for Jacob, he has his moments but really he is a happy kid.
We are glad we are at Grandma and Grandpas, he adjusted well. I think it help that he was familiar with their house and of course all the toys and spoiling.
Michael and I then spend the last few days unpacking. It was very hot. Jacob was being watched by his uncle Brian and Grandpa and decided that he would find his own way to cool off. This is what we saw.
