10 DAYS=A "big truck", a wedding, and a funeral

It has been forever since I have posted, we have been very busy and have lots of fun stories and pictures to share:) We are moved, I would say the move was pretty seamless, just a ton of work. We had some good friends come and help us and with then all there were more children so we had 5 children under 3 "helping" us move, they were very well behaved and really loved the "big truck". They all wanted to ride in it and drive it, we took them to sit in it and they all took turns pretending to drive. We made the move on a Thursday night, odd day to move but was the best for us, on Friday we went to the old place and cleaned and did all the finishing touches while the kids went to spend the day with their friend Aliyah, Then on Sat we started the unpacking. (We are still unpacking somehow) Then the next Saturday we went to a wedding, a family wedding that was beautiful, the reception took place on a river boat that cruised down the Potomac, the cherry blossoms were at their peek at the time and it was awesome. We went without the kids and it was a nice treat for Stephan and I. Then on Sunday I had to fly to Florida, My uncle suddenly passed away from heart failure. Just Lucy and I went and spent three days bringing baby joy to all the relatives. Having my uncle die so suddenly was very awakening to think that you can not prepare for everything and to think how close in age he is to my parents. Lucy soaked up all the attention she could get and relished being an only child temporarily. We are back now and close to unpacked and getting everything someone organized, expect more posts soon:)
