Stuart and I had a very busy day on Wed 7/24.  Once we dropped off the kids at schools in the morning, we arrived at the title company to sign off the final paperwork for selling our house.  We then rushed home to get ready for the movers and do more packing.  The movers arrived as planned, and they immediately jumped in and started moving our boxes and furniture.  Stuart and I had color-coded all the items, and they loaded up the ones to the apartment first.  We all drove to the apartment and unloaded.  Then we returned home for the second half.  We took a short break for lunch, then they loaded up the remaining of our big items and boxes and moved them to the storage.  After almost 5 hours of hard work, the move was completed, and we were pleased with the work they had done.  Stuart and I cleaned up just a little bit more, then it was time to get ready to pick up the kids from schools.  We had dinner out, and afterward we picked up Scottie from the house and all moved into the apartment together. 

    Scottie seems to like the new place; he explored every corner of the apartment immediately, then settled in on the couch with us in the evening.  He has been eating fine and has not cried much at all.  He likes looking outside through the windows.  We have a nice view of trees, the lake and the hill.  The boys liked the apartment too; Connor kept referring to it as “the hotel”.  The boys have been doing fine not being too loud and being respectful to our neighbors.  They bathed well as usual, then I read to both of them together at bedtime.  They had learned the new routine of reading together with Daddy while I was away, so the transition was easy.  The first night here was the very first time for the boys to share a room together by themselves.  Logan did very well falling asleep quickly and stayed asleep despite the noises Connor was making on the first night.  Connor took over an hour to finally fall asleep.  We had to pay him several visits in the room; he whined and talked so loud at times.  The next morning, right at 6:35, we saw the two little guys coming to our room.  Logan was so proud to tell us that he woke up with the “Bunny clock” and that he woke Connor up too.  The next couple of nights they both went to sleep well as usual again.  We are very pleased how well the boys adjusted to the new place and the new routine.
