Everything’s Up to Date in Kansas City
Posted By drsao on January 6, 2010
Yep – I spent part of my Christmas vacation helping my parents and my brother and SIL Fred and Elaine move into NEW side-by-side houses!
We did it in the snow and often single digit weather……now SNOW is one of my favorite things……

Despite the fact that the MOVERS cancelled 10 minutes before moving time – YES REALLY (because of the snow) – my brother, Jim, got a substitute mover at the last minute and my parents moved through all of this and were in good spirits! Here they are eating a gourmet lunch on a makeshift table DURING THE MOVE!!

We made it to the NEW HOUSE! It is beautiful and so much fun to have everything new and spacious!

My brother (Fred) SIL Elaine, and nephews, Eric and Joey, moved in next door. Here is Fred carrying Elaine over the threshold – they are celebrating their 31st Anniversary today – January 6!
Happy 31st Anniversary, Fred and Elaine!
It was actually kind of exciting moving in the snow at night…..but not the part when the moving truck actually got stuck in the snow. 🙂
Beautiful Night Snow.....
There was one other thing that wasn’t THEORETICALLY that exciting and I probably wouldn’t have been able to watch (except I had to take pictures!) Here is nephew Joey and three friends HOISTING A HEAVY SOFA over a railing to take downstairs!!!
They made it - but it was scary!
I think that my brother, Dan, might not have labeled the digging in the snow for the mailbox post exciting – but hey, we did make memories, didn’t we?
