Mostly Packed and Ready to Go

I've received some harassment for not posting any new pictures lately. I believe I have two fairly legitimate excuses. The first is that I have barely seen my daughter over the past two weeks long enough to snap any photos of her. The second is that when I have been home we have been busy, busy, busy. Hopefully this post will make up for lost time.
As most of you know we are leaving on the 15th for Provo. We've been busy packing up our townhome here in Helena and sorting things into the "stays in the trailer for the foreseeable future" pile and the "can we really fit that into the Edge?" pile that comes with us to Utah. We had a lot of helpers this weekend and that made it go much faster. And, as you can see from the pictures, it was a gorgeous weekend...perfect weather for...well, for anything but packing. Oh well. Here's our 32 foot trailer parked and ready for loading and then almost full by the end of the day. The pictures really don't do it justice, CK is a master at filling every last little bit of space.

Of course, our trailer luck is not good and this one is no exception. The crack below will have to be replaced before we can tow this to our friends' house for storage.For those of you who haven't made it out to visit here is what we've been calling home for the past 7 months. Ours is the 3rd one from the right.
And the garage (the open one).
As I said, we had lots of helpers this weekend. Below are some of the pictures:

Thanks also to Jen and Steve who must've been working too hard to make it into any of the pictures. Tomorrow I'm off to Portland to do some training for work. CK and Reese are going to drop off the trailer and then go find a real bed to sleep in for a few nights since all of ours are packed :). I'm home Friday night and then it's off to Provo on Sunday.
