What a crazy busy next two weeks we're going to have. We found out that in addition to packing and moving next week, we also need to paint the new house and install all the flooring. Sweat equity is great, except when it all happens at once! I'm taking tomorrow off work and all next week to help Kris get it done. But what are we going to do with Annika! We can't find anybody to help tomorrow until 5pm when Auntie Krystle gets off work. We'll be spending most of the day getting supplies and doing prep work so it shouldn't be too bad. Then Auntie Krystle can watch Annika Saturday and Sunday for us and my brother Uncle Mathias is going to help us paint both days. I'm not sure about Monday, the 4th. I think Grandpa Dan can help watch Annika that day. And next week, our friend Jon is going to help Kris with floors. Jon is a teacher and is off for the summer. If he can help Kris, I can watch Annika and Jon's two kids, Salix and Acer. Oh, and our PODS container is being delivered Wednesday, the 6th, so we'll need to pack that up next week/weekend so we're all moved out by the week of the 11th. We don't have a firm closing date yet on the townhome but we know it's going to be that week sometime. We'd like to be out by Monday, if possible. Yeah, we have a lot to do in the next two weeks. I worry about Annika and how she'll handle it all. Thank God Auntie Krystle can help this weekend. She has babysat for Annika more than anyone else so I'm very comfortable leaving Annika with her. Maybe I'm more worried about me and how I'll handle hardly seeing my baby this weekend. I'm going to miss her!

Auntie Krystle is also coming over tonight to play with Annika while I pack. We have a ton of empty boxes at home (although still not enough) and I'm hoping to get a ton packed tonight. I can't wait until it's all done and we're in the new house.
