It's about time (Part 2)

Two days after Christmas we returned to Greensboro to pack up the rest of our house for storage. We forgot to take pictures of the move out of the house, but we wanted to say THANK YOU again to John P (and little Emma), Stan, Michael, and Danny who helped load the truck in Greensboro.

We were greeted in Laurinburg by an eager group of family who helped us unload the whole thing in just over an hour (not too shabby considering it was a 26 foot truck). Thanks to Dad and Brenda,, Mom and Larry, Uncle Joe and Aunt Pauline, and Danny and Carolyn.

We were blessed with a great deal on a storage shed and Kasey's Dad and Stepmom were kind enough to offer to put the building in their backyard. Getting the shed ready was a family affair. Here is Tim, Dad, and Blake (our nephew) adding insulation and plastic to the walls. Morgan (our niece) wanted in on the painting fun. They did a great job!

A yard sale and two truck loads to Goodwill and we still have all this stuff? It was a cold night to unload the truck, but our family graciously sacrificed their backs for a greater good. Brenda's chili was a good motivator as well.

After two weeks of strenuous labor, were were blessed with a few relaxing days with Tim's Dad and Stepmom at their Bed & Breakfast on Amelia Island, Florida. We were treated to a New Years Eve carriage ride around Historic Fernandina Beach. We had a great time catching up, watching movies, and helping Dad and Deborah take down some Christmas decorations.

So much for warm Florida! Sweaters and jackets were required as the nighttime temps dipped into the low 30's.

Deborah makes great breakfasts for their B&B and we were fortunate enough to get a taste each morning. Here we are enjoying our last breakfast before starting the long drive west to Colorado.

It's about time (Part 1)

So we are a little behind in updating our blog. It's been a little over a month and whew, what a month it has been. We thought we would bring you the last month in pictures so you can see what we have been up to. There is so much to cover we broke the last month into two parts. Part one covers December up to Christmas day...

Big tummy contests (Lorin won by a nose. Or maybe it was an arm. Baby Will is due on Jan 20)

Visit to see an old friend and her growing family that was LONG overdo. Luke (on the left) wrestled Tim into submission. He's a future state champion. Mark my words.

How many McCutchens does it take to slice a turkey? Julie (Tim's sister) is due with baby Beam #2 in March. We were able to spend the night with Julie, her husband Scott, daughter Addison, and dog Buster on our drive to Colorado as well. What a treat to see them twice over the holidays!

Kasey getting caught up with the latest V-Tech and Nintendo DS video games. We had a pajama party Christmas night with Kasey's mom and stepdad, her brother Frank, his wife Christina and their boys Hayden (L) and Caleb (R). The boys were excited to teach Aunt Kasey their moves.
