With the help of a few friends Mike managed to pack all of our stuff in the truck in just two days.
Several people came by to help load, help with babies as we worked away. Carl and Jim spent hours helping Mike load the big furniture, and Keith, Dorthe and Maya spent all of Tuesday helping us out. Thank you guys-- we couldn't have done it without you.
We sucessfully made the drive last night from Charleston to Downingtown PA. It was a long night but the boys slept for most of the time. It was eerie to see the cities at night as we made our way up the country-- D.C., Baltimore, and Wilmington. The drive went well, and we arrived on the doorstep of Mike's sister at 5:30 AM-- tired but THRILLED to have the drive completed.
After packing up the car we took one last trip to the Goodwill store down the street to make a donation. It was about a 2 minute drive. As we pulled into the parking lot James piped up: "Are we in Connecticut?!". Uuumm. No, buddy. Not even close.
We also heard word as we began the drive that my oldest sister Marilois went into labor. Check my middle sister Elizabeth's blog to see the photos.
We will continue to update about our move and supply photos of the new house when we arrive in Bloomfield, CT (on July 2nd).

Glad you arrived at Peg's safe and sound. Enjoy your weekend, wish we could be there.
BTW, the newest Campa is a cutie pie!
She's beautiful! My sister also gave birth the same day. What's the likelihood of that? Your sister isn't in Atlanta, is she?
isn't that cool! I knew they might when you said your sis went in, but wasn't sure if they hit on the same day. Our new baby was born in Valdosta, GA, not in ATL.
