2 weeks after Brady's 1st Birthday party, Charlie had to go to Orlando for a training for work and we had to be officially out of the Wrigley House by August 15th so Bob and Sue decided to come help us. We hired 2 Men and a Truck to move all the big stuff which actually happened back on Monday July 29th but there was lots of little stuff that the movers left behind. Life was very hectic for a few weeks, one of us would pick Brady up from daycare after work and then one of us would go over to the Wrigley house and load up the car with the clothes and stuff that was left behind. However, each time we have moved we always say...we just have way too much stuff. So when Bob and Sue got up here on Sunday August 11th, we had just 4 days to get the remaining stuff out of the house. I'm sure they were thinking "oh how bad could it be, the movers already took most of the stuff"...but little did they know how much stuff we really had. Bob and Sue did such a great job getting all the stuff out and cleaning the place up alittle bit and then even helping organize the new place. We are so thankful to have such nice parents.
Brady quickly found the stairs in the new place and tried to climb them.
On Friday, Katie got to take a day off of work to unpack and get organized but before she could do anything around the house, she needed some Brady time, so her and Grandma Carico went to the zoo in morning. On Friday mornings in the summer, the Lincoln Park Zoo has a "Story-time" where they have a guy with a guitar play funny kids songs and Brady just loves the music. After story-time, they dropped Brady off at daycare and got a lot of organizing/unpacking done back at the house.
Even though it was very hectic and stressful, we are very happy in the new place. We have much more space (3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms) and we can walk to several baby friendly restaurants.
