We're here in Chicago! We left Saturday after 2:00PM to get my hair cut by my cousin Marcy. When we hit the road again I-80 was closed so we had to go up towards Ogden. Grrrr... After driving through the night, short breaks, and stopping for church we made it here Sunday just before 10:00 PM. Glad that's behind us.
Now it's Tuesday, we have the internet but no stuff. It was suppose to get here today or tomorrow and it's coming tomorrow around 1 or 2 o'clock. In the mean time we are pretty bored. Chris and I have good books to read but the problem is we have an empty house so that means entertaining the kids! We've shopped a bit and done as much as we can to get ready for our stuff to arrive. I'm glad it's tomorrow. I'm ready for my bed instead of an air matress that just Chris and I can sleep on (Jared's been sharing with us and Spencer's been in a port-a-crib). And we're definitely ready for our kitchen stuff and more importantly chairs and couches!!!
Jared has been excited to move to Chicago and has been asking to go for a couple months. On the way here he was really excited but part way through decided he wanted to go back and see his cousin Katie. Today we went to the zoo and before he went he asked if he could go with Grace (the last time we went to the zoo it was with her and her family). I think he's in need of some kid interaction. Oh, and he woke up this morning crying for Baillie. He loves the place but we know he misses familiar faces.
Just a quick update!

Katie has asked about Jared every day since you've left. She hasn't grasped the concept that he's FAR away.
I'm so sorry about your stuff, however, I'm sure your happily putting away as I type...
