Hi All,
We're set to move at the end of the month. Movers come for an early shipment of stuff on Monday with the rest being picked up next week. The first shipment will be basic necessities...aero bed, pots/pans, some dishes, some clothes etc. Basically what we'd need to survive.
Friends we have in CO are lending us baby stuff like a high chair and related stuff which will lighten our airliner load significantly. We already dropped off a duffle bag of winter clothes when we were there last week. They have a month to get our stuff there but I don't think it'll take that long.
The current plan, subject to change, is we fly off the island on Aug 27th. We'll be working out a direct flight to Denver so we don't have to worry about switching flights with the dogs. It's an issue in itself but when you add in the summer heat, not a good idea. Naturally, wrestling with the AF approvals requires extra work since we won't fly directly to C-Springs.

Walking
Caroline's walking abilities are improving with each day. I'll admit it's pretty funny watching her walk after she wakes up from a nap - balance isn't there. Once she's awake, she's pretty confident. The video below was taken this week in our back yard. The trip you see is about the 4th lap to the gate and back.
New House
Hi all,
Our househunting trip was successful. After seeing nearly 30 houses in 2.5 days, we put in an offer which was accepted. The house is in a town called Peyton CO located east of Colorado Springs. We walked away with a great deal, tt had everything we wanted and is only a 15 min ride to work for me.
If you want to look at the details and a virtual tour, the details are at the links below. We literally double the living area compared to our present house, get a very nice plot of land for the dogs to run around and (really important) a huge garage that'll handle our cars and probably a guest's as well! No more digging the car out of the snow after a storm. For visitors, we'll have 2 guestrooms. So you don't have to wait, here's a picture of the house.
FYI, Caroline did a great job and didn't get too upset despite getting in/out of the car every 20 min. She did have a mild meltdown the night before we left but with all that went on and having 2 new teeth coming in, no big deal.
