The End of an Era

So, we're officially gone from Minnesota and because of the move are very behind on our blog. Here are some catch-up pictures on the fun (and very busy) wrapping-up weeks in the frozen north. Ian is getting into more and more things lately and here he is pulling movies and toys all around him. He also loves the stairs, so here's a clip of his antics by one of his favorite "toys".
This move we decided to sell almost all of our large furniture on Craigslist instead of moving it again. In some cases it worked a little too quickly (our bed was gone within 3 hours of posting and we had to sleep on air mattresses for two weeks). Here someone is carting off our couch (yes, it was this hideous under the cover). They really tried to fit it in the back of this car and then very nimbly tied it on the roof. We enjoyed observing from our window.
Cute Ian and Justin after our last Sunday in our ward.
Ian now has a full mouth of teeth - eight and counting!

Oh the joys of crawling under things! Here's our boy under the table...
and crawling through chairs.
Justin and Rachel had to get at least one more sledding trip in before the move so they bundled up and had a blast outside.

They also made it to the Aquarium at the Mall of America. Rachel loved the day and her favorite things were the rays.
She was really brave this trip and touched one of the sharks. She got a sticker to prove it and will still tell us about her courageous act!
Don't worry, the shark she touched wasn't this big!

The night before their trip one of the sharks attacked another, so it was an exciting day at the Aquarium for the workers too!
