Happenings at the Lowe House

We have only about 2 more weeks left here in Buna. I have not yet started packing. I guess that I am procrastinating. It's just so hard to realize that is actually time to pack up the house (sniff, sniff). But I have been throwing away stuff. Lots of stuff. And I'm going to go at it again today...




Also, Levi has been very sick this week with a stomach virus. Out of our almost 8 years of parenting, I think that this is the worst that I have seen any of my children. I also think that Jeff and I have a touch of it as our stomachs have been kinda yucky lately, too. Just as long as we don't get the full blown virus that Levi had. He is doing better. I am up to giving him about an ounce of liquid every 30 minutes to keep him hydrated. He's not yet eating but is up playing with his sisters.


So, next week - I will actually try to begin packing. We have 700 cubit feet of space in which to pack/crate. So, we are limited by space, not weight. That means all areas will be packed in - such as our fridge, dryer, stove, box springs, chest of drawers. We have to fill every available space to get it all in. We are going down to Houston on Monday to buy our large appliances at an International Appliance sore then on Tuesday, I'm going shopping (Look out!!!) so - yikes! - that means that I won't actually start packing until Wednesday. Oh well, nothing like a deadline (April 13) to get you going!!!

Here is a picture of 200 cubic feet. So basically, we will have 3 and a half of these. You can kind of get an idea of how big it is by the person standing next to it. So that's that!
