    I just love how you're teaching your children: they're grounded in their faith, they're surrounded by animals, they are taught responsibility. Plus, and great Adventures using their imaginations. It's just wonderful. I was fortunate to have that too and I can tell you you appreciate it more as you get older. Erin, I love today's hairstyle it reminds me of the 1940s and it looks really good on you. I am can't wait to see your new adventures. Am so happy that you'll have an even bigger farm and home.

We packed up a small U Haul trailer and headed here with no place to live, a maybe on a job and having never set foot in this state. God opened all the doors in miracle after miracle! We look back almost 30 years and are still in awe. You we feel the same when you see all He will do in your lives as you step out in faith. Merry Christmas!

    That’s really great you have help to pack. I moved as well but barely did anything because I had back problems so my nearly 70 yr old mom had to do most of everything. It was hard to see her do everything. I was told strictly no lifting by my chiropractor. I ended up giving away most of my furniture and sold all my appliances so my parents wouldn’t lift them. Luckily I moved to a place where every appliance is provided.

    We moved to Florida two years ago, leaving all of my family behind also. My husband does have some family down here here but I had spent my whole life living in the same town or the town next to it so it was a big adjustment. I understand how you feel. It does still get hard sometimes, but in our experience, this has been such a great move for us. I hope you and Chad have a similar feeling. Once you get settled, I know for your safety you can’t share exactly where you’ll be but from how close you’ll be to Alyssa sounds like we may be in a similar area. Wishing you and the family a safe move and a not so difficult adjustment. Welcome to Florida!!

(just the 2 of us) While we have purged, there is still so much "stuff"! We are moving from Jacksonville FL. to Deland FL, It is about a 2 hour drive. We are near being 100% done.

    I agree with Kerrygold butter! It’s the best! I use sour cream instead of cream cheese, but I’ll bet your potatoes are wonderful!

    Such a sweet video. Such a beautiful family. And Erin you look stunning in that pink. Definitely your color. Hope you have a good move and everything turn out great. Merry Christmas!

    Wow, what a daunting task! Packing right in the middle of Christmas season. Looks like you've got plenty of help, though.
