Zoo, Minnehaha, Packing

Bernhard & Ilse arrived from Germany. Michael is totally bezerk about Opa & Oma visiting. Totally. Gregor is over the fearful uncertainty about these new people.

I'm beginning to panic at the sight of the empty boxes in the living room.

We (minus Peter) were at the zoo today. B&I got a chance to see some native animals on the Minnesota Trail. Michael got to sit on the tractor at the family farm. Definitely the last thing to let him do, since you'll never get him off. Yup, I know we were there 10 days ago. The boys are fine with that. It's a nice walk and exercise for me.

We (plus Peter) went walking along the Minnehaha trail on Saturday.

Yes, Minnehaha is a real name. As is Minnetonka & Minneapolis & Minnesota.

tomorrow B&I are taking the boys all day, so that I can reduce my panicked state about the empty boxes.

Definitely will be in front of the TV at 7 p.m. local time on Saturday. Go Wings.

Remember, moving is FUN. In the grand scheme of things, there are so many other things that are far, far worse....

On the other hand, when one is in the middle of something, and it's not going as planned, than it can be utterly maddening, frustrating, und abscheulich. Then in that moment, it is absolutely the worst thing on earth.

A suggestion: in the week after the move, go get a massage. Even if it's only the back. Your muscles will thank you....
