Move Day 1 - Packing & Air Shipment

The movers arrived this morning! What a whirlwind, trying to make sure we have everything we need to take on the plane...and then what we want to have on the air shipment...because everything else will be 6+ weeks getting to us. As anyone who has had professional movers knows, when they arrive and get started, there is no time to rethink things, change your mind, etc. It all happens SO fast! I feel like the day was a total blur.

So now almost everything going with us is at my sister's house (where we're staying now that our beds are packed up) and the air shipment stuff is gone. And I've only had one major screw up - Nathan's stuffed puppy and pillow pets went in the air shipment boxes instead of being kept out for us to take on the plane. (There goes my Mother of the Year Award!) Tonight he was ok...when I told him that puppy and his pillow pets had been so excited that they jumped ion the air shipment, he looked at me and said "no, they got packed up in the boxes". My little guy is growing up WAY to fast! Hopefully he'll be so excited about all the new stuff in Switzerland that the 10 days will fly, but I feel SO badly!

Tomorrow they'll finish packing up the house and a 40' shipping container will be dropped off in our driveway for them to start loading. Way more fun than a big old truck ;-)
