I'll have to try those zip-locks, Martha--they sound like a great idea. <BR/><BR/>Amy, we have a great source for boxes at a nearby publishing house--book boxes are all the same "just right" size. We'll check check the liquor stores for taller boxes, tho, when needed. Will keep you in mind for the packing...any time! Bring the little one and come on over!<BR/><BR/>Sarah, it's been so great to see Steve, except it makes me miss you and your family more! MAYBE, next time you're heading to OshKosh, you can stop in Kenosha!<BR/><BR/>Kathryn--Again, thanks so much for your willingness and intentionality about praying for us! It means SO much.<BR/><BR/>JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-74671276170946073082007-04-24T22:39:00.000-05:002007-04-24T22:39:00.000-05:00Congratulations on all your parts! You are going ...Congratulations on all your parts! You are going to make so many blessed memories together!<BR/><BR/>Have you ever tried packing in those super huge zip-loc bags? The largest are big enough to store a large comforter. They are usually found at the grocery store beneath the regular zip-locs. Anyway, they are so simple to fill up with soft items. To save space, you can fill them, zip the seal almost completely, squeeze the air out, then finish zipping them. If you need to make sure they stay sealed during extensive jostling, you can fold duct or packing tape over the top. They are not super cheap, but they can be reused, are particularly good for future storage in the attic or basement because, unlike cardboard boxes, they do not absorb moisture or odors.<BR/><BR/>Boy, can you tell I really like these things?<BR/><BR/>Selfishly, I'd rather have you stay right where you are. But I know better than to get in God's way, so blessings on you all. We look forward to visiting your "promised land".<BR/><BR/>mrsbmarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164689050291726804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-15497665180655747432007-04-24T12:18:00.000-05:002007-04-24T12:18:00.000-05:00So much exciting news!!

Steve is so excited to see all of you and hopefully he can catch you up on all of us--your Godson especially. I/we are praying how I could get out there for a few days and help you with your packing--I would LOVE to! And you'll be moving so close to my family in Oshkosh... Anyways, give STeve a hug from me tonight. Wish I could be there with him to see you.<BR/><BR/>Love, <BR/>SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-67474730005641685512007-04-23T11:36:00.000-05:002007-04-23T11:36:00.000-05:00Yeeha, again, on the casting!I think we have some ...Yeeha, again, on the casting!<BR/><BR/>I think we have some boxes you can borrow when you get to the household goods (since we'd need them back). <BR/><BR/>For other box sources, I don't know what size items you have to pack, but I've always had good luck with liquor boxes for books and small things. They are nice and sturdy, but not too big. Plus, they make your friends laugh on moving day.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you want some packing help, let me know. I have lots of experince after moving homes 17 times.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865645292824953080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-37656554796802529652007-04-23T11:00:00.000-05:002007-04-23T11:00:00.000-05:00wow, great news about the narnia play!
