Taking a Break from Packing

I'm not sure how many of you know, but we have sold our house and we are moving....about ten minutes into town.  Our new house will have an Edwardsville address instead of Glen Carbon.  The house we found is perfect for our family and even has some room if we decide to add a few more Purcells to the mix later on.  We close in a couple of weeks, so we have been scrambling to pack and organize all of our stuff.  Nolan and Carter are finding old toys they didn't even know they had and have been playing with them.  It's almost like Christmas all over again!

Bill and I do not like to keep things lying around, so we have thrown away quite a bit and we are donating a lot more to Goodwill.  Nolan has been helping pack as well.  He likes to help me label the boxes.

 Ambidextrous? 

Lately our house has been a total disaster, so Nolan has been a crazy man running around all the boxes.  The other night, Bill and the boys were taking a break from packing and I decided to snap a few pictures.  Of course, Bill has to bust out the wrestling moves on Nolan.  I cannot wait until Nolan is big enough to take Bill down!!

Carter busted out his plank!!  Ever since Carter has been strong enough to hold his head up, when he is lifted into the air he will hold his body stiff as a board.  I couldn't take the picture fast enough to catch Carter perfectly straight, but these pictures are close enough.  Nolan wanted to do the plank too, but was too ticklish to stay straight.  Daddy was able to work out his arm muscles as well.
