Adventures in Auburn

The day finally came for our family to pack up and move to Auburn.  The movers came and packed us up in a flash of 2 days.  Then on the night before we left town, all of our neighbors came over for an impromptu get together.  It was spontaneous, fun, and such the perfect way to end our time in Starkville.  
The actual drive to Auburn was really slow and a little hard because of the young baby. It was this day that we learned that our newest little guy does NOT love his car seat! It took us roughly 6 1/2 hours to make the trip. But we did it! 
 
We arrived on Saturday and camped out in our new house until the movers arrived on Monday with our things.  It's funny because this all occurred less than 2 months ago, but it's already such a foggy memory...I think we were maybe a little more stressed than I felt at the time. After all, we did have a 5 week old baby and just moved our family of 6 to a new town where we knew no one! But st the same time it was stressful it was also super fun and adventurous. 
The first few weeks in Auburn started off really fun and exciting! Dan did not start work until October 3rd so we had a couple of weeks to get adjusted to life in our new town and our new place.  The kids started their new school on Wednesday of our first week. 
 
We were all thrilled with their new schools! 
We also visited the park a couple of times and even got Will started playing lacrosse. Ha! We don't waste anytime! 
  
And the boys even went to an Auburn football game. 
 
 
June started school at St. Michael's on the sane day Dan started work at Auburn University.   
 
And just like that, the Whatleys were now residents of Auburn and taking it by storm.
