We have moved!

This was our temporary place
Auntie showed up to lend a hand
We are so thankful!
Everyone in front of our new front door. We love auntie.

It was a long, hard weekend but we are in. Sister- we could not have done it without you. THANK YOU!

Might be our last night here...

Couldn't get the truck. don't ask. We'll get it tomorrow. I am sure we could use the sleep anyway. I'd post a pic of where we have been staying but I packed my cable. Everything is in a box. wish us luck tomorrow.

packing...........again

We rent a truck today and close tomorrow at 10 am. We had fun last night in the park with lots of friends and neighbors. I'd show you some pictures but as I pulled out my camera to take the 1st one the battery died. sigh.
I am tired of packing!

and for a parting gift.....

Our truck was broken into. Thank you so very much. Sometimes I am VERY glad we are leaving. The crime is so old. Get a job and stop feeling like you have the right to take from someone else. IT IS OLD. AND PULL UP YOUR PANTS.







In happier news......
we had some friends over for pizza/movie night and played in the park
it's 'scooter girl'
Holden and John
We move in 5 days.

July 23 is the day

We close next Thursday! All is done and ready to go. The house appraised at more than we are paying so that is a nice little bonus! Let the repacking begin. Oh joy.

Sunday

We had a great time at dinner last night! All of our neighbors got together for a 'farewell' dinner and it was so nice. Tons of kids, food, and fun. We will really miss our neighbors. I forgot to bring my camera so no pics. Less than 2 weeks before we move. We are all excited and nervous and sad.

OH, it's Thursday...not Friday

O is growing so fast

one last pic on our steps.... 2 boys were sad, 1 boy was happy, and Cait was not sure
Cait really likes our new pantry....I found her here. She likes to climb

nope

We didn't get it and we were pretty bummed. We are living in the first story of an old sunday school building which is just a block or 2 from our old house. The closing went very smoothly. Strange not to be in our little house. We do have a contract on another house in Cumming. It's not the other house but it will be good.

still

crossing our fingers.

The bank's deadline is June 30.

Happy Father's Day

'wish I could go outside'

Piedmont Pool is

No news from the bank. ...they have until June 30 the respond.

packing, packing, and more packing

why not....

We call her 'mrs tiggy-winkle'
lunch?
"....first you take the graham......"

O watching the rain and trying to think of something 'fun' to do

step one...

The owners have 'accepted' our offer now we wait to hear from the bank. We are still packing like crazy. We had a potluck dinner tonight with 2 of our neighbors. Much fun. I don't want to leave.

no time to blog

I have been packing like mad. We close June 30. We made an offer on a house and it was rejected. We made a new offer on another house yesterday. We have some friends who rent out the bottom 1/2 of their house so we will stay there until we have a permanent home. Fun times.

guess where we were...

He doesn't look that big in this picture but he was HUGE! I took this pic when Cait and I were out for a morning bike ride. Right after we took this pic he looked at us and swam on over, about 3 feet from us, opened his huge mouth and 'roared' .......a lot. Scared Cait and me to death. Never have I pedaled so fast. After we were a safe distance away we turned around and saw a smaller alligator cross the path behind us. After talking to the ranger we think he was making a mating call and the smaller one was a female. A little scary.

We had 8 wonderful days at the beach. We took a much needed break from reality. The first 2 days are a blur. Lots of tag-team napping from the parents. We are still potentially home-less! I want to go back to the beach. Reality is not very fun.

Bill- wish we could live on love. How big do boxes come? String 6 together? hmmmm
