Our home

So, the after pictures are finally here. I thought I'd wait until the house was tidy, but that is never going to happen so...

The kids are so quiet, isn't this nice?

Famous last words of many parents...

We had some fabulous friends over for Memorial Day. The day was wonderful in our new house, we enjoyed the screened in porch and grilled brats and hot dogs. The kids had so much fun playing in our large yard while we enjoyed being together. The oldest said to get the camera and take a picture of them. We had no idea exactly what they were up to - up until then they had just been chasing each other around the yard.

You should know that Matt & I are not terribly good with messy. We try, but in the end we like the kids to keep the house free from mud and dirt. No sticky fingers please, etc.

But, the big smiles on their faces did soften the blow. :)

Pictures from Moving Day

Yes - we made it!

There were days when I thought we'd be camping out at the storage unit with our items. Or perhaps getting all our things to the house and then making the kids move it in. But, God is so faithful and again provided the impossible. We had help to move in, happy kids and a home that was ready for us. And the kids loved helping us clear out the storage unit.

Our temporary housing hosts became as close as family to us and gave of themselves beyond what we could have ever imagined. We are so thankful for them.

Here are some pictures from moving day...
