I didn't. I was homeschooled :)
So, I guess this is my chance! Thanks by the way, Natasha, for the picture locating tip. I knew there had to be a better way!
First big news of the summer.............drumroll, please..........we moved!!! That's probably not a big surprise to my blog readers; most of you probably knew months ago. But now you get to see some pictures and hear the story. Or read the story. Whatever.
We knew when we moved into our little house (just before Cade was born) that we'd eventually want to move somewhere bigger. Fast forward four years, add three children, and we were feeling a little cramped. We decided to "test the market" and put our home up for sale, and were actually surprised to sell it in only five weeks! After putting a contract on a house not too far away (OK, 30 minutes away,) we began the fun process of packing.
Ryland wanted to make sure I didn't forget to pack him!
Better not forget the baby either! He asked me to put her in there with him!
Here are the boys helping Daddy fix a few things after the inspection.
Once moved out, we had about two weeks to kill before we could move into the new house, so we went on vacation. We visited Chris' parents and went to the coast for the kids first chances to fish and to go to the beach! These first pictures are technically before we went on vacation, but they're representative of summer fun, so here you go.
We love swimming at Miss Angela's house!
It was Maylee's first time to swim!
I love this picture...
And this one...
Cade was really brave that day. He would later get a little more scared of the water.
We also had a lot of fun swimming and fishing at the coast with Chris' parents and aunt and uncle.
1st time at the beach!
We all caught plenty of fish, but Mama got the biggest one of the trip. Check out this mammoth!
The kids all caught their first fish...even Maylee!
After returning from the trip, we prepared to close on the house (this is where the pictures end; we're having some transfer issues.) But, surprise! The incompetent appraiser couldn't get our paperwork right and we ended up with another week to kill. Praise God for generous friends who took us in for an entire week! Cade was not a bit upset. After all, how many 4 year olds get to live with their best friend for a week?
