The last few months really have got away from me. I am determined to better update...from now. The news is we moved. What a few weeks...with all the end of year stuff for all 3 kids in school, as well as all of Brandon's end of school stuff. Also, I did 3 births in a weekend, taught a weekend class and 3 daytime classes another week. Also did a mother blessing up in Sacramento. All fun things just slightly overwhelming on the cusp of a move. Then Brandon had a test to take, and we moved. All within the space of 3 weeks or so. It has been crazy. Thanks to the help of our dear families, we have survived. It was getting pretty dire for a while though. On top of the normal moving upheaval, 4 rooms of our new house were "flooded" when a workman "accidently" drained the pool water into the septic tank, which in turn came up through the toilets. Thankfully we had painters here who walked in on the disaster...or it could have been much worse. So, we are all 6 in two rooms right now, but enjoying life at our new place nonetheless.
We have been processing the move for quite a while...having given birth to 2 children in that house makes me quite sentimental about it. I made a list of all the milestones that took place within those walls. When I find it, I will share it with you. However, saying good bye to it tonight was not as sad as I thought it would be. We love where we are in our new house. The kids are holding up well. Although being 1 and 3 and moving seems to be a tad traumatic. Especially 1. We are ready to get in some kind of routine again, and I never knew I would be so happy about the prospect of cooking dinner and washing dishes again. (we are still waiting on a stove/oven and the dishwasher!)
So, the summer starts tomorrow. Susannah is going to drum camp. Swimming lessons are on tap. Lots of organizing in our new house...a wedding, 3 camping trips and a few more road trips no doubt. Also looking forward to lots of reading and dare I say sleeping past 6am. We are so thankful for our blessings and the way that this has been so watched over. We are thankful.
Here's a few glimpses of some cute people to leave you with...
