Good-bye House!

Well, we did it! We managed to get all of our belongings onto a moving truck and say good-bye to our house. I was determined to get one last family picture by the front door before we left. Don't worry, Paige was not crying because we were leaving, but because she really did not want to take a picture:)

Lately

It's been awhile since I've posted because....
WE'VE BEEN BUSY - packing, that is!


Ben's version of packing - writing our names on the tape


Grandpa's version of packing - patching ALL of our walls -
with a little help from Paige


Will's version of packing - smiling in the box


Paige's version of packing - diving right in

Who said packing can't be fun?

Just for me

This post is just for me - inspired by my mother-in-law - who reminded me that the kids won't play the way they do right now for very long. If you have ever watched Paige and Will play, they most definitely have some particular favorites:) So I went on a mission to capture the kids in some of their day-to-day activities, in order to remember the way they are right now!

Paige is learning how to peddle - and wants to be outside constantly!!


The kids both wedge themselves in this 8-inch inset in my kitchen, yell, "Go!"and race down our hallway into their playroom.


I can usually find Will by listening for banging - he's actually banging a toy this time!! Usually, it's on the glass, table or wall (until Mom stops him)


Paige has this new thing where she only wants to color the noses on her coloring books☺ We're going through lots of paper in order to fulfill her wishes!


Both of the kids love to wheel their backpacks around the house


Another quirky favorite, lining the cars up on the piano


And Paige, outside again, perfecting her swing.

Blessed

We've spent the last month preparing to say goodbye to some of our dear friends that we've made over the past 6 years. In the past few weeks, I've been trying to capture some precious moments of the kids with their good buddies. I'm still working on capturing all of them, but here are a few that I've taken:

Paige and Will with Addison


(Big) Paige, Liam, Haley, Kate, Will and (little) Paige


Paige and Griffin - Gymnastics and Bible Study buddies


Best Buddies - Paige and Addie celebrating Addie's Birthday

We're so thankful for our friends - what a blessing you have been to us!
