While We Were Out

We went ahead and closed on our new house in North Carolina!

 

And we welcomed ourselves in before having to pack up and head home for now.

 

The kids had no problem finding their living area and settling in. Thankfully phone service is good there.

 

Strikingly similar to our previous house in Texas, we think we'll make ourselves right at home during our April through June staggered move.

 

And, I have no high hopes that this will actually organize the flood of shoes, but perhaps it will help keep them dumped in an out-of-the-way area for at least a little while.

Time With Grandma Airplane

While I was out for work, Grandma Airplane came along to help the kiddos.

And they made a pretty cool cake!

And spent some time outside.

 

And went to the school art show!

 

And the girls had their end of the year dance at school.

Ha, dance.  right.

 

Thank you grandma for always stepping in when we have the scheduling disasters.

Put it on the list

Dear Home Owners' Association

Dear Homeowners' Assoication,

When not enough people cared to vote, the resolution to allow a playset over ten feet high in the backyard did not pass.

I am unclear how this construction could pass in our sticky-sweet little world, but having the roof on top makes it an eyesore....

Brother.

This will surely spark some future posting...



Started This Little Project

About 4 months ago.

Restoring old bookshelves from our family's farm in Iowa.

Cannot wait to tuck them into our house where we finally have a place to put them, columns and all.

Helps to now live in a place where a February afternoon outside turns out to be the perfect day.
