Hello? Is anybody home?

I apologize for my lack of posts, but we have been really busy. A week ago we closed and moved into a new house. We've been very busy packing and unpacking and getting the house in order. We still have a lot to do! The only pictures on my camera are of the empty rooms at the old house(for Evan). Evan spent a couple days with my parents during the move and she sent me some pictures of his activities, so I'll post a few of those.

Long story how we ended up moving....Eric found a house he liked in Mid-June online just a few blocks away from where we live. We didn't like it, but the one next door was also for sale. The houses share a dock on the lake. The owner of the house next door was home and he invited us in. He explained that he is a builder and bought the house a couple years before and gutted it and made it really beautiful. He said he was going to be doing some more work in the area and he said since we lived nearby he would come look at our house and he might want to buy it(he needed a place to live while he did the other projects). The following week he came and looked at our house and we reached an agreement. On July 28th we closed. He bought our house and we bought his. We didn't have to put it on the market! He has lots of plans for our "old" house and I can't wait to see what he does with it.

Both boys love the new house! I was reading to Alex before bed tonight and he said "I love my new rooms mommy". Evan also loves the new house and his new room. The yard is a lot bigger than our old yard and Alex even found some toys (a backhoe and truck) stuck in the bushes in the backyard left by the previous little boy who lived here. They are adjusting well to their new rooms!

There are not enough hours in the day!
