Is it finally really summer?

WOW! It's really feeling like summer here in Portland this weekend! And, it's about time!!!
It feels so great to wake up to sunshine, and be able to take the munchkins outside to play!

We are slowly, but surely getting settled into our new home. It's so nice to live so close to everything... ie. grocery store, gas stations, etc. As when we lived in Gig Harbor it was a good 15 minute drive into town. So we are thankful to have everything so close, but most importantly to have some of our family SO CLOSE. Brooke's Grandmother lives about 5 minutes away, as does her Aunt and their family. It's great!
Not to mention all of our most dear friends are also nearby, and it is so nice to see them, and be caught up on all that is going on in their lives.

Brooke has been working hard on the house. To say that it was cleaned before the move would be ... well ... a BIT FAT LIE! It was pretty dirty. So, not only unpacking, decorating, etc. - but, also TONS o' cleaning to do, as well.
But, so far it's all been worth it. We are really enjoying our new home. And, hope and pray to be here for a while... NO MORE MOVING!!!!

I hope this finds you all well, and enjoying this amazing weather. Get outside and do something, even if it's just sitting and enjoying that big yellow ball in the sky!

ps. Enjoy some pictures we have gotten of the kiddos since our BIG move! :p
